  1. 21. Comparison of plant species communities in meadows of the nature reserve "Bodenmöser" from 1987 to 2014

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

    Author : Katharina Viebranz; [2015]
    Keywords : plant ecology; indicator values; plant species composition; wet meadows; detrended correspondance analysis;

    Abstract : This master thesis compares plant species communities which were conducted within the same area at thre different times. The study area of this thesis is located in the southeast of the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg close to the town Isny im Allgäu. READ MORE

  3. 22. Variability of GHG emissions from emergent aquatic macrophytes in mixed boreal and Equisetum dominated communities

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Nina Marliden; [2015]
    Keywords : plant-mediated; GHG flux; methane; carbon dioxide; nitrous oxide; Equisetum fluviatile; wetland; lake;

    Abstract : Plants (macrophytes) growing in lake and wetland sediments are known mediators of greenhouse gases (GHG), specifically methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Current studies have emphasized the potential risk of underestimation regarding emissions of plant-mediated GHGs from terrestrial systems including lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies.

  4. 23. Modelling vegetation dynamics and carbon fluxes in a high Arctic mire

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Laura Reinelt; [2015]
    Keywords : methane dynamics; biogeochemical cycling; vegetation dynamics; ecosystem modelling; LPJ-GUESS; geography; physical geography; high Arctic wetland; Zackenberg; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : High Arctic wetlands are an important component of the global climate system. Nevertheless estimations of their expected response to climate change and associated climate-feedbacks have large uncertainties. Improving models for vegetation and carbon dynamics of ecosystems is an important step towards making predictions more accurate. READ MORE

  5. 24. Characterization of plant-water interaction in Kilombero River Catchment in Tanzania using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Michael Getachew Minas; [2014]
    Keywords : NDVI; NDVI classes; areal coverage; time-series analyses; hydrological data;

    Abstract : Remote-sensing based indices such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index have yielded valuable information about plant health. As the availability of water is one of the factors that controls plant's response to their environment, it is possible to indirectly studythe hydrology of an area via vegetation indices. READ MORE

  6. 25. Statkraft Hydro Power Plants – Oil Spills and Valuable Areas

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för ekoteknik och hållbart byggande

    Author : Klaus Enzenhofer; [2014]
    Keywords : Statkraft; Oil spills; ESI; river shoreline; hydropower;

    Abstract : Currently, Statkraft knows that they have oil spills from their hydraulic system, but the problem is that the amount of the oil spilled is not clear. Furthermore, Statkraft is missing a tool that can be used when decisions need to be made on what power plants that should be prioritized to be renovated next or which oil system that they should be switched to.
