1. 1. Land Use, Freshwater Flows and Ecosystem Services in an Era of Global Change

   Författare :Line Gordon; Carl Folke; David Molden; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; freshwater; green water; ecosystem services; integrated water resources management; food production; land use and land cover change; vulnerability; resilience; hydrological cycle; global change; Australia; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to analyse interactions between freshwater flows, terrestrial ecosystems and human well-being. Freshwater management and policy has mainly focused on the liquid water part (surface and ground water run off) of the hydrological cycle including aquatic ecosystems. LÄS MER

3. 2. Traps and transformations : Exploring the potential of water system innovations in dryland sub-Saharan Africa

   Författare :Elin Enfors; Line Gordon; Christian Valentin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :smallholder farming; water system innovations; agricultural droughts; multi-functional landscapes; development trajectories; uncertainty; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Sammanfattning : In semi-arid and dry sub-humid sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), high poverty levels and a heavy reliance on small-scale rainfed agriculture make rural livelihoods difficult. Upgrading current farming systems, in a way that safeguards productivity beyond field-scale, is urgent. LÄS MER

4. 3. Shaping sustainable food systems : Local participation in addressing global challenges

   Författare :Aniek Hebinck; Line Gordon; Joost M. Vervoort; Stephan Barthel; Moya Kneafsey; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; food systems; sustainability; food governance; transformative change; participatory processes; participation; civil society; niche level; food policy; urban food; urban agriculture; food poverty; imagined futures; foresight; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : The current unsustainable trajectory of food systems puts the social and ecological processes and functions on which human flourishing depends at risk. This last decade has seen, on one hand, continued insistence on transformative action and on the other, uncertainty and instability with respect to traditional, established institutions, such as the state.

5. 4. Probing the Precipitationshed : A quantification of the biophysical dimensions of terrestrial moisture recycling

   Författare :Patrick W. Keys; Line Gordon; Steve Lyon; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; moisture recycling; precipitation; evaporation; variability; ecosystem services; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Sammanfattning : Terrestrial moisture recycling is the phenomena whereby water evaporates from the land surface, travels through the atmosphere, and fall as precipitation downwind. The interaction of societies with this branch of the hydrological cycle, though critical to the productive functioning of ecosystems around the planet, remains poorly understood. LÄS MER

7. 5. The Precipitationshed : Concepts, Methods, and Applications

   Författare :Patrick W. Keys; Line Gordon; Deliang Chen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water; atmosphere; precipitationshed; moisture recycling; variability; ecosystem services; social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Human societies are reliant on the functioning of the hydrologic cycle. The atmospheric branch of this cycle, often referred to as moisture recycling in the context of land-to-land exchange, refers to water evaporating, traveling through the atmosphere, and falling out as precipitation.
