Forest structure of Dalby Söderskog National Park by Achuthan, Kumetra

“…Carbon sequestration and storage is an ecosystem service supplied by forests, and is of increasing importance in the context of mitigation of global climate change. Forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalizations, represent a risk to the efficiency of carbon sequestration as they may greatly reduce the amount of the living biomass in forests. …”

Overcoming social barriers to urban green adaptation : a social representations approach to local environmental governance by Desthon, Johanna

“…Social representations theory (SRT) is used as the main conceptual framework, as it explores group-level common-sense understandings and has proven to be useful in analyzing social processes of climate change. A qualitative case study of city officials at three different units within the city was done to find out how these actors relate to the city’s environmental policies, as well as their motivation, way of thinking and attitudes towards the concepts of green infrastructure and climate adaptation. …”

Communication of Sustainable Brands within Food and Beverages : A Qualitative Study of KRAV’s CSR Communication by Abelin, Oscar

“…Our current food system is today contributing significantly to climate change and environmental degradation. At the same time, our population is increasing which mean that more people need to be fed. …”

Översvämningar i urbana miljöer : och hur de kan motverkas by Mehović, Munib

Skattningar i gallringsskog med hjälp av flygburen laserskanning by Sjödin, Martin

“…The primary aim of the national laser scanning is to create a new elevation model, useful in consequence analysis of climate changes. The laser data are, therefore, small footprint with 0.5 – 1 returns m-2 and classed into ground, water or unknown. …”

Importance of mire plant community composition when estimating ecosystem level methane emission by Kronberg, Rose-Marie

“…Abstract Methane emission is a factor to consider in climate change. Peatlands are a source of methane, and the plant community composition of the peatlands has been understood to have great importance for the methane emission to the atmosphere. …”

Inactivation of viruses in water by chlorination using bacteriophages as model organisms by Kanna, Charan Raju

“…Climate change will lead to more extreme rain events in parts of Sweden resulting in sewage overflows and thus more contamination of surface water, leading to an increased risk of waterborne infections. …”

Modeling the effect of roads and topoclimate on plant invasions in mountains by Roth, Nina

“…But the invasion risk is increasing due to climate change and intensified land use. This is problematic, because mountain regions generally have high conservation value and are hard to manage. …”

Assessment of environmental-livestock interactions in crop-livestock systems of central Ethiopian highlands by Alemayehu, N.

“…The major contributing factors were combined pressure of human and animal population on natural resources that led to excessive deforestation, loss of biological diversity, overgrazing, soil degradation and various forms of pollution and contamination. The global climate change also played a role in the decline in water resources due to the decrease in annual precipitation and increasing temperatures. …”

Carbon Storage in Cold Temperate Ecosystems in Southern Patagonia, Argentina. by Peri, Pablo Luis

“…Recently there has been an increasing interest of research related to improve the understanding of carbon (C) sequestration mainly under Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change where countries can count this sequestration as a contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emission (IPCC, 2001). …”

Evaluating the impact of heat stress as measured by temperature- humidity index (THI) on test-day milk yield of dairy cattle in Tanzania by Ekine-Dzivenu, Chinyere C., Mrode, Raphael A., Ojango, Julie M.K., Okeyo Mwai, Ally

“…To mitigate the impact that heat stress induced milk loss has on the income of small holder dairy farmers, especially in the face of a growing climate change threat, breeding strategies such as genomic selection can be explored to identify superior sires more resistant to heat stress for breeding heat tolerant dairy cattle.…”

Genetic mapping for agronomic traits in a MAGIC population of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under drought conditions by Díaz, Santiago, Ariza-Suárez, Daniel, Izquierdo, Paulo, Lobaton, Juan David, Hoz, Juan Fernando de la, Acevedo, Fernando, Duitama, Jorge, Guerrero, Alberto F., Cajiao V., César Hernando, Mayor, Victor, Beebe, Stephen E., Raatz, Bodo

“…Drought is a major production constraint for common bean, a situation that will be aggravated with current climate change scenarios. In this context, new tools designed to understand the genetic basis governing the phenotypic responses to abiotic stress are required to improve transfer of desirable traits into cultivated beans. …”

Sustainable irrigation technologies: a water-energy-food (WEF) nexus perspective towards achieving more crop per drop per joule per hectare by Taguta, C., Dirwai, T. L., Senzanje, A., Sikka, Alok, Mabhaudhi, Tafadzwanashe

“…Overall, the irrigation modernization pathway to drip technology from either furrow or sprinkler systems improves irrigated agriculture’s WEF nexus performance in all three regions for more crop per drop per joule per hectare under climate change. This can promote inclusive and sustainable irrigation development within the planetary boundaries.…”

Unraveling Origin, History, Genetics, and Strategies for Accelerated Domestication and Diversification of Food Legumes by A, Ambika, Aski, Muraleedhar, G, Gayacharan, Hamwieh, Aladdin, Talukdar, Akshay, Gupta, Santosh Kumar, Sharma, Brij Bihari, Joshi, Rekha, Upadhyaya, Hari D., Singh, Kuldeep, Kumar, Rajendra

“…In addition, food legumes contribute to food security by protecting human health and minimize climate change impacts. During the domestication process, legume crop species have undergone a severe genetic diversity loss, and only a very narrow range of variability is retained in the cultivars. …”
