1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

2. Surface and Subsurface Flow Connection and Dominating Runoff Mechanism in Hillslope of Tarfala, Northern Sweden.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : The Sub artic regions are becoming increasingly important due to the effects of climate change. In northern Sweden, thawing of permafrost has led to significant increases in annual minimum flows in several catchments. READ MORE

3. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

4. Analysis of Rainfall-runoff processes at different scales in two mountainous, Arctic catchments in northern Sweden
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : The hydrological regime in Arctic catchments is being altered as an effect of climate change. To be able to project future changes in Arctic hydrology and hydrogeology, the mechanisms and drivers affecting runoff generation needs to be understood. READ MORE

5. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. READ MORE
