  1. 21. En studie av sedimenttransport, död ved och kantzoner längs två vattendrag i Kilsbergen : från skog till slätt

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Daniel Ström; [2008]
    Keywords : sedimenttransport; vatten; kantzon;

    Abstract : Headwater streams are affected by anthropogenic impacts at multiple scales. One aspect of human impact is sediment transport associated to the abundance of stream structures as large woody debris and the composition of the riparian zone from forest to agricultural landscapes.

  3. 22. Carbon dioxide evasion from a Boreal Catchment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Environmental Assessment

    Author : Marcus Wallin; [2005]
    Keywords : carbon dioxide evasion; headwater catchment; boreal catchment;

    Abstract : Boreal headwaters potentially represent important conduits for the exchange of gaseous carbon between the terrestrial ecosystem and the atmosphere. Even if the loss is small in absolute terms compared to the uptake and release directly from forested terrestrial systems, it is a persistent term that is important when discussing the landscape carbon budget.

  5. 24. Variations in bioavailability of dissolved organic matter during a spring flood episode in northern Sweden

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

    Author : Tobias Eriksson; [2004]
    Keywords : bioavailability; dissolved organic matter; stream; spring flood; Sweden;

    Abstract : This study of spring flood episodes was performed within the catchment of Krycklan, in Svartberget, northern Sweden. The purpose was to better understand changes in total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations and the bioavailability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during the spring flood and how they differ between stream sites, ranging in size and characteristics.
