  1. 6. Framtidsutsikter för pastoralism på Kenyanska betesmarker

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Zebastian Cederblad; [2019]
    Keywords : Kenya; ; kenyanska betesmarker; pastoralism; zebu; boskap; landfragmentering; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Pastoralism är ett system där majoriteten av en individs inkomst och mat kommer från boskapsdjur. Boskapsdjurens huvudsakliga matkälla är naturligt växande bete. Pastoralism kan delas in i tre huvudtyper; nomadisk, transhuman och stillasittande. I Kenya finns variationer av alla tre. READ MORE

  3. 7. Synoptic Variability of Extreme Snowfall in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, Canada

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper
