1. An evaluation of the Janzen-Connell hypothesis for a dry tropical forest in Guinea-Bissau
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The Janzen–Connell hypothesis states that seedling survival increases with distance from the parent tree, which promotes regular spacing of species within a forest and thus biodiversity. Very few studies have tested this hypothesis in tropical Africa. LÄS MER
2. Ecosystems Services in swidden agriculture in the Peruvian tropical Andes : the Kechwa-Lamas farm-forestry system
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural DevelopmentSammanfattning : In the Amazon, life supporting services are importantly associated to forest areas. Nevertheless, the connection of ecosystem services to agricultural systems it is also of great importance, because agriculture is one of the most important causes of degradation and loss of these areas.

3. Reliable Detection of Water Areas in Multispectral Drone Imagery : A faster region-based CNN model for accurately identifying the location of small-scale standing water bodies
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : Dengue and Zika are two arboviral viruses that affect a significant portion of the world population. The principal vector species of both viruses are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. They breed in very slow flowing or standing pools of water. LÄS MER
4. Increased carbon sequestration of actively restored tropical forests in Sabah, Malaysia : a comparison of natural regeneration and active restoration
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : As restoration with assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting becomes a more important and popular method to restore ecosystem services and mitigate negative climate effects, these treatments and their effectiveness is heavily debated. There are three main groups of opinions regarding restoration, one is that humans actively need to help nature recover and the second is that nature itself does a better job without our help and the third is somewhere in between.

5. Analysis of simulated functional diversity in tropical forests: Differences between cultivated and naturally grown secondary forests in Cambodia
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Accelerated deforestation represents a major global environmental concern. Over the last decades Cambodia has experienced a drastic decrease in forest cover and measures to halt deforestation have not been as effective as planned. LÄS MER
