1. 1. Influence of different carbon sources on methane fluxes in sediments of eelgrass beds and unvegetated areas: a case study on the Swedish west coast

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Hampus Holmberg; [2023-06-22]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : One of the best ways to mitigate climate change is through natural carbon sequestration. An efficient way to mitigate climate change is through carbon sequestration from coastal habitats. READ MORE

3. 2. Peatland restoration: A mossy affair? : The similarities of the vegetation communitiesbetween restored bogs and natural bogs.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Liesbeth van Ravenhorst; [2022]
   Keywords : Wetland; peatland; bog; vegetation composition; plant functional trait; environmental variable;

   Abstract : Peatlands function as important global carbon sinks as peatlands store 30% to 40% of the total soil carbon even though peatlands only cover 3% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. However, drainage activities have damaged the ecosystem and caused many peatlands to function as carbon sources instead. READ MORE

4. 3. 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 ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Patricija Marijauskaite; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Ecosystem modelling; LPJ-GUESS; Climate change; Forest sequestration; Land carbon sink; Norway spruce; Scot s pine; Silver birch; monoculture; silviculture; NPP; NBP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 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

5. 4. Assessment of how environmental variables and vegetation structure influence peatland carbon fluxes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Bernabé Ramírez; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Boreal peatlands are important ecosystems from a carbon balance perspective because they are natural carbon sinks as a result of millennia of peat formation. However, due to climate change, these ecosystems are susceptible to changes in hydrology and temperature. READ MORE

6. 5. Urbana kolsänkor : utformning av kolinlagrande vegetationsytor i staden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Emelie Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : landskapsarkitektur; kolsänka; kolinlagring; Uppsala; naturvägledning;

   Abstract : I ett föränderligt klimat behöver landskapsarkitekten verktyg för att genom planering, förvaltning och gestaltning åstadkomma hållbara stadsbyggnadslösningar. Trädens bidrag med ekosystemtjänster genom kolinlagring undersöks internationellt utifrån dess roll i klimatarbetet. READ MORE
