Alpine ecosystems harbor remarkably diverse and distinct plant communities that are characteristically limited to harsh, and cold climatic conditions. As a result of thermal limitation to species occurrence, mountainous ecosystems are considered to be particularly sensitive to climate change. Our understanding of the impact of climate change is mainly based on vascular plants however, whereas cryp

Annual Report 2018 LUND UNIVERSITY CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES 2 Words from the Director Within LUCSUS, we focused on advancing research within four interrelated themes, which cover land use and governance, climate change and resilience, urban governance and transformations, and sustainability of energy systems.

A policy brief can be a powerful tool for research to engage with policymakers, reach out with important results, and to contribute to a democratisation of research. For policy briefs to have an impact, the message needs to be clear and the topic considered urgent. In this workshop, participants discussed how to communicate science for policy and how to make the most out of policy briefs as a mean

Understanding the mechanisms that regulate the dynamics of spatially structured populations (SSP) is a critical challenge for ecologists and conservation managers. Internal population processes such as births and deaths occur at a local level, while external processes such as dispersal take place at an inter-population level. At both levels, density dependence is expected to play a critical role.

OBJECTIVES: Deep bone and joint infections (DBJI) are directly intertwined with health, demographic change towards an elderly population, and wellbeing.The elderly human population is more prone to acquire infections, and the consequences such as pain, reduced quality of life, morbidity, absence from work and premature retirement due to disability place significant burdens on already strained heal

While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national

Avian ecosystem services such as the suppression of pests are considered to be of high ecological and economic importance in a range of ecosystems, especially in tropical agroforestry. However, how bird predation success is related to the diversity and composition of the bird community, as well as local and landscape factors, is poorly understood. We quantified arthropod predation in relation to t

Colombian government pursues an extractive-led development trajectory in which mining is considered as a key factor for reviving the economy. However, while mining has been important in the economic development of some countries, it has also been associated to conflicts, product of its high environmental impact and, in many cases, unequal distribution of benefits. “La Colosa” is a gold open pit mi

Objectives: To analyse the incidence, treatment strategies and complications associated with penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) in Sweden over a period of 20 years. Materials and methods: Data on PeIN from the Swedish National Penile Cancer Register were analysed regarding treatment in relation to age, size of the PeIN lesion, localization of the PeIN lesion and complications using chi-square

Background: The microbiology and the susceptibility patterns of infected total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) vary depending on demographic, local antimicrobial stewardship, and surgical factors. We wanted to compare the recent microbial profile and antimicrobial resistance pattern in revisions due to infections after primary TKAs in Sweden and Lithuania. Our hypothesis was that there is a difference

Kunskapsintensiva företagstjänster (KIBS) har en nyckelroll i den ekonomiska utvecklingen. Deras konkurrenskraft och värdeskapande processer bygger på komplexa samarbetsrelationer med kunder och andra aktörer. Av den anledningen har forskningen konventionellt lyft fram att dessa företags konkurrenskraft är starkt beroende av geografisk närhet till stora klient- och arbetsmarknader liksom till avanKnowledge intensive business services (KIBS) play a key role in economic development. Due to the complex and collaborative nature of their value creation processes, it is conventionally argued that they depend strongly on physical proximity to large client-, and labour-markets, as well as on closeness to advanced knowledge infrastructures. This thesis partially questions such conventional assumpti

Unprecedented global challenges demand all-encompassing modification of societal realms to ensure life support functions and human development. In the absence of adequate responses to climate change at a global level and the need for place-based adaptation, local governments are gaining increasing attention to govern and implement solution options to foster sustainability transitions. In this cont

Horisonter med subfossila stubbar och rötter av tall (Pinus sylvestris) är vanliga i stratigra-fier från torvmarker i norra Europa. Dessa är tydliga indikationer på att det under holocen funnits perioder med tillräckligt gynnsamma förhållanden för tallar att växa på mossar. Tall kan endast växa på mossar när ytan är tillräckligt torr, och därför är rester av tallar på mossar goda indikationer på eHorizons rich in subfossil stumps and roots of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) are frequently found in stratigraphies of northern European peatlands, providing clear evidence of Holocene periods with favourable conditions for bog-pine growth. The pines could only grow when bog-surface wetness was sufficiently low, and the presence of their remains is therefore a good indicator of past climatic condi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Städernas hårdgjorda ytor hindrar nederbörd från att infiltrera ner i marken, vilket ger dagvatten som måste tas om hand. I och med ett framtida ändrat klimat kommer vintrarna i Skåne att bli varmare, med mer regn och mindre snö och antalet dagar med kraftig nederbörd att bli fler. Med mer intensiva regn ökar risken att städernas vattenledningsnät översvämmas. ÖIn cities hard surfaces prevent rainwater from infiltrating to the ground, which causes runoff,stormwater, that needs to be taken care of. With future changes in climate patterns winters in Scania, southern Sweden, will be warmer, with more rain and less snow and more days with more than 10 mm of precipitation. More intensive rains increase the chance of flooding of urban drainage systems. Open se
