1. Short-Time Temporal Changes of CH4 Fluxes in Different Tropical Tree Species : In-situ research regarding methane emissions from inundation-adapted Amazonian tree species in Jardim Bot�nico do Rio de Janeiro.
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema MiljöförändringAbstract : Methane (CH4) is guaranteed to affect climate change and is essential in rising temperatures. Scientists have known for over two decades that wetlands emit CH4 to such an extent that it affects our climate. Tropical trees that grow in wetlands tend to emit or act as a conduit of CH4, to the extent that it has a negative environmental impact. READ MORE

2. Sources of organic carbon fueling carbon emissions from tropical reservoirs
University essay fromAbstract : For a sustainable energy supply, it is of importance to be aware about the environmental impacts from the different energy sources. Hydroelectric reservoirs in tropical areas have been found to emit more greenhouse gases (GHG) than reservoirs from boreal regions. READ MORE

3. Variability of GHG emissions from emergent aquatic macrophytes in mixed boreal and Equisetum dominated communities
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakultetenAbstract : Plants (macrophytes) growing in lake and wetland sediments are known mediators of greenhouse gases (GHG), specifically methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Current studies have emphasized the potential risk of underestimation regarding emissions of plant-mediated GHGs from terrestrial systems including lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies.

4. Spatial Variability of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Tropical Reservoirs
University essay from Uppsala universitet/LimnologiAbstract : Hydroelectricity has for a long time been considered climate neutral due to it being a renewable source of energy. During the last years however, studies have shown that emission magnitudes from hydroelectric reservoirs may be equal to those of fossil fuel power plants. READ MORE

5. Greenhouse gas emission from drying and rewetting stored sewage sludge
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and TechnologyAbstract : Sludge produced from wastewater treatment plants is not only rich in nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), but also contains toxic organic contaminants and pathogenic organisms which can be potentially hazardous to health of plants, animals and humans. In order to minimize the pathogen contamination in sludge before land application, a minimum of one year of sewage sludge storage has been proposed by Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
