  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

  3. 2. INVESTIGATING THE COVARIANCE BETWEEN RAINFALL AND MALE ELEPHANT MOVEMENT - To Reduce Human-Elephant Conflict

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Sara Ros; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :Loxodonta africana; Elephants; Botswana; Human-Elephant Conflict; HEC; HumanWildlife Conflict; HWC; Conservation; Musth; Bulls; Rainfall;

    Sammanfattning : Human-wildlife conflict threatens the survival of a range of species, including the savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana). Villages bordering the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park in Botswana are among the most affected by human-elephant conflict, and it is crucial to identify contributing factors to develop mitigation strategies.

  4. 3. Soil compaction and the effect on infiltration in urban green environments : A study based on field measurements and HYDRUS 1D modelling

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå,

    Författare :Anastasia Novikova; [2023]
    Nyckelord :HYDRUS; surface runoff; soil compaction; urban environments;

    Sammanfattning : The consequences of recent flooding and extreme rain events have highlighted the importance of proper urban planning and preventative measures for storm water management. As cities become more urbanized the significance of permeable surfaces such as parks and other urban green spaces increases which infiltrate the water into the ground. LÄS MER

  5. 4. ROOFTOP GREENHOUSES: Comparison between Farm builder and IDA ICE energy simulation software

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Författare :Jean Claude Cyubahiro; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Rooftop greenhouses; Farm builder; IDA ICE; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid global urbanization is a major concern for the food production system, as it is recognized that relying on conventional methods of distant large-scale farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is rooftop greenhouses (RTG), which are greenhouses built on unoccupied rooftops. LÄS MER

  7. 5. 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.
