  1. 1. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the spatial ecology of moose in an area with high recreational activity

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Maximilian Dörr; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Moose; Alces alces; habitat selection; tourism; human disturbance; activity; movement; speed; seasons; Covid-19; pandemic;

    Sammanfattning : In diverse landscapes, the coexistence of wildlife habitat requirements and human land use often leads to conflicts, posing challenges for sustainable species management. Recreational activities, especially in sparsely populated areas, frequently disturb wildlife behavior, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic impacts on habitats. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Geomorphic change along the Rönne river : Effects caused by dams

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Adam Scheér; [2024]
    Nyckelord :fluvial morphology; dams; GIS; Rönne river;

    Sammanfattning : Many rivers can shape their path through the landscape with erosion and deposition where the riverbed and riverbanks both shape the direction and energy of the flow. The river flow can erode the riverbanks and create meanders which is when the river creates bends in its path that become increasingly curved. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Non-native plants in mountain ecosystems. An exploration of plant diversity and its response to road disturbance and alien invasion.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Anderberg Lina; [2023-10-19]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding patterns of invasive plants becomes ever more important as anthropogenic presence continues to facilitate their spread. In mountainous landscapes, cases of establishment by nonnative species have become frequent, despite the environmentally unfavorable conditions for plants less adapted to the harsh climate. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Evaluation of River Restoration Measures: Interstitial Habitat Variables and Salmon Hatching Rates as Indicators of Success

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Limnologi

    Författare :Jonas Emanuelsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : River ecosystems are some of the most complex ecosystems on Earth, characterized by a highly heterogenous environment which is able to sustain a disproportionally high level of biodiversity in relation to the area of which they occupy. However, anthropogenic activities are encroaching on the highly diverse riverine landscape, threatening freshwater biodiversity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Identifying motivations and barriers to vegetarian diets--An exploratory study on young internationals in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Författare :Ziyue Wang; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Sustainable food consumption; Vegetarian diet; Vegetarian motivation; Vegetarian barrier; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Our current food system is a significant contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, land and water use, biodiversity loss among other issues. In order to achieve the sustainability agendas, a shift in the food system is required. LÄS MER
