  1. 1. Hyperspectral and multispectral satellite data analysis of nitrogen in grazed and ungrazed tundra in Långfjället, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Emma Dahlstedt; [2023-08-18]
    Nyckelord :Hyperspectral imaging; Imaging spectroscopy; Nitrogen; Reindeer; Herbivory; Tundra; Grazing;

    Sammanfattning : Reindeer are a keystone species in the circumpolar north, where they hold great cultural and ecological importance. Continued climate change threatens the long-term sustainability of reindeer husbandry. Reindeer can affect the tundra landscape, influencing the soil nutrient cycling, including the soil nitrogen availability. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Trends in mountain birch seed abundance and its relation to temperature and moth abundance: a ten-year study from Swedish Lapland

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

    Författare :Frida Gustafsson; [2023-02-09]
    Nyckelord :Betula pubescens; climate change; seed production; Epirrita autumnata; Operophtera brumata; subarctic ecology; folivory; larval abundance;

    Sammanfattning : Boreal forest is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Being one of the most ubiquitous and coldtolerant tree species in Sweden, the mountain birch forms a unique deciduous treeline and marks the forest-tundra ecotone. LÄS MER

  4. 3. TUNDRA

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Industridesign

    Författare :Anna Persson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Arts and Architecture; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : In this bachelors project I am exploring how Phase Change Material can be applied into an office chair to give a cooling effect and reduce the need for air conditioning. The motivation for the project was to find solutions to lower the energy consumption. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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 geovetenskap

    Författare :Alexina Brännlund; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Experimental warming; Subarctic tundra mosses; Productivity; Ecosystem respiration; Decomposition;

    Sammanfattning : 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.

  7. 5. Effekten på artsammansättning i växtsamhällen vid betning av Rangifer tarandus

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

    Författare :Emilie Voss-Schrader; [2023]
    Nyckelord :grazing pressure; Rangifer tarandus; species composition; vegetation analysis; Malla Strict Nature Reserve;

    Sammanfattning : The fact that large herbivores, such as Rangifer tarandus, play a part in shaping its environment through grazing and trampling of the ground is widely acknowledged today, as well as that these factors have the potential of affecting regional patterns and even global climate. This study investigated whether a considerable increase in grazing by R. LÄS MER
