  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. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

  4. 3. Impact of wetland restoration on river discharge - A case study of Bråån, Skåne, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ardis Luda; [2023]
    Keywords : wetlands; wetland restoration; HYPE model; river discharge; Sweden; land use change; flooding; hydrological modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. READ MORE

  5. 4. LoRa Based Moisture Sensing System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Rasha Badran; [2023]
    Keywords : LoRa; moisture sensor; capacitive sensor;

    Abstract : Water is an important parameter for crop growth, and the information about the moisture content in soil at different depths is very useful for farmers to determine the best time to water the soil and to irrigate farmland so as to maximize their yield. This thesis project aims to develop a prototype of a multi-depth moisture sensor probe that is part of a large sensing system used in agriculture. READ MORE

  6. 5. Review of pH recommendations for soilless cultivation systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elric Fabricius; [2023]
    Keywords : soilless cultivation; hydroponics; aeroponics; NFT; nutrient film technique; DWC; deep water culture; pH; nutrient solution; speciation; availability; biomass production;

    Abstract : Our human population is growing, and with that, so is our demand for food, food that today still is not a guarantee for all of us. To help increase global food security, the diversification of our food production through the implementation of soilless, hydroponic cultivation systems has been suggested. READ MORE
