  1. 11. Drivers of decomposition across Sphagnum bog margins

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Emil Nordström; [2022]
    Keywords : Peatlands; tea bag index; edge effects; carbon storage; carbon sequestration; waterlogging; Torvmark; kanteffekter; kollagring; koldioxidbindning;

    Abstract : Peatlands provide multiple ecosystem services, including extensive carbon sequestration and storage, yet many peatlands have been degraded or destroyed. Peatlands carbon storage capacity is connected to inherently low decomposition rates, causing the build-up of organic matter.

  3. 12. Carbon capture in biomass combustion plants using promoted potassium carbonate solutions : A cost and safety evaluation

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemiteknik

    Author : Håkan Bergman; [2022]
    Keywords : BECCS; carbon dioxide; potassium carbonate; bioenergy carbon capture and storage; promoter; BECSS; Koldioxidinfångning;

    Abstract : Biomass combustion can be seen as CO2 neutral, thereby biomass combustion plants can have negative CO2 emissions if retrofitted with post combustion capture (PCC) technology using liquid absorbents. Monoethanolamine (MEA) has been used for carbon capture in coal combustion plants but are not suitable for use in biomass combustion plants due to corrosion and high solvent regeneration cost.

  4. 13. Forest structure of Dalby Söderskog National Park : patterns of carbon storage in living and dead trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kumetra Achuthan; [2021]
    Keywords : ash dieback disease; deadwood; Dutch elm disease; living tree volume; coarse woody debris; carbon stock and storage; pest invasions; temperate mixed broadleaved forest;

    Abstract : Carbon sequestration and storage is an ecosystem service supplied by forests, and is of increasing importance in the context of mitigation of global climate change. Forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalizations, represent a risk to the efficiency of carbon sequestration as they may greatly reduce the amount of the living biomass in forests.

  5. 14. Management and site conditions drive carbon dynamics of Forest understory vegetation

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Emily Delin; [2021]
    Keywords : carbon sequestration; forest floor vegetation; ground vegetation; mixed model; Sweden;

    Abstract : The forest understory vegetation is largely disregarded in studies of carbon sequestration despite notable contribution to storage and cycling in the ecosystem. In addition to already lacking knowledge on this pool independently, further uncertainty and change is introduced by forest management and the changing climate. READ MORE

  6. 15. Climate mitigation potential of the Swedish forest under different forest management regimes and levels of substitution effect

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Kristian Tufvesson; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; forest management; scenario analysis; climate mitigation; sequestration; substitution;

    Abstract : The Swedish forest is currently being debated as to how it should be managed to provide climate mitigation. Forest management can contribute to climate mitigation in mainly two ways. READ MORE
