  1. 1. Controls over stream temperature in a northern boreal landscape

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Oskar Damström; [2023]
    Keywords : Aquatic ecosystems; Climate change; Stream warming; Boreal streams;

    Abstract : With widespread increases in air temperature, it is expected that the temperature of aquatic ecosystems will also increase, especially at high latitudes. Warmer streams and rivers could have severe, direct impacts on cold-adapted aquatic fauna but may also indirectly influence species by reducing the amount of suitable habitat. READ MORE

  3. 2. Riparian vegetation ecology : an observational study into the effects of forest management on understory vegetation communities along boreal headwaters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Ruben Jonathan Baan Hofman; [2023]
    Keywords : riparian forest; forest management; understory vegetation; headwater streams; community ecology;

    Abstract : Riparian forests along headwater streams have long been recognized for their role as an interface between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. The over- and understory vegetation performs essential ecological and biochemical functions, which are important for stream functions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Sediment transport in small streams is related to riparian buffer width : a comparison between wide and narrow riparian buffers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2022]
    Keywords : Riparian Zone; Protective Zone; Headwater Stream; Forestry; Clear – cut Harvest; Organic Sediment; Inorganic Sediment; Near Stream Logging;

    Abstract : This study aims to provide information about how different widths of riparian buffers affect the quantity and quality of sediments transported in a small stream after a clear – cut harvest. Small streams have critical influences on downstream rivers and excessive transported sediments can have large negative effects on the aquatic system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving stream flow estimation in a montane rainforest stream in Costa Rica : The impact of adding a high flow estimation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Martin Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Streamflow information; Manning s estimation; rating curve; hydrographs; Vattenföring; avbördningskurva; hydrograf; Mannings ekvation;

    Abstract : A key piece of information necessary for water management is accurate streamflow information. However, the available data and resources for gathering information vary around the world. READ MORE

  6. 5. Forest Ditches As Habitat For Aquatic Macroinvertebrate In Boreal Landscapes

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Lara Sánchez Calderón; [2022]
    Keywords : aquatic macroinvertebrates; drainage ditches; Sweden; mineral soil; peat soil; forestry;

    Abstract : Large areas of northern Sweden have been ditched to promote forest growth by draining wet soils and peatlands. These ditches have greatly added to length of Sweden’s stream and river network, but the ecological properties of these man-made aquatic environments is poorly understood. READ MORE
