    Sammanfattning : Half a decade after the signing of the peace agreement between the Government of Colombia and the FARC-EP, the country continues to suffer from persisting violence and the need to address environmental destruction is more evident than ever. This research builds on a post-development critique of current peace efforts and responds to the call for including local perspectives in knowledge creation and development practice. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Evaluating the ability of LPJ-GUESS to simulate the tree size structures of tropical forests

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

    Författare :Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :tropical forests; tree size distributions; LPJ-GUESS; carbon; biomass; sensitivity analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Patterns of diversity of sex chromosomes and mitochondria in sub- Saharan African populations

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Panagiotis-Ioannis Zervakis; [2020]

The ancestors of Khoe-San and rainforest hunter gatherers have been linked with the roots of human history and present unmatched diversity. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Biological Soil Invertebrate Activity in a Tropical Rainforest : A comparison of soil invertebrate activity in two tropical rain forests in Borneo

    L3-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Hanna Berglund; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Soil Activity; Bait Lamina Stick;

    Sammanfattning : Logging of tropical forests is increasing worldwide. Logging alters the forest conditions such as temperature, soil water content and litter input into the soil. This study explored how soil invertebrate activity in Borneo differs between pristine forests and two secondary forests, with 10 and 40 years of recovery time since the last logging. LÄS MER
