  1. 16. Temporal, climatic and spatial variation in the distribution and activity patterns of the raccoon (Procyon lotor) in Hainich National Park, Germany

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

    Author : Maria Grüneberger; [2022]
    Keywords : raccoon; procyon lotor; hainich National Park; canopy Walk; camera trapping; nocturnality; ground temperature; habitat preference; european beech; fagus sylvatica; anthropogenic influence;

    Abstract : The raccoon (Procyon lotor) has been a part of German fauna since the 1920s, following a number of releases and escapes from captivity. This study intends to investigate the distribution and activity patterns of this non-native mesopredator in Hainich National Park, which lies in Central Germany, in-between 3 core areas of established raccoon populations.

  4. 18. Modelling the growth of Pinus sylvestris L. monocultures in Sweden depending on the absorbed light

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Mateusz Grzeszkiewicz; [2022]
    Keywords : climate change; forest modelling; light use efficiency; photosynthetically active radiation; Scots pine;

    Abstract : Stand growth models are an important aid in contemporary sustainable forest management as a major planning and decision-making tool.

  5. 19. Normalization of Cooling Demand in Buildings, development, and evaluation of methods

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Xingtong Wu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Because of the increasing demand for indoor thermal comfort and the better insulation performance of building envelopes, cooling demand is an increasingly important part of building energy consumption despite the cold climate in Stockholm. Finding a way to normalize cooling demand to climatic conditions will help better energy audits to improve the building performance to achieve energy-saving. READ MORE
