Residents of the Sahel depend on livestock, but harsh environmental conditions during the dry season limit rangeland forage, which is the main source of livestock feed. Al-though operational tools exist for assessing and monitoring forage quantity during the dry season, assessments of forage quality are lacking. We addressed this gap by developing satellite-based monitoring of forage quality acros

High latitude mires are key ecosystems in the context of climate change since they store large amounts of carbon while constituting an important natural source of methane (CH4). However, while a growing number of studies have investigated methane fluxes (FCH4) at the plot- (~1 m2) and ecosystem-scale (~0.1–0.5 km2) across the boreal biome, variations of FCH4 magnitudes and drivers at the mesoscale

Vegetation optical depth (VOD) from satellite passive microwave sensors has enabled monitoring of aboveground biomass carbon dynamics by building a relationship with static carbon maps over space and then applying this relationship to VOD time series. However, uncertainty in this relationship arises from changes in water stress, as VOD is mainly determined by vegetation water content, which varies

Tourism enterprises play a vital role in tourism development. This has inspired scholarly and policy interest in the workings of tourism enterprises, particularly the small enterprises that account for the majority. The heterogeneity of small enterprises presents challenging terrain for scholars and policymakers concerned to understand and manage enterprise development and tourism development. Sch

Authors rely on a range of devices and techniques to attract and maintain the interest of readers, and to convince them of the merits of the author’s point of view. However, when writing a scientific article, authors must use these ‘persuasive communication devices’ carefully. In particular, they must be explicit about the limitations of their work, avoid obfuscation, and resist the temptation to

Mangrove plantations are crucial for carbon sequestration in global climate change mitigation efforts. However, the dynamics and partitioning of carbon stocks in the soil vegetation system in mangrove plantations are little understood. We assessed the carbon stocks across different plantation age groups, species, and sites. Our findings revealed that soil C concentration ranged from 0.4 to 1.5%, a

The accurate estimation of soil carbon (C) pool and fluxes is a prerequisite to better understand the terrestrial C feedback to climate change. However, recent studies showed considerable uncertainties in soil C estimates. To provide a reliable C estimate in the grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), we calibrated key parameters in a process-based ecosystem model (the CENTURY model) throug

Wild insect pollinators are essential to cultivated and natural ecosystems globally. Today, many pollinator species are declining. One reason is a general lack of flowering habitats at landscape scales. However, urban areas, including private gardens, may provide flowers, and constitute beneficial habitats for pollinators. Here, we evaluate the ecological outcomes of a citizen science campaign run

The measured net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 between the ecosystem and the atmosphere reflects the balance between gross CO2 assimilation [gross primary production (GPP)] and ecosystem respiration (R-eco). For understanding the mechanistic responses of ecosystem processes to environmental change it is important to separate these two flux components. Two approaches are conventionally used: (1)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens övergripande syfte är att kritiskt studera interorganisatoriska samverkansprocesser och sammanhängande konsekvenser, med ett särskilt fokus på rättens och maktens betydelse. Analysen av det empiriska materialet, som speglar samverkan i en kontext av barnahus på sex orter i Sverige (samverkan under ett tak kring utredningar av misstänkta brott mot barn), The overarching objective of the dissertation is to study inter-organisational collaboration processes and their associated consequences in a critical manner, with particular emphasis on the importance of law and power. The analysis of the empirical material, reflecting collaboration in the context of Barnahus on six locations in Sweden (collaboration under one roof regarding investigations of s

Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which water use efficiency (WUE) at leaf scale can be used to assess WUE at canopy scale, leaf WUE being assumed to be a constant function of vapor pressure deficit and to thus not be dependent upon other environmental factors or varying leaf properties. Leaf WUE and its variability and dependencies were assessed using lea

Världen genom maskögon! Megalomma vesiculosum är en havsborstmask som lever i de flesta marina miljöerna och även i vissa sötvatten. Dem lever på havets botten i små tuber som de tillverkar av sitt eget sekret. Förutom kroppen som bevaras i tuben har de kronliknaden tentakler som sticker upp ur tuben. Dessa tentakler ansvarar för, fånga in föda, andning och till och med syn. På var tentakels topp

Det finns nästintill oändligt många stjärnor i universum. Mycket information om stjärnorna - deras ålder, temperatur, färg - kan vi få svar på genom deras kemiska uppsättning, det vill säga vad de består av. Det kan dock vara svårt att lista ut vad stjärnorna faktiskt innehåller, eftersom vi inte kan åka till dem och kolla. Astronomer har löst detta genom att studera ljuset ifrån stjärnor, då ljusA suggested explanation for the observed differences in chemical abundances in binary stars has been planet formation (e.g. Tucci Maia et al. 2014). If a star hosts a planet, the planet may have depleted the protoplanetary disc in volatiles and refractories. Assuming that the star accretes the remaining protoplanetary disc (neglecting photoevaporation), the depletion of the disc may alter the chem

Riskanalys för Hurvas dricksvattentäkt I den lilla byn Hurva i Skåne tar man sitt dricksvatten från berggrunden. Hurva omges av jordbruksmark och har en aktiv bilskrot. Dessutom går E22:an förbi i utkanten av byn. Om ett utsläpp sker skulle det kunna skada grundvattnet. Denna riskanalys gjordes tillsammans med VA SYD, som har ansvar för dricksvattnet I Hurva. De har även hand om dagvatten (regn-Groundwater is one of our most important natural resources. Therefore, it is important to monitor the groundwater and to protect it from pollution. At Hurva, southern Sweden, the local drinking water is produced by groundwater extraction. In this study the potential impact of storm water on groundwater quality at Hurva is studied in a risk analysis. Mapping of the geology and hydrogeology in the

Isoprene emission from Sphagnum species naturally growing at different positions above the water table were measured in a subarctic peatland and at monoliths from a temperate bog. Our objectives were to investigate (1) whether emission rates were species and/or moisture dependent, and (2) whether short-term temperature history had an influence on emission capacity. We expected greater emission cap

The relationship between palynological diversity and floristic diversity was studied on the basis of sediment surface sample pollen data from nine small lakes and vegetation data within a 250 m radius from the lake shore of each. The nine study areas are situated in the patchy cultural landscape of Southern Estonia and were chosen to represent landscape changes along a gradient from closed forest
