2. 1. How elephants utilize a miombo-wetland ecosystem in Ugalla landscape, Western Tanzania

   Author : Elikana Kalumanga; Sara Cousins; Steve Lyon; Jan Bengtsson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biodiversity; Browsing; Elephants; Forage; GPS collars; Mineral elements; Miombo woodlands; Protected areas; Termite mounds; Ugalla; Water hyacinth; Woody plants abundance; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : African elephants are ‘keystone’ species with respect to biodiversity conservation in Africa since they maintain habitats that support several animal communities by changing vegetation structure through foraging and by dispersing seeds between landscapes. Elephants are also ‘flagship’ species because, given their impressive size, they can make people sympathetic and stimulate local and international concerns for their protection. READ MORE

4. 2. Changing Landscapes and Persistent Places : An Exploration of the Bjäre Peninsula

   Author : Jenny Nord; Arkeologi; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; European landscape convention; Bronze Age landscape; landscape archaeology; historic landscape characterisation; place and space; landscape memories; rock-carvings; cupmarks; mortuary monuments; burial mounds; burial cairns; stonesettings; communication; chronology; management issues; cultural biography; intangible values; long term stability; long term change;

   Abstract : Changing Landscapes and Persistent Places is a study of the cultural landscape on the Bjäre peninsula in northwest Skåne. The many Bronze Age remains that give the landscape its distinctive character are the starting point for an attempt to increase our understanding of the historical depth of today’s landscape.

5. 3. A geophysical investigation of carbonate build-ups in the Baltic Basin using reflection seismic and well data

   Author : Tegan Levendal; Christopher Juhlin; Lars Nielsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reflection seismic; Ordovician; Silurian; Carbonate mud mounds; Reefs; Gotland; Sweden; CAES; Seismic interpretation; OPAB dataset; 3D seismic; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

   Abstract : During the Late Ordovician, the region around Gotland was part of a shallow epicratonic basin in the southern subtropics. Low latitudes, relatively warm sea temperatures and the presence of a shallow marine environment promoted algae to flourish and diverse carbonate build-ups such as carbonate mounds and reefs developed on the southern margin of Baltica.

6. 4. Adapting Scots pine Regeneration to the Changing Climate : An investigation of the effects of seed coating, arginine addition, and planting position

   Author : Matej Domevscik; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : In Sweden, new forest stands have long been artificially regenerated using conifer seedlings. While standardized and widely adopted, this approach may need to be further adapted to the predicted increases in variations in the weather, such as extended periods of drought. READ MORE

7. 5. Integrated geophysical-geochemical methods for archaeological prospecting

   Author : Kjell Persson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; geophysical; geochemical; prospecting; archaeology; electric; magnetometric; Geofysik; Geophysics; Geofysik;

   Abstract : A great number of field measurements with different methods and instruments were conducted in attempts to develop a method for an optimal combination of various geochemical and geophysical methods in archaeological prospecting. The research presented in this thesis focuses on a study of how different anthropogenic changes in the ground can be detected by geochemical and geophysical mapping and how the results can be presented.
