  1. 1. Short-Time Temporal Changes of CH4 Fluxes in Different Tropical Tree Species : In-situ research regarding methane emissions from inundation-adapted Amazonian tree species in Jardim Bot�nico do Rio de Janeiro.

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Emelie Athley; [2023]
    Keywords : Methane CH4 ; environment; greenhouse gas GHG ; emission; Amazonian tree species; tropical trees; wetland; flux; CH4 emission from plants; tree mediated CH4 emission; Global CH4 budget; environmental stressors; meteorological parameters; natural CH4 emissions;

    Abstract : Methane (CH4) is guaranteed to affect climate change and is essential in rising temperatures. Scientists have known for over two decades that wetlands emit CH4 to such an extent that it affects our climate. Tropical trees that grow in wetlands tend to emit or act as a conduit of CH4, to the extent that it has a negative environmental impact. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sources of organic carbon fueling carbon emissions from tropical reservoirs

    University essay from

    Author : Gabriella Villamor Saucedo; [2016]
    Keywords : tropical reservoirs; decomposition; autochthonous carbon; allochthonous carbon; tropical macrophytes; methanogenesis; tropiska vattenkraftsmagasin; metangasproduktion; autoktont OM; alloktont OM; tropiska makrofyter;

    Abstract : For a sustainable energy supply, it is of importance to be aware about the environmental impacts from the different energy sources. Hydroelectric reservoirs in tropical areas have been found to emit more greenhouse gases (GHG) than reservoirs from boreal regions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Variability of GHG emissions from emergent aquatic macrophytes in mixed boreal and Equisetum dominated communities

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Nina Marliden; [2015]
    Keywords : plant-mediated; GHG flux; methane; carbon dioxide; nitrous oxide; Equisetum fluviatile; wetland; lake;

    Abstract : Plants (macrophytes) growing in lake and wetland sediments are known mediators of greenhouse gases (GHG), specifically methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Current studies have emphasized the potential risk of underestimation regarding emissions of plant-mediated GHGs from terrestrial systems including lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies.

  5. 4. Spatial Variability of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Tropical Reservoirs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi

    Author : David Rudberg; [2015]
    Keywords : diffusion; ebullition; tropical reservoirs; hydropower; greenhouse gas emission; diffusion; ebullition; tropiska vattenmagasin; vattenkraft; växthusgaser;

    Abstract : Hydroelectricity has for a long time been considered climate neutral due to it being a renewable source of energy. During the last years however, studies have shown that emission magnitudes from hydroelectric reservoirs may be equal to those of fossil fuel power plants. READ MORE

  6. 5. Greenhouse gas emission from drying and rewetting stored sewage sludge

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Xi Yang; [2013]
    Keywords : Sevage; sludge; storage; methane; nitrous oxide; carbon dioxied; drying; rewetting;

    Abstract : Sludge produced from wastewater treatment plants is not only rich in nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), but also contains toxic organic contaminants and pathogenic organisms which can be potentially hazardous to health of plants, animals and humans. In order to minimize the pathogen contamination in sludge before land application, a minimum of one year of sewage sludge storage has been proposed by Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
