With growing tourism in natural areas, monitoring recreational impacts is becoming increasingly important. This paper aims to evaluate how di_erent trampling intensities a_ect some common Icelandic plant communities by using digital photographs to analyze and quantify vegetation in experimental plots and to monitor vegetation recovery rates over a consecutive three-year period. Additionally, it se

Although the moth fauna of South Sweden is relatively well known, information about the habitat preferences of species is scarce. To fill this gap and document the relative richness and conservation value of different habitats, 32,683 moth were caught in light traps at >200 sites in Central Skåne (prov. Scania). The relative frequency of species, major taxonomic groups and species with different f

Wood density is a crucial anatomical trait influencing forest carbon storage. However, dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) typically assume a fixed species-level wood density, neglecting environment-driven variability. In this proof-of-concept study, we explore the potential impact of dynamic wood density on tree- and forest-level carbon storage by integrating a simple temperature-response fu

Sweden’s grocery distribution is routed through a limited number of upstream hubs and relies on corridors and ferry links. When disruptions affect a hub or a critical link, reallocations propagate fast and travel times increase, with some areas losing coverage temporarily. Decentralising the whole system is costly, so targeted resilience options must be evaluated. The purpose of this thesis is to

Dikade skogsmarker skapar stora växthusgasutsläpp - är återvätning en lösning? Skogen tar upp väsentliga mängder koldioxid vilket spelar en betydande roll för att mildra den pågående globala uppvärmningen. Dock har det visat sig att vissa skogsmarker kan ge upphov till stora växthusgasutsläpp - det finns ungefär 1 miljon hektar skogsmark på dikade torvmarker i Sverige som släpper ut 7-10 miljonePeatlands store substantial amounts of carbon. When drainage of these areas occurs in order to use for practices such as forestry, greenhouse gases (GHG) will be emitted which will enhance climate change. The aim of this study was to explore whether rewetting of drained forest covered peatlands can reduce its impact on climate and which conflicts with forestry this can lead to. As a case study, th

I detta arbete har befintliga samarbeten mellan företag i Helsingborg kartlagts. Potential för att utveckla ytterligare samarbeten genom affärsmodellen industriell symbios har analyserats. Industriell symbios innebär att verksamheter, varav minst en industri, gemensamt utnyttjar energi, nyttigheter, material eller service, för att på ett innovativt sätt skapa mervärden samt minska kostnader och miIn this work the existing collaborations between companies in Helsingborg has been identified. The potential to further develop collaborations of industrial symbiosis and the region has been analysed. Industrial symbiosis means that synergies, including at least one industry, who in common use energy, goods, materials or services in an innovative way create added value and reduce costs and environ

Har du någonsin funderat på vad något är värt för dig? När du går i affären har du kanske jämfört kilopriser på olika livsmedel, visst är det hjälpsamt att kunna jämföra vilket som är ett bättre val för dig. Detta är vad en miljöekonomisk analys försöker göra med två olika skogsbruksmetoder. I den här kostnadsnyttoanalysen så jämförs hyggesfritt skogsbruk med det vanligare systemet, trakthyggesbruForests and forest products are important, not just for timber production, the forest ecosystem plays several important roles, such as water purification, carbon sequestration for climate mitigation and recreational values. How the forests are managed varies throughout the globe, in Sweden the most used system is the clearcutting system (CF), however continuous cover forestry (CCF) is gaining popu

This Master's thesis in Sustainable Urban Design investigates the critical transformation of urban peripheral areas. Framed by the concept of "Alchemy of the Edge," it focuses on Westraven, Utrecht—a historically industrial and fragmented site. The project explores how design can facilitate Westraven's "Genesis as a Vibrant Decentralized Node," contributing to a more re

This study critically examines how nature is mobilized in the urban planning discourse of Västra Hamnen, Malmö, and explores the implications for justice and the distribution of green infrastructure. Combining Urban Political Ecology (UPE) with Nesbitt et al.’s (2018) framework on Urban Green Equity, the analysis integrates thematic readings of planning documents, site observations, and an informa

Accidents always get a lot of public attention. Journalists appear at the site of an accident, taking pictures and making interviews with professionals and eyewitnesses. With the emergence of smartphones, online-media, and social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. everyone became a journalist. It is no longer only accidents catching public attention but also near misses, sm

This thesis was developed in partnership with SCM Group, a leading Italian manufacturer of material-cutting machinery operating an extensive international network of production sites and clients. Because of the magnitude of its operations, SCM’s technical support teams manage a large volume of support tickets-records submitted by clients on a daily bases: structured reports documenting machine fai

In this bachelor's thesis, we examine how consumers use masstige brands in their identity construction. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how consumers interact with masstige brands and how these interactions are used to express an identity associated with luxury. Through a qualitative approach, we conducted semi-structured interviews as well as go-along observations to gain insight
