  3. 2. Hydrology and surface water chemistry in a small forested catchment : which factors influence surface water acidity?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maja Jensen; [2017]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem analysis; hydrology; surface water chemistry; acidification; deposition; water balance modelling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Water chemistry alterations such as acidification and eutrophication represent major threats to the running waters of the world, and Swedish waters are among the most vulnerable. In this study the small forested catchment Storskogen, part of the SWETHRO monitoring network, was analysed to examine the links between deposition, catchment hydrological properties and surface water chemistry.
