1. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. LÄS MER
2. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. LÄS MER
3. Seasonal Variability of Ice Nucleating Particles (INP) in Southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : Cloud ice crystals are formed by ice-nucleating particles (INPs). The micro-physical properties of clouds, precipitation formation and the life cycle of clouds are strongly influenced by the presence or absence of ice. Therefore knowledge of atmospheric INP concentrations is crucial to improve weather forecasting and climate projections. LÄS MER
4. Sustainable use of calcium nitrate fertilizer under variable precipitation, soil properties and crop management
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentSammanfattning : Application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen leaching. Accordingly, there is a need to increase knowledge about sustainable farming practices to reduce nitrogen losses to the environment without curtailing crop harvest. LÄS MER
5. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER
