  1. 6. Floristic change in the province of Scania in southernmost Sweden 1800-2020: using fragmented data to study landscape-level shifts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Cassandra Hallman; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Vascular plant observances were compiled for 10 well-documented parishes throughout southernmost Sweden from published floras, herbarium specimens, modern inventories, and a large citizen-science database to provide presence/absence of species from 1800-2020 at the decade level. A regionally-specific database of species-specific plant traits and ecological indicator values was used to examine floristic and ecological changes across an extended timeline which indicates that several of the most apparent conservation issues including climate warming, woody encroachment, and soil chemistry alterations have acted for long over a century.

  4. 8. Development of a Simulation Tool to Support the Process of Setting Climate Targets – An Exploratory Study at IKEA

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk logistik

    Author : Patrik Sander; Simon Skoog; [2017]
    Keywords : scope 3; value chain; science-based targets; policy evaluation; sustainability; simulation; system dynamics modelling; simulering; hållbarhet; policyutvärdering; värdekedja; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Background The world’s governments agreed in 2010 to work towards limiting global warming to a two-degree warming compared to pre-industrial temperatures with the presumption that this would suffice in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Meeting this goal would, according to The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, require a reduction of global emissions by 41–72 percent by the year 2050. READ MORE

  5. 9. Test and application of a vegetation-based CO2 and CH4 flux estimate from three ombrogenic and topogenic peatlands in Southern Germany

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Birgit Weber; [2010]
    Keywords : greenhouse gas; GEST; peatland;

    Abstract : A stabilisation and restoration of peatlands is seen as a sustainable strategie for climate change mitigation. To find the most suitable target areas, greenhouse gas fluxes have to be quantified. A vegetation-based flux estimate is seen as cost-effective alternative to avoid time consuming and expensive flux measurements. READ MORE
