Amazonian ecosystems range from rainforest to open dryland vegetation, with a following decrease in biomass along the moisture gradient. Biomass can vary greatly at the ecological transition zone between grass dominated savannahs and the forest. It is not well understood if the transition zone could expand under climate change, and thereby reduce ecosystem stability and carbon storage in biomass.

Urban tourism depends on the place specific qualities of destinations. In many cities, climate change poses a threat to these qualities, through increasing risk of excessive heat, draught and flooding. Cities need to adapt to reduce these risks. One way of doing this is to improve their green infrastructure. Urban forests, parks, rivers and wetlands may help reduce the effects of climate change in

In this paper we construct a hierarchical model for spatial compositional data which is used to reconstruct past land-cover compositions (in terms of coniferous forest, broadleaved forest, and unforested/open land) for five time periods during the past 6000 years over Europe. The model consists of a Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF) with Dirichlet observations. A block updated Markov chain Monte

Identifying key molecular pathways and genes involved in the response to urban pollutants is an important step in furthering our understanding of the impact of urbanisation on wildlife. The expansion of urban habitats and the associated human-introduced environmental changes are considered a global threat to the health and persistence of humans and wildlife. The present study experimentally invest

The important role of fire in regulating vegetation community composition and contributions to emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols make it a critical component of dynamic global vegetation models and Earth system models. Over two decades of development, a wide variety of model structures and mechanisms have been designed and incorporated into global fire models, which have been linked to di

roduction of biomass for bioenergy on marginal land has been promoted to decrease the use of non-renewable energy without competing with food production. Previous estimates of marginal land and abandoned farmland in Sweden available for bioenergy production are based on general statistics and assumptions but lack in-depth analyses of potential alternative land-use values. Easily accessible public

Hydrological modelling is essential for effective water resources management, as it represents complex physical processes through mathematical equations to improve our understanding of the water cycle. FLEXG is a glacio-hydrological model that has been successfully applied and found to perform well in glacierized regions. This study seeks to improve the capability of classical FLEXG model for glac

The concentration of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in lakes is strongly influenced by climate, land cover, and topographic settings, but it is not known how drought may affect the relative importance of these controls. Here, we evaluate the controls of CDOM during two summers with strongly contrasting values of the Palmer drought index (PDI), indicating wet vs. dry conditions. We hypothe

Recent droughts from 2017 to 2020 induced significant stress on woodland canopies across eastern Australia, resulting in widespread tree browning and mortality. However, the trajectory of post-drought recovery remains unclear, with uncertainty about whether canopy conditions are improving or continuing to decline. Identifying the key local environmental and climatic factors influencing drought-ind

Sensory traits shape animal lifestyles due to the central role they play in retrieving and processing environmental information. However, being some of the most energetically expensive tissues to build and maintain, ecological demands often modulate investment in these organs. Evidence that ecology shapes the evolution of sensory traits is plenty but is heavily biased towards vertebrates and has o

Carbon sequestration in arable soils is gaining increasing attention in global policymaking initiatives for climate-change mitigation. Large-scale assessments of soil organic carbon development in arable land are affected by the scarcity of reliable time series of soil organic carbon monitoring data and often fail to replicate observed trends or appreciate any effects induced by changes in soil ma

Many construction companies have a construction service department but it is normally never the largest part of the company. Rather, the building services department has been seen as a fender to keep employees engaged when the economy’s been bad, with the result that no large investments have been put towards the service department. The logistics of the construction services business is different

Methods and equipment used for fighting forest fires are different from the ones used in urban fires. Generally, the wildfires are intense, require more resources and tend to spread rapidly. The effectiveness of different suppression techniques is difficult to evaluate since they depend on terrain, weather conditions and other varying factors over time and space. The current study focuses on the s

Enligt 51 § lagen (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL) har domstol rätt att förbjuda offentliga återgivanden av litterära eller konstnärliga verk som kränker den andliga odlingens intressen. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vilka ageranden som omfattas av det så kallade klassikerskyddet, hur regeln har utvecklats sedan lagen infördes, samt till att problematiseraAccording to § 51 of the Swedish Copyright Act, the court has the authority to prohibit any public renditions of literary or artistic works that offends the interests of spiritual cultivation. This thesis aims to examine which actions are comprised by this so called ’protection of classics’, how the rule has de-veloped since its establishment, and it problematizes the rule’s function in the cultur

As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. The challenges of implementing these ideas have triggered efforts to make cities smarter, for example, by using 3D city models for solar energ
