1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

2. Controls over stream temperature in a northern boreal landscape
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : With widespread increases in air temperature, it is expected that the temperature of aquatic ecosystems will also increase, especially at high latitudes. Warmer streams and rivers could have severe, direct impacts on cold-adapted aquatic fauna but may also indirectly influence species by reducing the amount of suitable habitat. READ MORE

3. Mercury in a Swedish landscape over 30 years : a thesis on mercury concentrations in different water-cathments in Krycklan and Degerö stormyr
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine trends in concentrations of total mercury (TotHg) and methylmer¬cury (MeHg) in water streams around Vindeln, Sweden, located northwest of Umeå. The relation¬ship between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and TotHg were also examined in this thesis. READ MORE

4. Groundwater modeling of Krycklan catchment and evaluation of the groundwater discharge distribution
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : This thesis aimed to evaluate the groundwater discharge distribution in the Krycklan catchment by developing a groundwater flow model using COMSOL Multiphysics and assuming a topography- controlled groundwater surface. Previous research has shown that the groundwater surface can be modeled as a subdued replica of the topography in humid climate regions where the permeability of the subsurface is low and where the groundwater surface is shallow.

5. Temporal Trends in Dissolved Inorganic Carbon in a Swedish Boreal Catchment
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Inland waters are important systems for transforming, storing and transporting carbon along the aquatic continuum, but also by emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. In light of the last decades observed increase in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in many inland waters across the northern hemisphere, a logical question arise whether other aquatic carbon species display similar trends.
