  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. Yearly distribution and composition of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Luleå wastewater treatment plant

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Moa Sjöberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :PFAS; WWTP; Wastewater treatment; Consumer products; Precursors;

    Sammanfattning : PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of substances that are used in a large variety of products because of their unique water and dirt repellent properties. The substances are extremely persistent and can spread over large distances in groundwater, surface water, and in the air, which makes them an environmental and a health concern. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Monitoring deforestation in the Serranía de Chiribiquete in northern Colombian Amazon using time series analysis of satellite data

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Yuyang Qian; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; CCDC; Forest loss; Landsat; Sentinel-1; Change detection; NNP; FARC; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Deforestation monitoring is of significant importance for the ecosystem, climate change,and policy-making. The availability of optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite remote sensing images, along with the development of time series change detection methods, has contributed to the increasing popularity of time series analysis in forest disturbance monitoring.

  5. 4. Effects of soil factors on pioneer bryophyte species composition

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Författare :Dora Mijić; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Bryophytes play a significant role in various ecological processes, including soil succession and colonization after disturbances. Although they are commonly believed to take up nutrients from soil solutions rather than the soil itself, the influence of soil on their growth and distribution is evident from previous studies.

  7. 5. The Effects of Climate Change on Zirben (Pinus cembra) Distribution in the Italian Alps

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

    Författare :Nicholas Asplin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Pinus Cembra; Tree line; Tree line shift; Alps; Climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic climate change has caused temperature increases all across the globe. Mountainous areas are among the most affected and are experiencing alarming rates of warming. Such rapid warming will have effects on alpine vegetation and their distribution throughout the alps. LÄS MER
