  1. 1. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Författare :Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Nyckelord :drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The sources and dynamics of technological change in cassava farming in Ghana

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Chekhros Kilichova; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Ghana; cassava; technology adoption; agricultural transformation; farm size; agricultural extension service; Business and Economics;

    Sammanfattning : Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Estimation of flood risk and cost-effective mitigations : A case study in Tierp

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Anton Blomqvist; Stephanie The; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Flood risk assessment; EAD; CADSS; MIKE21;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is predicted to alter the rainfall patterns in the future, and extreme rain events with large rainfall volumes will become more frequent and intense which increases the flood risk. A clear trend can be seen, where more and more people decide to relocate from rural to urban areas. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Agricultural vulnerability to changing rainfall patterns: Assessing the role of smallholder farmers’ perceptions and access to weather forecast information in adaptation-decision making : case study of the North-Western provinces, Rwanda

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Didier Muyiramye; [2020]
    Nyckelord :vulnerability; perception; weather forecast information; changing rainfall patterns; heavy rainfalls; floods; smallholder farmers; adaptation;

    Sammanfattning : Adverse weather is currently among the crucial challenges facing agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa. With climate change and variability increasing, rainy seasons are becoming more and more unpredictable. Heavy rainfalls and severe flooding have increased, affecting smallholder farming and rural livelihoods considerably. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Klimatanpassning av Malmös framtida trädbestånd : en studie av tillämpade forskningsmetoder i syfte att utveckla klimatanpassningen av Malmös urbana trädbestånd

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Författare :Matilda Hellman; Maja Skog; [2020]
    Nyckelord :klimatanpassning; stadsträd; resiliens; klimatförändringar; urbana trädbestånd; Malmö;

    Sammanfattning : Klimatförändringar såsom den globala uppvärmningen påverkar och förändrar förutsättningarna för livet på jorden. Den naturliga distributionen av träd förändras i och med att mönster för temperatur och nederbörd skiftar, men även i urbana miljöer påverkas vegetationens situation. LÄS MER
