1. 1. Increasing forest mortality and its drivers: Simulating central European forests under climate change

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Marieke Scheel; [2021]
   Keywords : forest mortality; central Europe; competition; CO2; temperature; precipitation; DVM; LPJ-GUESS; simulation; reproducing data; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Increasing tree growth and mortality rates in Europe are still poorly understood and have been attributed to a variety of drivers. This study aimed to relate increasing forest mortality rates in six central European countries to climate drivers (CO2 concentration, temperature and precipitation) from 1985-2015, using a process-based vegetation model.

4. 3. A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Julika Wolf; [2020]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; drought impacts; old-growth forests; forest management; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. READ MORE

5. 4. Green Roof Performance in Cold Climates : A study on how different plants suited for the subarctic climate in northernSweden affects the performances of green roofs

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Jonathan Hjelm; [2019]
   Keywords : Stormwater; Green roofs; Cold climate; Stormwater management;

   Abstract : Increased urbanization leads to an increasing amount of impervious surfaces and a decrease ofthe natural hydrological function. Urban stormwater does thus risk to create high surface flows which could damage the receiving water bodies (e.g. erosion) or the urban area itself (flooding). READ MORE

6. 5. Limiting factors in capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) conservation

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Author : Christer Moreira Boman; Andreas Pettersson; [2019]
   Keywords : reintroduction; conservation; capercaillie; wildlife management; population viability analysis;

   Abstract : With current extinction rates comparable with the rates of previous mass extinctions and humanities necessity of biodiversity, conservation of habitat and species should be regarded as paramount whenever planning land use. In this paper we have focused on the Western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) an umbrella species in Eurasian boreal and temperate forests. READ MORE
