  1. 1. Produktiva grönytor i periferin : en studie i att introducera mångbruk på kommunala grönytor i stadens ytterkant

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Anna Schön; [2022]
    Keywords : mångbruk; multifunktionalitet; förvaltning; urbant skogsbruk; skogsträdgård; betesdjur; slåtteräng; stadsodling; peri-urban; stadsranden; Växjö; Lund;

    Abstract : I mötet mellan staden och jordbruket finns möjlighet att skapa en god levnadsmiljö med närhet till service och natur. Men i stadens periferi kan det även uppstå väldigt hårda gränser där underutnyttjade gräsytor möter ett otillgängligt, exkluderande odlingslandskap och där jordbrukets hantverksmässiga skötselmetoder känns avlägsna.

  3. 2. Mapping wetlands in Sweden using multi-source satellite data and random forest algorithm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Salvador Hernandez Malave; [2022]
    Keywords : physical geography and ecosystem analysis; multi-temporal; Google Earth Engine; machine learning; classification; country-wide; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. READ MORE

  4. 3. The natural pest control potential of different landscapes : mapping the ecosystem service in three regions of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Charlotte Peitz; [2021]
    Keywords : natural pest control; natural enemies; landscapes; agricultural diversification; pesticide reduction; mapping; ecosystem service; ecological intensification; agroecology;

    Abstract : Natural pest control describes the process of natural enemies suppressing pests and thus reducing crop damage and stabilizing yields. How well these beneficial arthropod predators and parasitoids can thrive in a landscape is influenced by the land-use types in the vicinity, such as forest patches, pastures, or agricultural fields, and their ability to provide resources.

  5. 4. Biochar as a carbon dioxide removal solution : An assessment of carbon stability and carbon dioxide removal potential in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Alessandro Corbo; [2020]
    Keywords : Climate change mitigation; biomass; pyrolysis; soil;

    Abstract : Biochar is increasingly gaining momentum in the context of climate change mitigation and its production in Sweden could potentially become a large-scale system. Carbon stability in biochar is a crucial factor to assess its the carbon sequestration potential. READ MORE

  6. 5. Relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stefan Arvidsson; [2015]
    Keywords : MODIS; forests mapping; fractional mapping; satellite derived phenology; GIS; Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; TIMESAT; NDVI; EVI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study investigated the “relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests”. The proposed method investigated in this study aims at mapping the fractional composition of deciduous/coniferous tree species and also the fractional composition of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and several pine (Pinus sp.
