21. Intramolecular isotope analysis reveals plant ecophysiological signals covering multiple timescales
Sammanfattning : Our societies' wellbeing relies on stable and healthy environments. However, our current lifestyles, growth-oriented economic policies and the population explosion are leading to potentially catastrophic degradation of ecosystems and progressive disruption of food chains. LÄS MER
22. Advancing the Implementation of Protective Measures for Drinking Water Sources in Sweden
Sammanfattning : The world’s drinking water sources are under growing pressure due to human activities, including infrastructure projects, agriculture, climate change, and the ever-increasing need for freshwater. Although there is a strong call to protect our source waters instead of increasing treatment efficiency at the drinking water treatment plant, the extent of protection measures is often hotly debated.

23. Surface energy exchange and land-atmosphere interactions of Arctic and subarctic tundra ecosystems under climate change
Sammanfattning : The surface energy balance determines the functioning of any ecosystem on the Earth but is still poorly understood in Arctic and subarctic biomes. In a dynamic system, such as the Earth’s climate, any change in its characteristics modifies the exchange of energy, water, and greenhouse gases between the surface and the atmosphere. LÄS MER
24. Patterns of small-scale coastal fisheries and local fisheries management in Tanzania : adaptation to a changing climate
Sammanfattning : Coastal habitats like mangroves, seagrass meadows, coral reefs, and adjacent offshore waters constitute an important part of the tropical coastal seascape. They provide conducive environmental conditions for fish and other marine animals, which serve as food and income for coastal communities around the world. LÄS MER
25. Hopeful monsters: The role of hybrids in adaptation : The impact of hybridisation and genetic diversity on adaptation to stressful and novel environments
Sammanfattning : Adaptation to novel environments can only occur if natural selection has the raw material to act upon. But small, endangered populations are often genetically depleted, and the acquisition of beneficial de novo mutations often takes too long when population face quick and extreme environmental change.
