2. The Influence of Macrophytes on Aquatic Microclimate
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och botanik; Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning (BIG)Abstract : How terrestrial vegetation influences microclimate and what effects this has on associated ecosystems is well studied, but it is less known if and how aquatic macrophytes affect their microclimate. In this study I therefore aim to investigate the question of how aquatic macrophytes influence their microclimate, and how these effects in turn may affect associated aquatic organisms and ecosystems.

5. An analysis of the understanding of maintenance of nature-based solutions for urban stormwater management
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Urban stormwater management is necessary to protect human life and society from the dangers and damages associated with flooding from extreme weather events. Conventional measures of stormwater management utilise grey infrastructure to convey runoff away from urban areas, but due to increasing urbanization, aging of urban infrastructure, climatic variability, and flooding due to extreme weather events, these measures are often no longer sufficient.
