  1. 11. Biodiversity Protection in an Aspiring Carbon-Neutral Society : A Legal Study on the Relationship between Renewable Energy and Biodiversity in a European Union Context

    Författare :Melina Malafry; Gabriel Michanek; Maria Pettersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Environmental law; nature protection; renewable energy; biodiversity protection; environmental impact assessment; Miljörätt; Environmental Law;

    Sammanfattning : There is a vision in the EU for a transition to a low carbon society, including a carbon-neutral energy system, containing a high share of renewable energy. However, this vision is not isolated from other political goals, such as halting the loss of biodiversity by 2020. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Brazilian public protection regulations and the preservation of ecosystem services and biodiversity

    Författare :Flavio L. M. Freitas; Ulla Mörtberg; Jan Börner; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Brazil; Native vegetation; forest conservation; Brazilian Forest Act; Protected areas; Ecosystem services; Biodiversity; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Brazil is significant for sustaining ecosystems services and biodiversity of global importance. However, the expansion of forestry and agriculture to supply national and international markets often results in loss of ecosystem services and biodiversity. Public protection regulations play a crucial role in setting limits for agricultural expansion. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Spatial prediction tools for biodiversity in environmental assessment

    Författare :Mikael Gontier; Berit Balfors; Ulla Mörtberg; Davide Geneletti; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EIA; SEA; Species distribution modelling; Habitat suitability modelling; Impact prediction; GIS; Urbanisation; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Human activities in the form of land use changes, urbanisation and infrastructure developments are major threats to biodiversity. The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats are great obstacles for the long term preservation of biodiversity and nature protection measures alone may not be sufficient to tackle the problem.

  5. 14. Effects of Past and Current Land Use on Biodiversity: from a semi-natural grassland on Öland (Sweden) to a European perspective

    Författare :Marie Vandewalle; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ecosystem services; bioindicators; land-use history; Biodiversity; semi-natural grasslands conservation; habitat fragmentation; functional diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Concerns are increasing about the loss of biodiversity under land use change and how this will affect the ecosystem services provided by natural and semi-natural communities and consequently how this will threaten human well-being. The thesis examines the impact of present and past land use on different aspects of biodiversity; namely species diversity, traits and functional diversity and on ecosystem services. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Rättsligt skydd av biologisk mångfald : etiska perspektiv och normkonflikter

    Författare :Caroline Gardelli; Maria Pettersson; Lars Bäckström; Henrik Josefsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; miljörätt; miljöetik; biologisk mångfald; invasiva främmande arter; försiktighetsprincipen; normkonflikt; Law; Rättsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : En förutsättning för att vi ska uppnå en hållbar utveckling är att vi bevarar den biologiska mångfalden, vilken bland annat hotas av införsel och spridning av invasiva främmande arter. Ett viktigt instrument för att skydda den biologiska mångfalden utgörs av de rättsliga ramar som satts upp på internationell, EU- och nationell nivå. LÄS MER
