  1. 1. Greenhouse gas emissions and carbon burial in a small pond

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Carlson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pond; greenhouse gas; carbon dioxide; methane; nitrous oxide; flux; ebullition; carbon burial; Damm; växthusgas; koldioxid; metan; lustgas; flöde; ebullition; kolbindning;

    Abstract : There are a lot of uncertainties when it comes to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which affects society’s ability to effectively respond to climate change. Small ponds have been found to potentially play a large role in global warming. READ MORE

  3. 2. Drivers of decomposition across Sphagnum bog margins

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Emil Nordström; [2022]
    Keywords : Peatlands; tea bag index; edge effects; carbon storage; carbon sequestration; waterlogging; Torvmark; kanteffekter; kollagring; koldioxidbindning;

    Abstract : Peatlands provide multiple ecosystem services, including extensive carbon sequestration and storage, yet many peatlands have been degraded or destroyed. Peatlands carbon storage capacity is connected to inherently low decomposition rates, causing the build-up of organic matter.

  4. 3. Organic carbon getting buried deep: A study on a subtropical reservoir and comparisonwith a chain of reservoirs.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Emma Åkerman Fulford; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are widely known to have damaging effects on the world’s environment. In the search for green energy, recent studies propose that hydropower, which is considered a renewable source of energy, contribute significantly to the emissions of carbon dioxide and in particular methane gas to the atmosphere.

  5. 4. Spatiotemporal reconstructions of black carbon, organic matter and heavy metals in coastal records of south-west Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Marcus Rudolf; [2016]
    Keywords : organic matter; spheroidal carbonaceous particles; black carbon; geology; physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; heavy metals; coastal sediments; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study presents reconstructions of black carbon (BC), including spheroidal and amorphous carbonaceous particles (SCP and ACP), organic matter (OM; total organic carbon, TOC; total nitrogen, TN; total sulfur, TS), and heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, As and Hg) in coastal sediments off the south-west coast of Sweden. Sediment records from eight stations along a north-south transect off the south-west of Sweden were retrieved. READ MORE

  6. 5. Neolithic farmers in Poland - A study of stable isotopes in human bones and teeth from Kichary Nowe in the south of Poland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Arkeologiska forskningslaboratoriet

    Author : Staffan Lundmark; [2016]
    Keywords : stable isotopic study; archaeological science; Neolithic in southern Poland; Kichary Nowe 2 grave-field; diet study on Neolithic bone material; stabila isotoper studie; laborativ arkeologi; neolitikum i södra Polen; Kichary Nowe 2 gravfält; dietstudie på neolitiskt benmaterial;

    Abstract : The diet of the Stone Age cultures is a strong indicator to the social group, thus farmers and hunters can be distinguished through their diet. There is well-preserved and well excavated Polish skeletal material available for such a study but the material has not previously been subject to stable isotopes analyses and therefore the questions of diets has not been answered.
