6. Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change and Water Scarcity on Agricultural Practices in Kenya -Implications for Adaptation Strategies
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term.

7. Analysis of pervasive climate risks to global rice production at the subnational level
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Rice is a vital crop and main source of calories for half the global population, particularly in the GlobalSouth. Despite increasing demand for rice, climate change, urbanisation, and land use development arethreatening rice production and therefore food security. LÄS MER
8. Evaluation of the variation in albedo over snow-covered forest in Northern Sweden and Finland
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The effect of albedo variability induced by meteorological parameters in snow-covered forested areas at local scale is poorly known. Few meteorological stations measure albedo, even though the effect on albedo caused by land use changes is well known. LÄS MER
9. Emissions of nitrous oxide associated with frost killed cover crops
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Agriculture is responsible for approximately 80% of anthropogenic emissions of the potent and long-lived greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). N2O emissions from agricultural soils are characterized by high temporal and spatial variability and often peak in short bursts related to events such as precipitation, fertilization and soil thawing.

10. Evaluating Sentinel-2 based phenology and productivity data for crop monitoring in Swedish agricultural fields
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Sentinel-2 based data provides interesting opportunities for land monitoring and applications in agriculture. High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) is derived from Sentinel-2 data and offers up to 13 metrics. LÄS MER
