  2. 1. Potential impact of climate change on European agriculture: a case study of potato and Colorado potato beetle

    Author : Bakhtiyor Pulatov; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Colorado potato beetle; climate change; day length; degree day model; frost damage; distribution; temperature; potato; regional climate model; synchrony;

    Abstract : European agriculture is facing the challenge of managing the impact of climate change on food security. Agriculture in a northern temperate climate is likely to benefit from higher temperature and longer growing season while, in the south, crop productivity is likely to decline. READ MORE

  4. 2. Metal accumulation by plants : evaluation of the use of plants in stormwater treatment

    Author : Åsa Fritioff; Maria Greger; Lena Kautsky; Bert Wolterbeek; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elodea canadensis; Potamogeton natans; uptake; translocation; distribution; toxicity; salinity; temperature; and leakage; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Metal contaminated stormwater, i.e. surface runoff in urban areas, can be treated in percolation systems, ponds, or wetlands to prevent the release of metals into receiving waters. Plants in such systems can, for example, attenuate water flow, bind sediment, and directly accumulate metals. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of microclimate for the performance and distribution of forest plants

    Author : C. Johan Dahlberg; Kristoffer Hylander; Johan Ehrlén; Jason D. Fridley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; performance; microclimate; spatial scales; continental; landscape; distribution patterns; distribution limits; phenology; vegetative development; reproductive development; vital rates; population growth rate; vascular plants; bryophytes; distribution modelling; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Abstract : Microclimatic gradients may have large influence on individual vital rates and population growth rates of species, and limit their distributions. Therefore, I focused on the influence of microclimate on individual performance and distribution of species. READ MORE

  6. 4. Low-temperature District Heating : Various Aspects of Fourth-generation Systems

    Author : Helge Averfalk; Sven Werner; Brian Elmegaard; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District heating; low temperature; three-pipe systems; 4GDH-3P; District heating; low temperature; three-pipe systems; 4GDH-3P;

    Abstract : With decreasing heat demand and less availability of high-temperature heat supply in future energy systems, the current district heating systems may experience increased competition on the heat market. A viable option to mitigate increasing competition is to operate systems with lower temperature levels, and the most conceivable way to achieve lower temperature levels is to decrease return temperatures.

  7. 5. Distribution and activity of pelagic fish - acoustic studies in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Tomas Didrikas; Sture Hansson; Thomas Mehner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pelagic; fish; hydroacoustic; distribution; activity; Baltic; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Fisheries agencies around the Baltic Sea use hydroacoustics to assess stock sizes of herring and sprat. These assessments rely on the assumption that the acoustic properties of Baltic clupeids are the same as North Sea herring. READ MORE
