1. 1. Ecosystem services from woody vegetation in East African rangelands

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Författare :Anna Linnéa Elisabeth Swärd; [2023]
   Nyckelord :dryland ecosystems; rangelands; rangelands; woody vegetation; restoration; Karamoja; West Pokot; pastoralists; agro-pastoralists; East Africa;

   Sammanfattning : Drylands cover nearly half of the Earth's land surface and are dominated by croplands and rangelands. Dryland ecosystems worldwide are affected by land degradation. Increased population pressure, climate change and unsustainable land use threaten essential ecosystem services and adversely impact people’s livelihoods and well-being. LÄS MER

3. 2. 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 ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Sanjina Rahi Oishee; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Climate Change; Agriculture; Temperature; Precipitation; Water Scarcity; Agro-Climatic Zone; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : 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.

   Nyckelord :Tattaguine; Senegal; WCIS use; Livelihood assets; Innovation adoption; Traditional forecasting systems; Gender; Gender norms; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : This research investigates how Weather and Climate Information Services (WCIS) have been used by farmers in the Tattaguine district of Senegal, where rainfed agriculture faces challenges due to increasing climate variability. The study employed qualitative methods, including structured interviews, key informant interviews, and a focus group discussion. LÄS MER

5. 4. Centennial Climate Variability

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Författare :Thomas Askjær; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Climate variability; paleoclimate; climatemodelsimulations; proxyrecords; spectralanalysis; model proxycomparison;

   Sammanfattning : Throughout earths history, the climate have always naturally varied due to both external forcings and internal mechanisms. With the outlook on future climate change, it is important to understand the climate system and this includes its natural variability. Depending on the driving mechanisms, the variability happens over different timescales. LÄS MER

7. 5. Connecting local stakeholder experiences with wetland policy in Sweden: Drivers, barriers, and success parameters

   Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Alice Davies; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Sustainable Development; Survey design; Wetland measures; Policy instruments; Nature-based solutions; Swedens environmental objectives;

   Sammanfattning : To remedy the negative effects of wetland drainage activities that took place in Sweden during the 1800s, measures to create, restore and recreate wetlands have gained increased attention as nature-based solutions. While wetlands provide cost-effective long-term solutions and co-benefits that help achieve national and international environmental objectives, targets relating to wetland measures have fallen short.
