  1. 1. Can the disappearance of the forest orchid Goodyera repens be linked to clearcutting? : a spatial analysis using citizen science data from southern Sweden.

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Ines Diaz Garcia; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Goodyera repens; knärot; Artportalen; forestry; clearcut; citizen science; southern Sweden; conservation;

    Sammanfattning : Habitat transformation through forestry has an impact on boreal species in northern Europe. In Sweden, even-aged plantations with clearcut harvesting are forestry practices that affect the understory vegetation. This study focuses on the red-listed Goodyera repens, a rhizomatous evergreen orchid. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Constructing a civilized wilderness. An intersectional discourse analysis of the Sierra Club 1893-1910

  5. 4. Turning the tide on marine biodiversity loss: How Swedish coastal cities are leveraging citizen interaction to improve conservation outcomes

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Författare :Martine Deinum; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Marine spatial planning; urban planning; blue space; program theory; citizen interaction; coastal conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid coastal urbanization and declining marine biodiversity rates are complex problems that require broad, integrated sets of solutions. Although isolating nature from human impact prevails as the standard conservation approach, social-ecological systems require more holistic solutions. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

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