1. Kommunen och ekosystemtjänsterna - En fallstudie över Lunds kommuns möjligheter till geografisk kartläggning av ekosystemtjänster ur ett översiktligt perspektiv
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)Sammanfattning : The degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity occurs at an alarming rate. This results in an imbalance of ecosystem functions, leading to a loss of ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits which humans can derive from ecosystems and their internal processes, thus vital to preserve from a societal perspective. LÄS MER
2. Ljusföroreningars inverkan på nattlig pollinering : En paraplygranskning av mörkrets betydelse vid analys av urbana ekosystemtjänster
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetSammanfattning : Outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) is raising concern as a possible cause of the loss of insect diversity. Due to a diurnal bias in standard methods in environmental monitoring and urban ecosystem service assessments, the issue has remained in the dark and especially relevant for nocturnal pollination, which is less well known.

3. The natural pest control potential of different landscapes : mapping the ecosystem service in three regions of Sweden
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Natural pest control describes the process of natural enemies suppressing pests and thus reducing crop damage and stabilizing yields. How well these beneficial arthropod predators and parasitoids can thrive in a landscape is influenced by the land-use types in the vicinity, such as forest patches, pastures, or agricultural fields, and their ability to provide resources.

4. Land cover changes in Southern Sweden from the mid-Holocene to present day: insights for ecosystem service assessments
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from pollen information.

5. How can Ecosystem Services be implemented in local Climate Adaptation? : A case study of Arjeplog
Master-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggandeSammanfattning : Ecosystem services are essential for human climate adaptation. As climate change is a direct driver of change for ecosystem service provisioning, it is of importance to care for our ecosystems to be able to cope with future challenges. Local governance has a central role in climate adaptation due to its responsibility in physical planning. LÄS MER
