Повний текст джерелаWetlands provide various ecosystem services such as provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural services which may be directly or indirectly beneficial to humans. The manner in which such wetlands are managed is partly determined by human perceptions of their value. However, climatic variability and climate change put the continued provision of such ecosystems under stress. The result is that certain ecosystem services may be provided to differing extents during anomalously wet or dry years. There is thus uncertainty as to the values ascribed to wetlands by people during varying climatic phases. This thesis focuses on understanding how people perceive the functioning of wetlands within our current climate against a background of climatic variability and climate change. This study explores people’s perceptions regarding the functioning of wetlands and ecosystem services provided during dry and wet years, as an indication of how climatic variability and climate change impact peoples’ perceptions. The data was collected in the wetlands of the Agulhas Plain in the Nuwejaars Catchment. Five wetlands classified and scored using the WETEcoServices tool. In addition, five semi-structured interviews and three participatory mapping exercises with landowners were also undertaken. The study reports on the landowners’ awareness of wetland ecosystems, ecosystem services and climatic variability and climate change. Provisioning, supporting, and cultural ecosystem services are frequently used by landowners, which can be impacted by climatic variability and climate change. The WETEcoService benefits and landowners perceptions of ecosystem services varies, as the WETEcoService direct and indirect ecosystem services are either effective or ineffective in dry and wet years. In contrast to landowners perceptions emphasising the importance of ecosystem services directly beneficial to them. The study recommends that the ecosystem services landowners perceive as important is linked to their interest to guarantee their participation in catchment management. WET-EcoService benefits can inform landowners and managers about ecosystem services degradation and whether their conservation methods are either positively or negatively impacting wetlands.

Повний текст джерелаAcross the planet, climate change is altering the way human societies interact with the environment. Amplified climate change at high latitudes is significantly altering the structure and function of ecosystems, creating challenges and necessitating adaptation by societies in the region that depend on local ecosystem services for their livelihoods. Rural communities in Interior Alaska rely on plants and animals for food, clothing, fuel and shelter. Previous research suggests that climate-induced changes in environmental conditions are challenging the abilities of rural residents to travel across the land and access local resources, but detailed information on the nature and effect of specific conditions is lacking. My objectives were to identify climate-related environmental conditions affecting subsistence access, and then estimate travel and access vulnerability to those environmental conditions. I collaborated with nine Interior Alaskan communities within the Yukon River basin and provided local residents with camera-equipped GPS units to document environmental conditions directly affecting access for 12 consecutive months. I also conducted comprehensive interviews with research participants to incorporate the effects of environmental conditions not documented with GPS units. Among the nine communities collaborating on this research, 18 harvesters documented 479 individual observations of environmental conditions affecting their travel with GPS units. Environmental conditions were categorized into seven condition types. I then ranked categories of conditions using a vulnerability index that incorporated both likelihood (number of times a condition was documented) and sensitivity (magnitude of the effect from the condition) information derived from observations and interviews. Changes in ice conditions, erosion, vegetative community composition and water levels had the greatest overall effect on travel and access to subsistence resources. Environmental conditions that impeded travel corridors, including waterways and areas with easily traversable vegetation (such as grass/sedge meadows and alpine tundra), more strongly influenced communities off the road network than those connected by roads. Combining local ecological knowledge and scientific analysis presents a broad understanding of the effects of climate change on access to subsistence resources, and provides information that collaborating communities can use to optimize adaptation and self-reliance.

Повний текст джерелаThis Bachelor‟s thesis aims at explaining the relationship between forests and climate change, a subject that has been given a lot of attention in environmental discussions in recent years, particularly because forests are a source of carbon dioxide emissions and in the same time have the potential to mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration. However, with the importance of mitigation as a background, the focus of this study is on adaptation. The purpose is to identify mutual benefits from the diverse forest ecosystems, and examine the possible benefits from forests to the rural poor population in Tanzania, in a future scenario of increased vulnerability to climate change. The methodology for the study can be divided into two parts, one qualitative literature study and one field study in Babati District northern Tanzania, limited to interviews and excursions. This thesis gives details about the scientific projections and local perceptions of climate change and the effects of climate change. The results of the thesis highlights the importance of sustainably managed forests and agroforestry systems, which have been successful in Babati through local participation; economic incentives such as carbon credit and other payments for ecosystem services, which is a possible future extension of forestry activities; and increased integration between sectors, which make sure that adaptation within different sectors can be done simultaneously.

Повний текст джерелаLos bosques proveen una amplia variedad de servicios ecosistémicos (SE). Entender cómo y por qué estos SE se distribuyen en el paisaje es esencial para proteger, mejorar y restaurar estos ecosistemas. Además, la efectividad de las Áreas Protegidas (AP) en el mantenimiento de los SE y la biodiversidad aún no está del todo clara, y los bosques están cada vez más sometidos a la presión del cambio climático, con cambios en el régimen de perturbaciones (como incendios). Predecir en qué lugares estas perturbaciones se darán en un futuro y hasta qué punto los SE se verán afectados son retos fundamentales de investigación. El objetivo general de esta tesis es analizar la distribución espacial de los SE de los bosques, su relevancia en la conservación y su vulnerabilidad y riesgo frente a perturbaciones del cambio climático, especialmente los incendios forestales. Para cumplir este objetivo, 1) hemos analizado la distribución espacial de los stocks de carbono y la biodiversidad en los bosques, así como la relación entre ellos y sus causas, en dos regiones y cinco subclimas; 2) hemos determinado el rol de las AP en la preservación de los SE y la biodiversidad en Cataluña; 3) hemos desarrollado un marco conceptual para evaluar la vulnerabilidad de los bosques y su riesgo de pérdida de SE; y 4) hemos evaluado los patrones espaciales y las causas de la vulnerabilidad de los bosques a incendios y el riesgo asociado de pérdida de SE en Cataluña. La relación entre los stocks de carbono y la biodiversidad es en general positiva, con valores más elevados en el norte de España y en el sur del Québec. Valores de densidad y diversidad estructural elevados han favorecido los stocks de carbono, la biodiversidad de árboles y la biodiversidad global. Respecto a las AP, hemos encontrado más stocks de carbono, cobertura de hábitats de interés comunitario, hábitats prioritarios y lugares de interés geológico dentro de las AP que en sus áreas de influencia (o buffer zones), pero ninguno de los indicadores de biodiversidad ha mostrado diferencias entre las AP y sus áreas de influencia. Las AP con niveles de protección más elevados no han proveído de más SE y biodiversidad, o viceversa. Además, hemos propuesto un marco conceptual para evaluar la vulnerabilidad de los bosques y el riesgo de pérdida de SE, basado en los componentes de exposición, magnitud de la perturbación, susceptibilidad y ausencia de capacidad adaptativa. Finalmente, hemos aplicado este marco general a los incendios forestales en Cataluña. Los resultados muestran que la magnitud de la perturbación es el componente más importante que define el riesgo de pérdida de SE debido a incendios. El tipo funcional de bosque - especialmente las coníferas no Mediterráneas que tienen una menor capacidad adaptativa - es el factor más importante bajo condiciones extremas. El aumento de riesgo más grande está en bosques relativamente húmedos, situación que según las tendencias climáticas actuales pasará a ser más común en un futuro. En general, esta tesis ha contribuido a aumentar la evidencia científica de la relación positiva entre los stocks de carbono y la biodiversidad. También ha mostrado que la conservación en Cataluña solo es efectiva para mantener algunos SE y variables de conservación. También ha contribuido con un marco conceptual innovador sobre la vulnerabilidad de los bosques y el riesgo de pérdida de SE debido a perturbaciones del cambio climático. La aplicación de este marco conceptual a los incendios forestales ha demostrado implicaciones en el riesgo de pérdida de SE, que podrían servir para el desarrollo de políticas futuras de anticipación del riesgo, pudiendo servir de guía para la gestión forestal eficiente.
Forest ecosystems provide a wide variety ecosystem services (ES). Understanding how these ES are distributed across the landscape and identifying their main drivers is essential to inform policy to protect, enhance and restore these ecosystems. Besides, protected areas (PAs) are fundamental for biodiversity conservation and the provision of ES, yet their effectiveness in maintaining ES and biodiversity is still unclear. Currently, forests are increasingly under pressure from climate change, resulting in changes in disturbance regimes (e.g., wildfires, drought, insect-outbreaks and windstorms). Predicting where these natural hazards will occur in the future and to what extent forest ES will be affected are also fundamental research challenges. The general objective of this thesis is to analyze the spatial distribution of forest ES, their relevance in conservation and their vulnerability and risk to climate change hazards, especially wildfires. To do so, 1) we have analyzed the spatial distribution, relationship and drivers of forest carbon stocks and biodiversity in two regions and five subclimates; 2) we have determined the role of PAs in preserving ES and biodiversity in forests and shrublands of Catalonia; 3) we have developed a general framework of forest vulnerability and risk of losing ES due to different climate change hazards; and 4) we have assessed the spatial patterns and drivers of forest vulnerability to wildfires and the corresponding risk of losing ES in Catalonia. We have found a general positive relationship between carbon stocks and biodiversity, with the highest values in northern Spain (humid Mediterranean subclimate) and southern Quebec (temperate subclimate). High density and structural diversity have simultaneously favored carbon stocks, tree and overall biodiversity. The variables positively affecting carbon and biodiversity have been also driving their hotspots, emphasizing the viability of ‘win-win’ solutions. Regarding PAs, we have found more carbon stocks, coverage of community-interest habitats, priority-habitats and geological-interest sites in PAs than in buffer zones, but none of the biodiversity variables considered have showed differences between PAs and buffer zones. PAs with higher degree of protection have not provided higher levels of ES and biodiversity, or vice versa. Furthermore, we have proposed a general framework to assess forest vulnerability and risk based on the components of exposure, hazard magnitude, susceptibility and lack of adaptive capacity. Finally, we have applied this general framework to the particular case of wildfires in Catalonia. The results have indicated that hazard magnitude is the most important factor defining ES at risk from wildfires. Climate is the main driving factor of ES at risk under average conditions, but forest functional type - in particular non-Mediterranean conifers that have low adaptive capacity - have gained importance under extreme conditions. The highest increases in risk have been found in relatively wet forests with currently low risk, which according to climate trends will become common in the future. Overall, this thesis has gained evidence on the positive relationship between carbon stocks and biodiversity and their main drivers in five subclimates, and has showed that the conservation strategy in Catalonia is only effective at maintaining some of the ES and conservation variables considered. It has also contributed with an innovative conceptual framework of forest vulnerability and risk of losing ES due to climate change hazards, constituting a basis for a systematic operationalization of forest risk and vulnerability. The application of this framework to the case of wildfires has showed relevant implications on the future risk of losing ES due to wildfires, which could contribute to future-oriented policies by anticipating conditions associated with particularly high risks and guiding efficient forest management.

Повний текст джерелаGlobal environmental change (GEC) in the ocean threatens marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them. A growing scientific effort is attempting to evaluate the impacts of environmental changes on ecosystems and ecosystem services and guide policy-making to respond to this global issue. Focusing on social-ecological systems of coral reefs, this thesis critically reviews the approaches put forward in the literature to understand gaps and to design new methodologies, assessments, and indicators to guide science and policy. Our findings show that a regionally targeted strategy of research should address complexity and provide more realistic projections about the impacts of GEC on coral reefs ecosystems and ecosystem services. We map global-scale indicators to understand where human dependence on coral reef ecosystems will be affected by globally-driven threats expected in a high-CO2 world. We then analyze how science is responding to the challenge posed by GEC on coral reefs and to identify gaps in research.Finally, we attempt to operationalize an overlooked component of vulnerability assessments, ecological adaptive capacity, to serve as a tool to help assess where local actions can be effective in the context of climate change. This manuscript contributes to theoretical and methodological advances to evaluate impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to GEC. It develops interdisciplinary approaches for the study of social-ecological systems and ecosystem services, targeting coral reefs as a case study. Finally, it synthesizes critically the emergence of a scientific field on solutions to GEC for coral reef social-ecological systems

Повний текст джерелаThe main aim of this dissertation is to examine how climate change can affect the process of human development. In particular, it tries to identify, characterize and classify the potential impacts of climate change on relevant dimensions of human development, such as health, education, livelihoods, security, cultural values and social relations. The dissertation proposes an analytical structure in which it delves into direct and indirect relations between the components of the climate and well being, and set up mechanisms that link the two areas, which are the natural resources of water, soil and biodiversity as well as the ecosystem services. The analysis was not restricted to the particular realities of a given country, in contrast, it focused on evidence at a global level. This study is based on the vision of human development as characterized by the work of Amartya Sen, which enabled us to consider a wide range of dimensions in the assessment of well being, covering the various ways in which people are and can be deprived of enjoying a life that they value due to climate change. Through the analytical framework proposed in this paper and the systematic investigation of two bodies of literature (the environmental and human development), it was possible to see that the process of human development is determined by the expansion of multidimensional aspects, such as functionings and capabilities, as well as means and entitlements that may increase or decrease depending on the relation with the environment, especially the climate system. The analysis showed evidence such as that climate change is a latent risk to the setback of human development and expansion of human deprivation in the world, with disproportionate effect on poor and developing countries. The climatic shocks threaten in different ways (directly and indirectly) the functionings and capabilities of individuals, such as health, education, cultural values and social relations. Moreover, the climatic shocks restrict human development to affect and limit the "means and entitlements" necessary for the sustenance of the people, by reducing the quantity and quality of water, agricultural production, modification of fishing activities, reduction income, among other ways. The largest impacts are in rural areas, which concentrate the largest proportion of poor people. An examination of impacts took into account the interaction with aspects of pre-existing vulnerability of each country or region, associated with exposure defined by geographic location, according to the sensitivity of the dependence on agriculture and ecosystems services and the capacity of adaptation certain by social, economic, institutional, political and status of natural resources.

Повний текст джерелаPredictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggest that the region of Southeast Europe will be strongly influenced by the altered climate conditions in 21 century. It is expected that the summers will be hotter and drier with more extreme events and temperatures that can rise on average as much as 3.8 °C. That is a big challenge for forestry. To respond to this challenge it is necessary to make and implement appropriate adaptation measures which would mean adapting forest management practice to changed environmental conditions. Different models are one of the important tools which can be used in this purpose. In this dissertation state-of-the art methods for calculating the impact of climate change on forests have been applied. This is a pioneering work and the first of its kind in the region. Two different methodological approaches, related to the distribution, growth, adaptive and multifunctional management of European beech forests in Serbia has been performed and provided following results and conclusions. Changed climatic conditions will have an impact on the growth and distribution of beech forests in 21st century based on simulations with the 4C model and predictions of Ellenberg’s climate quotient (EQ). At the end of the simulated period 2001-2030 higher volumes were recorded for the nine beech stands in comparison to the reference period 1961 to 1990, while the volume at the end of the period 2071-2100 were higher or similar to the reference period. Simulations in the period 2001-2030 have had the greatest average annual increment and the biggest amount of dead wood. The best results for carbon sequestration and biodiversity were provided by management scenario in which there were no management measures. In contrast, the highest yield of timber is recorded in the scenarios with the most intensive management measures. The adaptive multifunctional management of beech forests including three scenarios of preferences’ (Forest Directorate , Nature Protection Sector and Public Enterprise "Srbijašume" ) suggested that management measures that involved more frequent interventions (five years between felling) givesbetter results than scenario which include a ten-year periods. Scenarios in which higher trees are cut provide better results than scenario where the lower trees are cut. EQ showed good predictive capability for determining the lower (xeric) limit of the distribution of beech forests in Serbia. By the end of 21st century, approximately 90 % of today's beech forests will be found outside the bioclimatic niches in which they were in the 20th century, while the 50 % of them will be in the zone in which their mass mortality is observed in Hungary. Calculated EQ beech threshold distribution for Serbia were slightly lower than in similar studies in the region (Hungary) , which implies strict regional and local approach to the problem. Comparison of simulated results with the 4C model and EQ for nine stands showed different trends related to growth (distribution) of beech forests in Serbia by the end of 21st century. 4C model predicted improvement of environmental conditions, while the EQ predicted their worsening. For this reason, continuing long-term studies of beech forests are needed in order to get a more reliable basis for estimating future distribution, growth and planning of forest management in the future.

I detta sammanhang behandlar studien två forskningsfrågor: hur EbA ingår i strategisk klimatanpassningsplanering och hur EbA implementeras i praktiken. Studien innehåller en fallstudie- design, där processen från strategisk planering till dess genomförande undersöks i två nordeuropeiska städer: Köpenhamn och Malmö. För att samla in data användes två kvalitativa metoder: en dokumentanalys och semistrukturerade intervjuer med tjänstepersoner på kommuner. Resultaten från studien visar att det finns en hög grad av medvetenhet om de olika EbA åtgärderna, deras potentiella roll för att hantera klimatförändringseffekter och deras synergier i klimatanpassningsplaner. Det praktiska genomförandet av planerna utfördes endast i en projektbaserad skala för att ta med vissa klimatförändringseffekter snarare än på ett holistiskt vis och på en större regional nivå. Den viktigaste EbA åtgärden som användes var utbyggnaden eller omvandlingen av de offentliga grönytorna. Sammanfattningsvis har studien visat på att det finns behov av ett mer heltäckande tillvägagångssätt och ytterligare integrering beträffande användandet av EbA krävs.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis investigates the influence of climate change and climatic variability on wetland ecosystems (coastal and inland wetlands) on the Agulhas coastal plain. Firstly, this research examines coastal wetland ecosystem resilience to sea level rise by modelling sea level rise trajectories for the Droё River wetland. The rate of sediment accretion was modelled relative to IPCC sea level rise estimates for multiple RCP scenarios. For each scenario, inundation by neap and spring tide and the 2-, 4- and 8-year recurrence interval water level was modelled over a period of 200 years. When tidal variation is considered, the rate of sediment accretion exceeds rising sea levels associated with climate change, resulting in no major changes in terms of inundation. When sea level rise scenarios were modelled in conjunction with the recurrence interval water levels, flooding of the coastal wetland was much greater than current levels for the 1 in 4 and 1 in 8 year events. The study suggests that for this wetland, variability of flows may be a key factor contributing to wetland resilience. Secondly, the thesis examines the variability of open wetland water surface areas and their relation to rainfall to determine wetland hydrological inputs for the Nuwejaars wetland system and respective wetlands. A remote sensing approach was adopted, Landsat 5 TM and 8 OLI multispectral imagery were used to detect changes of water surfaces for the period 1989 to 2017. Water surfaces were enhanced and extracted using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index of Xu (2006). The coefficient of variation of wetland water surface area was determined. The variability ranges from low to high for respective wetlands. A correlation analysis of wetland water surfaces and local and catchment rainfall for the preceding 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months was undertaken. The preceding month and associated inputs explains the annual variability of surface waters. The study suggests that, the variability of wetland water surface area are related to variations to water inputs and groundwater, as well as variations in water outputs such as evapotranspiration and an outlet channel.
