Compound hazards of climate change, forestry, and other encroachments on winter pasturelands: a storyline approach in a forest reindeer herding community in Northern Sweden

The impacts of climate change on rural cultures and livelihoods depend on how the resulting complex biophysical processes may transform people’s land use practices. We argue that research can incorporate local concerns of compound hazards through deterministic rather than probabilistic approaches to better understand the multiple causations involved in such climate change impacts. We apply mixed

Stepfamily formation and the educational outcomes of children in Sweden

ObjectiveWe examine the impact of stepfamily exposure on the educational outcomes of children, considering factors such as age at stepfamily formation, gender of the stepparent, presence of step/half-siblings, and the stepparent's socioeconomic resources.BackgroundThe prevalence of stepfamilies across the Global North highlights the urgency of the issue. Despite a sizeable existing empirical liter

Methane Producing and Oxidizing Microorganisms Display a High Resilience to Drought in a Swedish Hemi-Boreal Mire

An increased frequency of droughts due to anthropogenic climate change can lead to considerable stress for soil microorganisms and their functioning within northern peatlands. A better understanding of the diversity and relative abundance of methane producing and oxidizing taxa, and their functional genes, can help predict the functional potential of peatlands and how the microorganisms respond to

Adopting Space Sufficiency Interventions as a Means for Accelerating Energy Renovation : Swedish Homeowners' Perspective

Residential energy consumption remains a significant driver of CO2 emissions in European buildings, demanding urgent action in the face of the climate crisis. While prevailing efforts have predominantly concentrated on enhancing energy efficiency and integrating renewable sources, addressing the climate urgency and resource constraints necessitates a paradigm shift towards sufficiency principles.

Hydrophysical processes governing brownification : A case study of Lake Bolmen, Sweden

Access to water of good quality and quantity has become more challenging because of a changing climate, as well as an increase in the use of natural resources, which has lead to altered water chemistry. One of these changes is known as brownification, resulting from a higher organic matter content causing a yellow-brown color of surface waters. Brownification has a manifold of side effects for the

Between Growth and Sustainability : Exploring the Construction of Sustainable Mobility in Swedish Transport Policy

Samtidigt som bilen är själva grunden för det sätt vi förflyttar oss i samhället, utgör bilismen den främsta orsaken till transportsektorns negativa miljö- och hälsoeffekter. Denna avhandling handlar om politiska försök att gå bortom bilen, mot en mer hållbar form av mobilitet. Hållbar mobilitet eller hållbara transporter, som är den mer använda termen i Sverige, har de senaste decennierna kommit Transport policies in Western Europe are increasingly framed in terms of sustainable mobility. This is a response to an urgent need to tackle adverse consequences of the transport system and implies changes in discourses related to transport. Exploring sustainable mobility is a fruitful way of studying discursive development in a policy field historically connected to priorities radically differen
