2. Pollinators and Insect Pollination in Changing Agricultural Landscapes
University dissertation from Lund University, Faculty of Science, Centre for Environmental and Climate ResearchAbstract : Agricultural intensification and associated loss of semi-natural grasslands, has resulted in reduced landscape heterogeneity. A concomitant loss of forage and nest sites for pollinating insects has driven declines across several pollinator taxa. READ MORE

5. Dynamic modelling of the forest ecosystem: Incorporation of the phosphorus cycle
University dissertation from Lund University, Faculty of Science, Center for Environmental and Climate ResearchAbstract : The forest ecosystem provides and regulates many important ecosystem services, such as soil and water protection, timber production, and climate regulation. It has been influenced by changes induced by humans, for example, our increasing demand for timber and bioenergy, the increase in nitrogen (N) deposition and CO2 concentrations due to industrialization, and climate change which has caused an increase in global temperature and extreme events such as storms.
