1. The bzzzt of frirends. Interspecific competition in Arctic plants for pollination services.
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : The Arctic has a harsh environment that is challenging for the flora and fauna that inhabits the region. The ruling abiotic factors of the region results is a low species richness that creates a potential challenge for the region’s plant species. LÄS MER
2. The implications of heavy fuel oil ban in arctic waters for sustainable arctic shipping
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaperSammanfattning : The increased temperature in the polar regions is one of the significant impacts of global warming and consequential climate change. In the Arctic, regional warming leads to the accelerated loss of sea ice caps, which has opened up new international shipping routes. LÄS MER
3. USA och Norges avskräckningsstrategier i Arktis
Master-uppsats, FörsvarshögskolanSammanfattning : This qualitative study explores the application of deterrence strategies by the United States and Norway in the Arctic. Using the Regional Security Complex Theory to understand complex interactions in the region, the study finds that the countries have differing perspectives and strategies. LÄS MER
4. Loess as an Environmental Proxy for Reconstruction of Palaeoclimate in the High Arctic
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : We are currently speeding towards significant changes in the climate of the earth which, if ignored, will lead to severely altered climatic conditions with serious consequences for several species and ecosystems. The polar regions especially are very sensitive to climate changes, and the changes these regions undergo affect the climate on a global scale. LÄS MER
5. Do OTC warming effects on ecosystem processes depend on moss species identity, precipitation, and moss removal?
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Long-term warming experiments in arctic tundra have resulted in reduced moss cover and increased vascular plant cover. As mosses have a major impact on microclimatic conditions, changes in community composition can potentially alter direct and indirect drivers of productivity and decomposition, which are low in arctic ecosystems.
