  1. 1. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Francesco Saretto; [2024]
    Keywords : Barley; Rainfed; Climate Change; AquaCrop; AquaCrop-OSPy; Mediterranean; Climate Change Adaptation; Crop Modeling; Agriculture; Irrigation;

    Abstract : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. READ MORE

  3. 2. Circularity through Collaboration - A Case Study on Textile Industry

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för företagande och ledning

    Author : Balajishnu Udayakumar; Marcello Benincasa; [2024]
    Keywords : Circular economy; Collaboration; CE strategies; System perspective; Textile industry;

    Abstract : In the last decade, circular economy (CE) has gained widespread attention among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers as a sustainable alternative to the current linear system. This system, which operates under the logic of "take-make-dispose", poses significant threats to our environment due to the exponential growth in natural resource extraction that we have witnessed in the last fifty years.

  6. 5. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Amanda Hansson; [2023-08-07]
    Keywords : computational model; population dynamics; metapopulation dynamics; nutrient flow; simulation; spatially explicit; individual-based;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.
