  1. 11. Effects of afforestation of agricultural land on the water balance in Ethiopian Highlands

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Mwala Silumesi; [2022]
    Keywords : acacia decurrens; aquaCrop Mode; afforestation; water balance; teff;

    Abstract : In this study, I examined how land use change affects the partitioning of water and how soil-plant interactions are impacted by yearly rainfall at a stand scale. Even though many studies have been conducted to evaluate the extent of land use change and the economic impacts, few have attempted to study the rapid farmer-driven afforestation with Acacia decurrens and also disaggregated dry, normal and dry seasons at stand scale.

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. Assessment of Groundwater Flow to Lake Bolmen

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Massimiliano Favaro; [2021]
    Keywords : Groundwater; modelling; MODFLOW; GMS; hydrogeology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This work reports the research and findings concerning the processes of groundwater flow and distribution to lake Bolmen in the Småland region, Sweden. The watershed of Bolmen is of high interest since it provides water for drinking and energy purposes, representing a resource of notable importance for the society of southern Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 14. Assessment of the Contribution of Groundwater Flow and Surface Flow from Bolmsö Island to Lake Bolmen, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Angelique Uwera; [2020]
    Keywords : Groundwater; Surface water; GMS-MODFLOW; Bolmsö Island; Lake Bolmen; Brownification.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The increase of brownification in surface waters has been a problem for rivers and lakes from the northern hemisphere. The main factors of this water brownification are the increase of dissolved organic matter and iron in water bodies. READ MORE

  6. 15. Effects of afforestation and crop systems on the water balance in the highlands of Ethiopia

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Rebecca Naomi Ter Borg; [2020]
    Keywords : Acacia decurrens; landscape water balance; sediment yield; soil and water conservation; SWAT modelling; water balance partitioning;

    Abstract : In the Upper Blue Nile Basin land use is rapidly changing due to agricultural development and intensification with potential effects on the water availability both up- and downstream. This study is aimed to explore the impact of agricultural land use change on a landscape water balance. READ MORE
