1. Ecosystem Services and Disservices in an Agriculture–Forest Mosaic : A Study of Forest and Tree Management and Landscape Transformation in Southwestern Ethiopia
Sammanfattning : The intertwined challenges of food insecurity, deforestation, and biodiversity loss remain perennial challenges in Ethiopia, despite increasing policy interventions. This thesis investigates smallholding farmers’ tree- and forest-based livelihoods and management practices, in the context of national development and conservation policies, and examines how these local management practices and policies transform the agriculture–forest mosaic landscapes of southwestern Ethiopia.

2. Leguminous service crops in cereal production at high latitudes : provision of ecosystem services and disservices from a novel intercropping system
Sammanfattning : Service crops, crops grown to provide services such as soil protection, weed control, or nutrient capture and provision, can reduce the need for mineral fertilisers and intensive weed control. However, high biomass production is necessary in order for these services to be provided. This can be difficult to achieve at high latitudes (e.g. LÄS MER
3. Water level management of wetlands in response to current and future RCP climate change scenarios : A mesocosm experiment within climate control chambers
Sammanfattning : Wetlands are integral components of our natural environment since they provide many critical ecosystem services to humanity, such as water purification, climate change mitigation, flood control, and biodiversity. Although wetlands can convey resilience to some degree of changes, they might be vulnerable to climate change. LÄS MER
