1. Effectiveness of the Costa Rican Payments for Ecosystem Services program in mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: Trends in carbon stocks 2012-2020
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutetSammanfattning : Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. LÄS MER
2. Mushroom cultivation in Temperate Agroforestry : potential Agroforestry practices, growing methods, and native edible saprophytes to Sweden
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Traditions of outdoor cultivation of edible fungi in woodland conditions have been practiced in North-East Asia for centuries. This outdoor mushroom production method was exported to North America almost 40 years ago and provides an additional income for small-scale forest farmers, the agroforestry practice closest to woodland conditions.

3. Mapping tree canopy cover in the semi-arid Sahel using satellite remote sensing and Google Earth imagery
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Tree vegetation is an essential element in the daily life of the people in the Sahel region of Africa. It is also considered as a robust indicator of the Sahel ecosystem status and health. In this thesis, a method to estimate tree vegetation was developed and used in mapping the tree canopy cover in semi-arid Sahel. LÄS MER
4. Assessing the effects of agroforestry practices on biological control potential in kale (Brassica oleracea acephala) plantations in Western Kenya
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : Agricultural intensification and extension at the expense of forests are known to have a negative impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), agriculture provides livelihoods for most of the population and forestry is an important additional income. LÄS MER
5. Cooking banana farming system in rural Uganda : a comparison between agroforestry systems and non agroforestry systems
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologySammanfattning : The demand for food, feed, fibre and fuel has increased in Uganda over the past 50 years due to population growth. Recurring extreme climate events such as drought and flooding, in combination with large-scale land degradation, have led to declining crop yields. Lack of equipment, money and socio-economic issues has contributed to low yields. LÄS MER
