16. Plantskoleproduktion utan torv : en inblick i torvfria plantskolor i Storbritannien
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : Torvmarker täcker ~3% av världens landyta och har sedan senaste istiden fungerat som en viktig kolsänka, som tar upp koldioxid (CO2) ur atmosfären. Ungefär 10% av torvmarkerna på jorden har dränerats, huvudsakligen för skogs- och lantbruk, samt till viss del för torvbruk. READ MORE

17. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). READ MORE

19. Mapping Carbon Storage and Potential Bioenergy Production in Södertälje Using High-resolution Biotope Database
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Global warming is caused by the human induced increase of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. GHG emissions need to be reduced, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil sources ceased to mitigate global warming. Energy production and use is a main contributor to fossil sourced emissions in Europe. READ MORE

20. Tundra carbon cycling in relation to sea-ice decline in a warming Arctic
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : We set out to investigate whether arctic tundra acted as a sink or source of carbon dioxide (CO2) between 1980-2014 and to relate changes in the net carbon balance to Arctic sea-ice decline. We want to understand how climate change and arctic warming influence arctic carbon cycling. READ MORE
