With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities.

Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. This was done in the specific case of policy prom
Bumblebee abundance and diversity have been declining in the last few decades. Habitat change, mainly due to intensified agricultural practices, has been pointed out as the main driver in this process. Being central place foragers bumblebees are highly dependent on the landscape surrounding the nest and the resources available there. According to the optimal foraging theory bumblebee individuals i
Long-distance bird migrants face three main constraints: time, energy, and predation risk during migration. As a result, their migratory strategies may be altered. Since migratory birds spend most of their time refueling during migration, they are particularly vulnerable to predation risk at stopover sites. The trade-off between energy intake and predation risk is widely acknowledged. However, the
