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

    Author : Whitney Cleopatra Vlahakis; [2023]
    Keywords : Inundation; riparian zone; spruce seedlings; restoration; mortality;

    Abstract : 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. 3. The Effects of Depth and Hydrological Connectivity on Heavy Metal Loading in Riparian Zones

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

    Author : Emily Rose Williams; [2021]
    Keywords : Riparian zones; metal elements in soils; Discrete Riparian Inflow Zones DRIPs ; riparian soils; metal retention;

    Abstract : The area between a stream and land is known as a riparian zone. These zones are highly dynamic whichcarry and accumulate heavy metals and environmental contaminants. Discrete Riparian Input Zones(DRIPs) are a subset of such zones that carry concentrated amounts of water into streams at discrete points. READ MORE

  6. 5. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) : Differences in reactivity amongst water sources to boreal streams in Sweden

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

    Author : Lukas Eriksson; [2018]
    Keywords : Dissolved organic carbon; DOC; Discrete riparian inputs; Resazurin; Resorufin;

    Abstract : The importance of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to aquatic environments is well established in the scientific community. In boreal landscapes, small streams receive water from headwater lakes, mires, and discrete flow paths that drain riparian soils. READ MORE
