Density, modulus of elasticity (MOE) and bending strength (MOR) are the most important properties for structural timber. These properties vary significantly within European species, both between and within countries. The ...

Bat species in Fennoscandia make up approximately 20% of the terrestrial mammal wildlife and are all reliant on forest habitats to some extent throughout their annual cycle. However, there is a lack of knowledge on ecological ...

The populations of wild ungulates are increasing in the northern hemisphere, and in many areas, their populations have developed from critically low to historically high numbers within the last century. There are multiple ...

Soil and water are central resources for crop production. Soil erosion by water (water erosion) is a major cause of soil degradation and cropland productivity decline in the world. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where food ...

The European energy transition has passed the initial stage, and both the speed and scope of decarbonisation are growing rapidly. Decarbonisation progress has been observed in the power sector, but stronger efforts are ...

Sustainable and safe energy and food production are important issues affected by climate change. Biogas production is among the technologies with a potential to reduce negative effects on the environment that increased ...

This thesis assesses the economic impacts that the European energy transition towards net-zero carbon emissions has on Nordic power system stakeholders. The impacts of climate policies, the role of power system flexibility, ...

Net radiation constitutes the most important component shaping the climate in the lower atmosphere and the land surface below. The flux determines the amount of energy available for exchange as sensible and latent heat, ...

The role of disturbance in influencing interspecific competition and species persistence and distributions remains surprisingly unexplored. Disturbance may increase elevation ranges, especially at the lower range limits, ...
