  1. 6. Using remote sensing and land abandonment as a proxy for long-term human out-migration. A Case Study: Al-Hassakeh Governorate, Syria

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

    Författare :Berit Mohr; [2021]
    Nyckelord :geography; GIS; remote sensing; Syria; vegetation indices; land abandonment; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of human migration and displacement has become more important in recent years and will continue to do so in the following decades. Voices become louder claiming that climate change is a driving factor for increased displacement and migration. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Cereals as ‘leftover biomass’ : an analysis of Swedish cereal production from the perspective of feed-food competition

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Författare :Beatrice Tillgren; [2021]
    Nyckelord :feed-food competition; left-over biomass; low‐opportunity‐cost feedstuff; cereals; cereal quality; wheat; rye; barley; oats; Swedish cereal production;

    Sammanfattning : In a time with climate change and a growing population it is important to use the arable land as effectively as possible to ensure food security and minimize environmental impacts. Currently, livestock production uses 70% of all agricultural land which highlights the competition between the usage of land for crops for feed rather than for human consumption. LÄS MER

  4. 8. THE IMPACT OF NON-FOSSIL ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY : Investigating ecological footprints

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Författare :Stefan Svedberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This study aims to investigate the impact of non-fossil energy consumption on environmental quality. The sample includes 36 OECD countries for the period 1993-2016. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands

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

    Författare :Timothy Micallef; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Land-use; Biodiversity; Grazing land; Remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. LÄS MER

  7. 10. The role of agricultural drainage in controlling the effectiveness of two-stage ditches in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Neerajaa Nagarajan; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Subsurface drainage; Absorbance flourescence spectroscopy; Suspended sediments; NO3N; NH4N; PO4P; TP values; DOM indices;

    Sammanfattning : Increased agricultural activities are causing eutrophication in downstream water bodies. To mitigate nutrient leaching from cropland, various in-field and edge-of-field practices have been implemented. LÄS MER
