1. 1. Demographic equilibrium modelling of single tree selection stands in Siljansfors : judging the sustainability of single tree selection systems in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Ludwig Olofsson; [2023]
   Keywords : CCF; continuous cover forestry; single tree selection; equilibrium models; forestry;

   Abstract : Lately debates have occurred questioning the rotation system, which is the most used silvicultural system in Sweden. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has therefore been suggested as an alternative management method, due to its environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and higher resilience against extreme weather which is important with the current climate change.

3. 2. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Duncan Jones; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

4. 3. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Carl Holmquist; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; LPJ-GUESS; drought; sensitivity analysis; evapotranspiration; gross primary production; hydraulic parameters; boreal forest.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. READ MORE

5. 4. A detailed study on Amazon Forest structure and mortality rates through LPJ-GUESS vegetation model

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Sara Mazzuoli; [2021]
   Keywords : Amazon s Forest; LPJ-GUESS; simulation; TEAM-NETWORK; dynamic vegetation model; observation; mortality; allometry; tree stand structure; biomass; cohort; PFTs; plant functional types; NPP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Nowadays it has become relevant for scientists to understand the impact of tropical forest structure on the Global Carbon Cycle. Dynamic vegetation models have been developed to pursue this issue, specifically by improving algorithms that could analyze the allometry, biomass content and mortality rate of each singular simulated plant individual and how this responds to climate change, management and rising CO2 concentrations.

6. 5. Using Artificial Neural Networks to Predict One Year Population Mortality Rates

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Shun Huang; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Being able to predict mortality rates is the key factor in any pension or life insurance companies’ business model. Artificial Neural Networks are already being tested and implemented to predict mortality in the field of medical science, with recent studies showing promising results of their predictive power in one year mortality rates.
