1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

2. Dynamic minimum flows in the bypass reach of Juktån : A post-implementation evaluation of the effects on riparian vegetation
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the effects of the restoration efforts in Juktån on the plant species richness and composition, vegetation zonation and soil composition. The restoration involved implementation of a dynamic flow, in addition to hydro-geomorphological alterations. READ MORE

3. Sensitivity of Norway Spruce (Picea abies) to inundation.
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Alteration of river flow regimes due to dams result in modifications of riparian ecosystem, with impacts on vegetation, landforms, and habitats. A key characteristic that differentiates riparian zones from adjacent aquatic and terrestrial environments is the event of periodic flooding and water logging. READ MORE

4. 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 ManagementAbstract : 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

5. Hydrological control of plant species composition and distribution in Dal River alluvial meadows
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Northern boreal alluvial meadows are ecologically significant semi-natural ecosystems within the riparian zone. The effects of disturbance like flooding, grazing, and mowing have historically maintained high nutrient turnover and succession disruption that led to high biodiversity, leading to their inclusion in the Natura 2000 network.
