1. Exploring power dynamics in the water sector in Chile: a focus on avocado plantations and water resources in three municipalities
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : This thesis researches the power dynamics related to the intrinsic relationship between the expansion of avocado plantations and its effects on the water system in Chile's municipalities of Quillota, La Cruz, and La Calera. The study adopts a mixed methodology. LÄS MER
2. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). LÄS MER
3. How do stand composition and cervid densities influence the forest floor vegetation in a multi-cervid species context?
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : The cover of forest floor vascular plants has been decreasing in Sweden over recent decades. Cervid rely heavily on this vegetation for food. With this study, I showed that habitat type highly influences the quality and quantity of the forest floor vegetation. LÄS MER
4. Implementation of native tree species in Rwandan forest plantations : recommendations for a sustainable sector
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : The forest plantations in Rwanda have been dominated by monocultures of exotic species, primarily Eucalyptus and Pinus, for the last 100 years. This type of monoculture leaves the forests vulnerable to disturbances like pests and droughts, and has a negative impact on the species biodiversity in the Rwandan forests. LÄS MER
5. Exploring complex pathways in the climate change, vulnerability and conflict nexus in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och SamhällssäkerhetSammanfattning : The climate change and conflict nexus has been the focus of much debate and speculation in academic circles as well as public discourse. Much of the existing research has been undertaken by studies using quantitative methods, which intend to prove or disprove the existence of a causal relationship. LÄS MER
