    Abstract : Dams play an important role in our society, but their negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems have led to a need for conservation efforts to mitigate the negative effects. In some instances, dam removal has been suggested to be the most economically and ecologically beneficial restoration method to improve longitudinal connectivity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards climate optimised riparian buffer zones in boreal forests

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

    Author : Alice Falk; [2022]
    Keywords : Forestry; Biogeochemical hotspots; Carbon dioxide; Methane;

    Abstract : Boreal forests have the potential to mitigate the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. However, forestry alters the soil biogeochemical processes which can cause an increase in GHG emissions from nearby water bodies, soil and vegetation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessing the impact of post-fire restoration interventions using spectral vegetation indices: A case study in El Bruc, Spain

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Bernat Dorado Guerrero; [2022]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; restoration intervention; drylands; monitoring; BACI; spectral vegetation indices; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ecological restoration has become an increasingly used practice to revert degraded land and mitigate the effects of extreme events in vulnerable biomes such as drylands. Methods to improve the assessment of these restoration interventions are essential to ensure their success, optimize resources and identify improvement aspects for future interventions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Does tree removal along railroads in Sweden influence the risk of train accidents with moose and roe deer?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Carin Eriksson; [2014]
    Keywords : tree clearance; railroads; train collision; moose; roe deer; ungulate-train collision;

    Abstract : After the storm Gudrun in 2005, the Swedish Transport Administration started clear-cutting of railroad corridors to reduce the risk of trees falling down on the tracks. Simultaneously, train accidents with moose and roe deer have become more frequent and the costs for consequent delays and repairs of engines are of growing concern. READ MORE
