  1. 16. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Charlie van Houwelingen; Timothy Ley; [2021]
    Keywords : Coastal protection; nature-based solutions; salt marshes; salt meadows; sea level rise; wave damping; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE

  3. 17. Parkslide : kan förekomsten i olika jordar och miljöförhållanden ge indikationer på hur de kan bekämpas?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Chasmine Carlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : parkslide; Reynoutria japonica; jord; pH; invasiv; miljöförhållanden; ståndort;

    Abstract : Parkslide känns igen på sitt bambuliknande utseende och är en storväxande flerårig ört. Den har sitt ursprung i östra Asien, i länderna Japan, Korea, Taiwan och Kina och kom till Europa från Japan på1820-talet genom en holländsk import. Från att ha odlats som prydnadsväxt i parker och trädgårdar har arten spridit sig ut i naturen. READ MORE

  4. 18. Nature-based solutions as a climate change adaptation strategy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

    Author : Linda Doan; [2021]
    Keywords : nature-based solutions; ecosystem-based adaptation; Kristianstad Municipality; planning process; Swedish urban planning; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Because of climate change, rising sea levels in Kristianstad Municipality is more urgent than ever. Sea levels around Scania are estimated to rise more than 2,5 meters in 80 years considering that they are currently rising with 3,2 mm per year. READ MORE

  5. 19. Phosphorus accumulation in a free water surface wetland discharging into the Baltic Sea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Manuela Watschka; [2021]
    Keywords : free water surface wetland; phosphorus accumulation; internal loading; sediment accumulation;

    Abstract : Eutrophication has been an issue of the Baltic Sea for a long time, causing de-creased water clarity due to enhanced growth of algae and oxygen depletion dur-ing the decomposition of algae. The study investigated the free water surface wetland Vilhelmsberg that treats agricultural runoff before the water reaches the Baltic Sea. READ MORE

  6. 20. Beach-cast fertilizers for cultivation of carrots and radishes on Swedish Gotland : The effect on crop size and nutrient composition

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sofie Ögren; [2020]
    Keywords : Eutrophication; marine biofertilizer; beach-cast management; nutrient analysis; NMR;

    Abstract : In the eutrophicated Baltic, algal blooms with toxin-producing algae and plant overgrowth is a large threat to the marine environment, humans and animals. The use of external nutrient inputs into agriculture, such as mineral fertilizers (NPK), is reaching the Baltic through runoff which causes a constant, linear nutrient flow from land to the sea, which is one of the main contributors to accelerated eutrophication.
