1. 1. Modelling the effects of substituting pollinators in decline

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Axel Eriksson; [2023]
   Keywords : pollinators; plants; mutualism; competition; equilibrium populations; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : While pollination is essential for many plant species and ecosystem functions, pollinator populations worldwide are declining. This decline is largely due to abiotic changes in the environment: climate change and other anthropogenic impacts, such as pesticides and land use change. READ MORE

3. 2. Modelling of water and material transport in River Storån to Lake Bolmen

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Imjal Sukupayo; [2021]
   Keywords : Brownification; Water Color; Dissolved Organic Matter; Discharge; hydraulic analysis; Tracer Analysis; Dispersion coefficient; Advection and Diffusion; Bolmen Lake; Storån River; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The change of color of water from yellow to brown termed as brownification process is mainly due to leaching of humus and iron concentrations. In recent years, this problem is increasing in lake Bolmen, a major source of drinking water in Skåne county, Sweden. READ MORE

4. 3. Effects of afforestation and crop systems on the water balance in the highlands of Ethiopia

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Rebecca Naomi Ter Borg; [2020]
   Keywords : Acacia decurrens; landscape water balance; sediment yield; soil and water conservation; SWAT modelling; water balance partitioning;

   Abstract : In the Upper Blue Nile Basin land use is rapidly changing due to agricultural development and intensification with potential effects on the water availability both up- and downstream. This study is aimed to explore the impact of agricultural land use change on a landscape water balance. READ MORE

5. 4. Investigating future land use scenarios: consequences for food production and grassland preservation in the steppe biome, Orenburg province of Southwestern Russia

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Author : Nataliia Pustilnik; [2020]
   Keywords : land use change; scenarios; shared socio-economic pathways; land use-change modelling; steppe; grasslands;

   Abstract : Many land systems experience massive ecological pressure due to ongoing land use changes for the increasing demand for food, but also need to sustain essential ecosystem services. Computer-based model scenarios help to anticipate the consequences of different socio-economic future transition pathways for humans and nature and evaluate trade-offs between various demands on land.
