  1. 1. Kartläggning av krisberedskapen på nötkreatursgårdar i Uppland : en intervjustudie av lantbrukares uppfattningar om sårbarheter och styrkor i beredskapen på mjölk- och köttgårdar

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Christine Dahl; [2024]
    Nyckelord :nötkreatur; ko; mjölkko; kris; krisberedskap; beredskap; beredskapsplan; lantbrukare; resiliens;

    Sammanfattning : Primärproduktionen, där animalieproduktion är en del, behöver kunna fortgå trots störningar så som mer extrema väderförhållanden med långdragen torka eller kraftiga skyfall, större sjukdomsutbrott eller i värsta fall väpnad konflikt. Idisslare har en viktig roll i vår livsmedelsförsörjning men i dagsläget vet vi väldigt lite om hur den enskilda gården skulle påverkas vid olika samhällsstörningar. LÄS MER

  3. 2. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Författare :Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Nyckelord :drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Tobias Bowley; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

  5. 4. Grassroots Initiatives for Urban Sustainability Transition: A Case Study of Urban Farming Projects in Informal Settlements in Nairobi, Kenya

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Margarita Oja Da Silva; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Global South; Grassroots Initiatives; Informal Settlements; Sustainability Transition; Sustainable Development; Urban Farming;

    Sammanfattning : Cities in the Global South are undergoing rapid urbanization, where a high percentage of the urban poor live in informal settlements that lack basic services, are associated with unemployment, low-income levels, and insecurity. The impacts of climate change, intensive agricultural practices, and highly globalized food systems pose challenges to food security. LÄS MER

  7. 5. LFA support in a changing climate : the interaction between the LFA support and drought periods on the use of agricultural land in Sweden

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Ella Jennersjö; [2023]
    Nyckelord :CAP; LFA; climate change; drought; agricultural land use;

    Sammanfattning : With climate change follows an expectation of more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and change in seasonal shifts. How climate variability might impact Swedish agriculture and interact with existing policy aiming at keeping agricultural land in production is not well understood. LÄS MER
