1. 1. Dynamic minimum flows in the bypass reach of Juktån : A post-implementation evaluation of the effects on riparian vegetation

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Walter Gezelius Gezelius; [2024]
   Keywords : Restoration; Environmental flows; riparian vegetation;

   Abstract : The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the effects of the restoration efforts in Juktån on the plant species richness and composition, vegetation zonation and soil composition. The restoration involved implementation of a dynamic flow, in addition to hydro-geomorphological alterations. READ MORE

3. 2. Sensitivity of Norway Spruce (Picea abies) to inundation.

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Whitney Cleopatra Vlahakis; [2023]
   Keywords : Inundation; riparian zone; spruce seedlings; restoration; mortality;

   Abstract : Alteration of river flow regimes due to dams result in modifications of riparian ecosystem, with impacts on vegetation, landforms, and habitats. A key characteristic that differentiates riparian zones from adjacent aquatic and terrestrial environments is the event of periodic flooding and water logging. READ MORE

4. 3. Towards climate optimised riparian buffer zones in boreal forests

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Alice Falk; [2022]
   Keywords : Forestry; Biogeochemical hotspots; Carbon dioxide; Methane;

   Abstract : Boreal forests have the potential to mitigate the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. However, forestry alters the soil biogeochemical processes which can cause an increase in GHG emissions from nearby water bodies, soil and vegetation. READ MORE

5. 4. Go with the flow - can environmental flows save us? : A study of the flow patterns in Bredforsen and possibilities for the future

6. 5. Riparian buffer zones in agricultural landscapes : Their status today and their future as an ecological tool in Sweden

   University essay from Karlstads universitet

   Author : Mikaela Ignatiou Hadjicharalambous; [2021]
   Keywords : Riparian buffer zones; agriculture lanscapes; ecological tool; streams; kantzoner; lantbrukslandskap; ekologisk vertyg; vattendrag;

   Abstract : The application of intensive farming and cultivation practices, resulting in large-scale modification of the hydrology of streams and rivers and of the natural vegetation, has increased the need to find ways to mitigate the negative impact of this habitat degradation. Suitable design and creation of riparian buffer zones in agriculture areas, is by many considered the best remedial measure. READ MORE
