  1. 1. Looking for the present in the past: Social-Ecological Memory and Palaeoecology to explore changes in Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta-Colombia

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

    Author : Lina Gutierrez Cala; [2020]
    Keywords : Palaeoecology; Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta; mangrove; coastal ecosystems;

    Abstract : Mangrove forests are unique coastal ecosystems, formed through a complex network of terrestrial, estuarine, and marine processes that have provided a diverse assortment of societal benefits across time. Compounding anthropogenic pressures are driving critical mangrove degradation worldwide, threatening the wellbeing of coastal populations historically associated with these systems. READ MORE

  3. 2. A palaeoecological study of the establishment of beech forest in Söderåsen National Park, southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Maja Damber; [2020]
