  2. 1. Arctic Water System Change and its Interactions with Permafrost and Ecosystem Changes

    Author : Johanna Mård Karlsson; Georgia Destouni; Daqing Yang; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic; climate change; monitoring; ecosystem shifts; hydrology; hydro-climatic change; permafrost; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : Climate change and various changes in the landscape itself, such as permafrost thaw, may trigger and mediate substantial changes in the inland water system of the Arctic. Many climate change responses in the Arctic landscape and ecosystems are then related to alterations in the hydrological system. READ MORE

  4. 2. Digitalization, sustainability, and ecosystems : An application of social network analysis to the real estate sector

    Author : Olli Vigren; Kent Eriksson; Paavo Ritala; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; absorptive capacity; built environment; business development; business ecosystem; dynamic capabilities; digitalization; entrepreneurial ecosystem; facility management; Formal Concept Analysis; innovation ecosystem; literature review; methodology; platform ecosystem; property technology; real estate; research methods; Social Network Analysis; sustainability; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Abstract : Societies today have increasing economic, social, and environmental needs for their built environments. The performance of the built environment depends largely on urban development, with the role of digital technologies therein being a long-standing research topic. READ MORE

  5. 3. Function follows Form : Trait-based approaches to climate change effects on wetland vegetation and functioning

    Author : Helen Moor; Jon Norberg; Andrew Gonzalez; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Functional traits; Plant community ecology; Trait distributions; Wetlands; Ecosystem functioning; Ecosystem Services; Climate change; Dispersal; Metacommunity modelling; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : Climate change and habitat fragmentation are altering the structure and functioning of plant communities world-wide. Understanding how, why and with what consequences are major challenges of ecology today. Trait-based approaches focus on functional rather than taxonomic identity to facilitate process-based explanation and prediction. READ MORE

  6. 4. Land Use, Freshwater Flows and Ecosystem Services in an Era of Global Change

    Author : Line Gordon; Carl Folke; David Molden; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; freshwater; green water; ecosystem services; integrated water resources management; food production; land use and land cover change; vulnerability; resilience; hydrological cycle; global change; Australia; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to analyse interactions between freshwater flows, terrestrial ecosystems and human well-being. Freshwater management and policy has mainly focused on the liquid water part (surface and ground water run off) of the hydrological cycle including aquatic ecosystems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Swedish seagrass ecosystems in a changing climate : Coastal connectivity and global change sensitivity

    Author : Diana Perry; Martin Gullström; Jason Hall-Spencer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coastal seascape; shallow-water ecosystems; fish assemblages; connectivity; global change; climate change; multiple stressors; seagrass; Zostera marina; temperate region; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Coastal shallow-water ecosystems are essential for providing several goods and services globally, with seagrasses as an important contributor for maintaining high biodiversity and productivity within the nearshore seascape. The temperate species Zostera marina serves as a vital habitat for many species, including ecologically and economically important juvenile fish. READ MORE
