Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot

Horisonter med subfossila stubbar och rötter av tall (Pinus sylvestris) är vanliga i stratigra-fier från torvmarker i norra Europa. Dessa är tydliga indikationer på att det under holocen funnits perioder med tillräckligt gynnsamma förhållanden för tallar att växa på mossar. Tall kan endast växa på mossar när ytan är tillräckligt torr, och därför är rester av tallar på mossar goda indikationer på eHorizons rich in subfossil stumps and roots of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) are frequently found in stratigraphies of northern European peatlands, providing clear evidence of Holocene periods with favourable conditions for bog-pine growth. The pines could only grow when bog-surface wetness was sufficiently low, and the presence of their remains is therefore a good indicator of past climatic condi

Abstract Rivers deliver substantial amounts of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to estuaries, but the effects of these inputs on the ecosystem depend on the degree to which the nutrients are bioavailable. The nutrient bioavailability is poorly known in northern regions of Scandinavia where most of the nutrients are organic. To simplify the measurements of nutrient bioavailability and

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De skånska bokskogarna. Vad kan krypen säga? Det är mycket som påverkar våra skogar i dag. Vägar som delar upp dem i mindre delar och lantbruk och kvävenedfall som stör balansen för vad som ska växa i skogens utkanter med sin gödsling. Även trafiken påverkar genom att kväveoxiderna i avgaserna har en gödande effekt. Skogens hälsa påverkas självklart av detta, Abstract Deforestation, fragmentation and loss of biodiversity, all are elements that are common today. With this project I want to evaluate if there is a difference in functional diversity of evertebrates between beech stands of low herb and shrub type beech forest. I also want to test if there is a difference within tested areas between low herb and shrub type forests, but also if here is a dif

Education is considered to be one of the most important tools for enabling the transition to a sustainable society, and it is commonly agreed that education for sustainable development (ESD) should be pluralistic, democratic and promote critical thinking. However, there are indications that education might be dominated by green consumerist approaches to solving environmental problems. If this is t

Popular science The carbon balance of the forest ecosystems is determined by the uptake and release of carbon. Forests take up carbon dioxide (CO2) by photosynthesis and release by respiration. One part of the assimilated carbon is respired back to the atmosphere by vegetation. The other part is respired by soil microbes which decompose organic material in soil. The microbial respiration is contro

There are many energy contracting models being used on the energy service market today. They havedifferent approaches to energy efficiency and they can also work differently on different markets. Thisthesis looks deeper into a number of energy contracting models and assesses how they function as wellas looking into their strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, these contracting models will be analy

Mosasaurier är en grupp utdöda, havslevande ödlor som fanns under den senare delen av krittiden (dvs. för 98–66 miljoner år sedan). Mosasaurierna var uteslutande rovdjur och medlemmar av gruppen var utrustade med kraftfulla käkar och tänder. Under sin levnad bytte djuren kontinuerligt sina tänder för att på så sätt kunna ha ett funktionellt bett. Det finns tre huvudsakliga typer av tandmorfologierMosasaurs are an extinct group of aquatically adapted lizards that became the dominant marine tetrapods during the latter half of the Cretaceous. Mosasaurs continuously shed and replaced their teeth to maintain a functional dentition. The shape of the crowns also provides a good indication of dietary habits, where a slender shape indicates teeth adapted for cutting or piercing, whereas a more blun

Mikroskopiska echinodermfossil har undersökts ur prover från täljstensintervallet och intillig-gande delar av ’lanna’- och ’holenkalkstenen’ i Hällekis stenbrott, Västergötland. Den undersökta sektionen är från översta volkhov och mellersta kunda, darriwilian (mellanordovicium). Tidigare studier har konkluderat att en regression/transgression skedde under den undersökta perioden, vilket bekräftas
