    Abstract : Wetlands are globally important biogeochemical hotspots, and their roles as either significant sources of greenhouse gas or carbon sinks are strongly controlled by environmental drivers such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus availability, which can stimulate emission of three greenhouse gases: nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Mounting evidence suggests that aquatic invertebrate activity can enhance wetland greenhouse gas flux, through bioturbation and bioirrigation of surrounding sediments. READ MORE

  4. 3. “Water is money.” A social-ecological systems approach to power and value in water management: the case of Doñana and Spanish strawberries

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management

    Author : Burag Gürden; [2018]
    Keywords : Social-ecological systems; Doñana; water management; power; conflict; case study; Spain; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis examines a water management conflict resulting from land-use change and export-oriented agricultural intensification in a geography where water is the absolute lifeline to the sustainability of a social-ecological system: the Doñana in southwestern Andalusia, in Spain. Social-ecological systems (SES) approach is the theoretical base of this research, where the Doñana SES is scrutinized with the application of Elinor Ostrom’s SES framework to the very system, as well as the DPSIR (Drivers–Pressures–State–Impacts–Responses) framework for better communication of the conflict.
