  1. 1. Examining the protective services of mangroves at a regional scale in Indonesia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Mikaela Gomez; [2022]
    Keywords : Mangroves; Nature-Based Solutions; Disaster Risk Reduction; Exposure; GIS; Remote Sensing; Science General;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.

  5. 4. Total carbon sequestration during an entire rotation period of oil palm in northern Borneo

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

    Author : Josefin Runesson; [2019]
    Keywords : oil palm; carbon balance; carbon sequestration; land use change; soil carbon; carbon credits;

    Abstract : Considerable amounts of carbon (C) has been lost from tropical forests as a result of continuous conversion of tropical forests into oil palm plantations. Therefore, a better understanding of the C budget and potential sequestration rate in oil palm plantations and how it compares to natural forests is needed. READ MORE
