    Sammanfattning : Land use change constitutes a primary driving force in shaping social-ecological systems world wide, and its effects reach far beyond the directly impacted areas. Graph based landscape ecological tools have become established as a promising way to efficiently explore and analyze the complex, spatial systems dynamics of ecological networks in physical landscapes.

  3. 2. Shaping urban environments through human selection for plant traits

    Författare :Julie Goodness; Erik Andersson; Thomas Elmqvist; Pippin M. L. Anderson; Sarel Cilliers; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cape Town; cities; ecosystem services; environmental management; functional traits; interdisciplinary; landscaping preferences; residential landscapes; social-ecological system; Stockholm; traits; urban ecology; Kapstaden; städer; kulturella ekosystemtjänster; ekosystemtjänster; miljöförvaltning; funktionella egenskaper; tvärvetenskaplig; anläggningspreferenser; bostadsmiljö; socialekologiska system; Stockholm; växtegenskaper; urban ekologi; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Cities, as home to the majority of the world’s people, are significant sites for addressing challenges of achieving sustainability and securing human wellbeing. Urban environments are complex social-ecological systems, and meeting these challenges requires better understandings of the interactions of social and ecological elements. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Atmospheric transport of persistent organic pollutants to aquatic ecosystems

    Författare :Cecilia Agrell; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Temperature; Latitude; Deposition; PCB; Baltic Sea; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The load of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is considered high in the Baltic ecosystem. The Baltic Sea spans over 12 latitudes and the regional differences in climate affect the behavior of POPs. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Smart Urban Metabolism : Toward a New Understanding of Causalities in Cities

    Författare :Hossein Shahrokni; Maria Malmström; Nils Brandt; Olga Kordas; David Lazarevic; Anthony Townsend; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; industrial ecology; urban metabolism; smart cities; big data; data science; Industriell ekologi; Industrial Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : For half a century, urban metabolism has been used to provide insights to support transitions to sustainable urban development (SUD). Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) has recently been recognized as a potential technology enabler to advance this transition. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Spatial complexity and fit between ecology and management : Making sense of patterns in fragmented landscapes

    Författare :Arvid Bergsten; Örjan Bodin; Emily Minor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Connectivity; Conservation; Dispersal; Ecological knowledge; Ecology; Forest; Fragmentation; Graph theory; Institutional fit; Landscape; Management; Metapopulation; Municipal ecologist; Network; Planning; Protected area; Scale mismatch; Social-Ecological; Urban; Wetland; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Sammanfattning : Avoiding the negative effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is especially challenging when also the management institutions are spatially and administratively distributed. This doctoral thesis introduces five case studies that investigate ecological, social and social-ecological relations in fragmented landscapes. LÄS MER
