  1. 11. Impact of fire and frost drought events on vegetation greenness and albedo in Subarctic Scandinavia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Elin Backström; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation Greenness; Albedo; Fire; Frost Drought; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : With climate change, the frequency in climate extremes such as drought, heavy rainfalls, and extreme temperatures is predicted to increase. These extremes can potentially stress and damage vegetation over large areas, leading to altered carbon cycle, vegetation greenness, albedo, and shifted species composition. READ MORE

  3. 12. Impact of management intensity on the plant diversity and soil carbon of grasslands in different agro-climatic regions of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Hugo Blomberg; [2021]
    Keywords : plant species richness; pasture; meadow; soil C; subarctic; humid continental; oceanic; ploughing; fertilization; temperate; continental;

    Abstract : Biodiversity loss is a global issue and within the EU and Sweden, funding is available for practices that can enhance biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands, either cut or grazed, have proven to host a wide range of biodiversity that can serve important eco-system functions. READ MORE

  4. 13. Photo-chemical reactivity of dissolved organic carbon in subarctic lakes from northern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hani Younes; [2020]
    Keywords : Photo-reactivity; DOM; subarctic lakes; EEM-PARAFAC. Brownification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the major absorber of sunlight in most natural waters and a critical component of the carbon cycle in aquatic systems. The photochemical decomposition of DOM can have a significant impact on the landscape-atmosphere carbon exchange. READ MORE

  5. 14. Effekter av klimatförändringar på växtplankton i subarktiska och alpina sjöar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Matilda Lundström; [2019]
    Keywords : Fosfor; Växtplanktonbiomassa; Diversitet; Oligotrofiering; Temperatur;

    Abstract : The aim of this report was to determine how the climate change affects the ecosystems in alpine and subarctic lakes in Sweden. This was done by analyzing data from environmental monitoring of 14 subarctic and alpine lakes that was part of the national time-series lake monitoring program. READ MORE

  6. 15. Green Roof Performance in Cold Climates : A study on how different plants suited for the subarctic climate in northernSweden affects the performances of green roofs

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jonathan Hjelm; [2019]
    Keywords : Stormwater; Green roofs; Cold climate; Stormwater management;

    Abstract : Increased urbanization leads to an increasing amount of impervious surfaces and a decrease ofthe natural hydrological function. Urban stormwater does thus risk to create high surface flows which could damage the receiving water bodies (e.g. erosion) or the urban area itself (flooding). READ MORE
