  1. 6. Forest Development and Interactions with Large Herbivores

    Författare :Christer Kalén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtekologi; Plant ecology; modelling; preferences; browsing; deer; forestry; succession;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses aspects of feeding habits of moose (Alces alces) and their impact on forest development. The development of forage that is available to moose was studied by sampling the amount of edible biomass on pine and birch trees. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Geo-environmental considerations in transport infrastructure planning

    Författare :Caroline Karlsson; Bo Olofsson; Ulla Mörtberg; Joanne Robison Fernlund; João Manuel Coutinho Rodrigues; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Roads; Railways; Geology; GIS; Decision support; Modelling; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Transport infrastructure constitutes one of the key factors to a country’s economic growth. Investment in new transport infrastructure might cause potential environmental impacts, and if a project has several alternative corridors open for suggestion then each alternative corridor will have a different impact on the environment.

  4. 8. Spatial Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation

    Författare :André Pinto da Silva; Mats Bjõrklund; Greta Bocedi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global change; Southern Asia; mammals; ecological modelling; Biology with specialization in Animal Conservation; Biologi med inriktning mot zoologisk bevarandebiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is being lost under alarming rates due to an unsustainable socio-economic trajectory causing global change. Such loss is unequally spread over the Earth, and Southern Asia has been and is projected to continue to be one of the most affected regions. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Analysis of the impact of anthropogenic pollution on shallow groundwater in peri-urban Kampala

    Författare :Robinah Kulabako; Roger Thunvik; Mai Nalubega; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shallow groundwater; Sanitation; Peri-urban; Vadose zone; Anthropogenic; Modelling; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : An investigation to assess the anthropogenic pollutant loads, transport and impact on shallow groundwater in one of Kampala’s peri-urban areas (Bwaise III Parish) was undertaken. Bwaise III is a densely populated informal settlement with a high water table (... LÄS MER

  7. 10. Life History Strategies in Linnaea borealis

    Författare :Mikael Niva; Brita M. Svensson; P. Staffan Karlsson; Ørjan Totland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Linnaea borealis; apex removal; apical dominance; clonal plant; hand pollination; matrix modelling; plant foraging; resorption efficiency; resorption proficiency; resource heterogeneity; shoot dynamics; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Sammanfattning : About 70% of the plant species in the temperate zone are characterised by clonal growth, clonal species are also in majority in the Arctic and Subarctic where they affect the structure and composition of the vegetation. It is therefore of great importance to increase our knowledge about clonal plants and their growth and life histories. LÄS MER
