1. 1. Winter wheat exudates : Improving wheats resilience to drought

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Freja Haverland; [2024]
   Keywords : drought; PGPR; exudates; agriculture; food security;

   Abstract : Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a crop that dominates the diets of about 35% of the world's human population. But wheat yields can be severely affected by drought. Therefore, in this experiment, root exudation of winter wheat was compared to find out how exudation changes during drought stress. READ MORE

3. 2. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
   Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

4. 3. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : David Ebert; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

5. 4. Design of the model Community to Electric Vehicle to Community (C2V2C) for increased resilience and network friendliness in photovoltaic energy-sharing building communities

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Edgar Mauricio Ocampo Alvarez; [2022]
   Keywords : C2V2C; Photovoltaic; Coordinated Control; Electric Vehicle; Electromobility; Power Balance;

   Abstract : Both the solar photovoltaic (PV) installation and electric vehicles (EVs) deployment are increasing significantly in Sweden. With the large-scale integration of PV and EVs, problems such as the voltage deviations and overloading of components can arise, since the existing distribution grids are not designed to host the large shares of new EV loads and the intermittent PV power feed-in.

6. 5. Guidelines for Integrated Flood Control Design in the Informal Settlements of Cape Town Municipality : A case study of Kosovo Informal Settlement in Philippi District

   University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

   Author : Erasmus Mseleku; [2021]
   Keywords : climate change; community participation; flooding; informal settlements; integrated water management systems; nature-based solutions; spatial inequality; sustainability; urban flooding;

   Abstract : Flooding over the last few years has become the most frequent and devastating of the natural disasters. This has accounted for approximately half of the death-rate and a third of economic losses as a result of weather-related events. READ MORE
