1. Headfirst into shallow water - Wetland restoration and its contribution to the Habitats Directive
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Located in the borderland between aquatic and terrestrial environments, the wetlands cover a wide spectrum of habitats and enable living standards for a great variety of organisms. Although important habitats, a great extent of the original wetlands have disappeared in Europe and Sweden due to anthropogenic disturbances. READ MORE

2. Influence of different carbon sources on methane fluxes in sediments of eelgrass beds and unvegetated areas: a case study on the Swedish west coast
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : One of the best ways to mitigate climate change is through natural carbon sequestration. An efficient way to mitigate climate change is through carbon sequestration from coastal habitats. READ MORE

3. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : 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. Trends in mountain birch seed abundance and its relation to temperature and moth abundance: a ten-year study from Swedish Lapland
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : Boreal forest is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Being one of the most ubiquitous and coldtolerant tree species in Sweden, the mountain birch forms a unique deciduous treeline and marks the forest-tundra ecotone. READ MORE

5. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikAbstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE
