1. 1. Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of  Carbon Sequestration in Stockholm  County's Green areas : A GIS-based Analysis

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Victoria Kareflod; [2023]
   Keywords : Carbon sequestration; carbon dynamics; decarbonization; scenario analysis; Corine land cover analysis; urban vegetation; carbon offset; Paris agreement; koldioxidlagring; koldynamik; dekarbonisering; scenarioanalys; marktäckesanalys; stadsvegetation; koldioxidkompensation; parisavtalet;

   Abstract : The human influence of global climate is an issue currently assessed in various mitigation strategies. Stockholm County has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and negative by 2045 according to the Paris agreement. READ MORE

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex

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

   Author : Nils Helge Havertz; [2023]
   Keywords : Microtopography modelling; Remote sensing; Boreal mixed mires; Object Based Image Analysis OBIA ; random forest RF ;

   Abstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

5. 4. Effects of soil factors on pioneer bryophyte species composition

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

   Author : Dora Mijić; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Bryophytes play a significant role in various ecological processes, including soil succession and colonization after disturbances. Although they are commonly believed to take up nutrients from soil solutions rather than the soil itself, the influence of soil on their growth and distribution is evident from previous studies.

6. 5. 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
