  1. 21. Quantification of peat volume change in Northern peatlands : A study of mires capacity to swell and shrink and its relation to mire age and land management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Anna Engman; [2022]
    Keywords : peatland; peat volume change; ecohydrology; specific storage; peatland age; torvmark; myr; torvvolymförändring; ekohydrologi; specifik magasinkoefficient; ålder;

    Abstract : Peatlands are important ecosystems that provide ecohydrological functions related to carbon storage and cycling, water quality, flood attenuation, and groundwater recharge. One key characteristic that gives peatlands these functions is the capacity to swell and shrink upon wetting and drying, commonly referred to as peat volume change. READ MORE

  4. 23. Topographic controls of drought impact on Swedish primary forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Johanna Asch; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem analysis; primary forest; boreal forest; drought impact; topography; drainage; climate change; random forest; terrain index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. READ MORE

  5. 24. Management and site conditions drive carbon dynamics of Forest understory vegetation

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Emily Delin; [2021]
    Keywords : carbon sequestration; forest floor vegetation; ground vegetation; mixed model; Sweden;

    Abstract : The forest understory vegetation is largely disregarded in studies of carbon sequestration despite notable contribution to storage and cycling in the ecosystem. In addition to already lacking knowledge on this pool independently, further uncertainty and change is introduced by forest management and the changing climate. READ MORE
