  1. 1. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : 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.

  3. 2. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; FLUXNET; Gross Primary Productivity; Ecosystem Respiration; Permafrost; Active Layer Thickness; Snow Depth; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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 Miljöförändring

    Author : Emelie Athley; [2023]
    Keywords : Methane CH4 ; environment; greenhouse gas GHG ; emission; Amazonian tree species; tropical trees; wetland; flux; CH4 emission from plants; tree mediated CH4 emission; Global CH4 budget; environmental stressors; meteorological parameters; natural CH4 emissions;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Peatland restoration: A mossy affair? : The similarities of the vegetation communitiesbetween restored bogs and natural bogs.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Liesbeth van Ravenhorst; [2022]
    Keywords : Wetland; peatland; bog; vegetation composition; plant functional trait; environmental variable;

    Abstract : Peatlands function as important global carbon sinks as peatlands store 30% to 40% of the total soil carbon even though peatlands only cover 3% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. However, drainage activities have damaged the ecosystem and caused many peatlands to function as carbon sources instead. READ MORE

  6. 5. A study of carbon, nitrogen, and biogenic silica concentrations in Cyperus papyrus, the sedge dominating the permanent swamp of the Okavango Delta, Botswana, Africa

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Giulia Lodi; [2022]
    Keywords : Okavango Delta; papyrus; total nitrogen; total organic carbon; biogenic silica; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Okawangodeltat är södra Afrikas största våtmark och en av världens minst påverkade våtmarker. Kunskapen om hur våtmarkssystemet fungerar är begränsad, särskilt vad gäller halter av näringsämnen och omsättning av näringsämnen i de dominerande våtmarksväxterna. READ MORE
