1. 21. The bzzzt of frirends. Interspecific competition in Arctic plants for pollination services.

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Malin Olsson; [2023-06-27]
   Keywords : the Arctic; pollinator networks; competition; autonomous selfing; Arktis; pollinationsnätverk; konkurrens; autonom självpollinering;

   Abstract : The Arctic has a harsh environment that is challenging for the flora and fauna that inhabits the region. The ruling abiotic factors of the region results is a low species richness that creates a potential challenge for the region’s plant species. READ MORE

3. 22. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
   Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

   Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

4. 23. How does grazing and burning affect the occurrence and development of vascular plants?

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Felicia Ivarsson; [2023-02-17]
   Keywords : Keywords: burning; grazing; plot; restoration; plant; flower;

   Abstract : Grazing and burning are disturbances that can be used for management of landscapes that are in need of restoration. When applying these disturbances, you can create a more diverse flora and fauna and control the grazing pressure from domestic cattle. READ MORE

5. 24. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

6. 25. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. READ MORE
