1. Improving the thermal climate of schools in semi-desert climate : A case study of solutions in La Guajira, Colombia
Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknikSammanfattning : As the climate changes, hot regions like La Guajira's semi-desert will become even hotter. It is projected that the average temperature in this region will increase by 2.4 ℃ over the course of this century, with a 20 % reduction in precipitation. LÄS MER
2. Assessing the accuracy of a spatial model of habitat suitability for Calypso bulbosa
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Calypso bulbosa is a rare and visually striking orchid that grows in older mesic to moist forests in the northern half of Sweden. C. bulbosa is red listed as a threatened species (Vulnerable, VU) with a reduction in numbers linked to modern forestry practices and exacerbated by the warming climate. LÄS MER
3. Koldioxidabsorption av Gröna Väggar : En utredning av växter på fasader
Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/JTH, Byggnadsteknik och belysningsvetenskapSammanfattning : The pressure on current urban ecosystems is an ongoing problem as greenhouse gaseshave a negative impact on the climate but also on people around the world. As manycities are densely populated, it becomes difficult to introduce more greenery into citieswithout taking up a lot of space, for example by building parks. LÄS MER
4. Does Carbon Pricing work? A qualitative review of Carbon Pricing’s ex-post results, and policy-design suggestions for improving its efficacy.
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUSSammanfattning : The world is currently heading for 3°C of global warming due to global excessive carbon emissions, and while science is producing the knowledge necessary to combat it, the radical change needed is not coming fast enough. Current political and economic paradigms hail carbon pricing as either the, or part of the solution to our carbon emissions problem. LÄS MER
5. INDIVIDUAL TRAIT MATCHING OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS) AND FLOWERS ALONG AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Insect pollinators serve a critical role in maintaining plant biodiversity and are especially susceptible to changes within their environment. To study the possible effects of seasonal variation in temperature, as well as climatic temperature increase on the plant-pollinator community, the relationship between bumblebee and flowering plant traits along an elevational gradient, representing warming-induced changes in plant community, were examined.
