  1. 1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2024]
    Keywords : artificial waterways; riparian zone; novel ecosystems; ; forestry; ditch network maintenance; species richness; hill-diversity; drainage ditches; coarse woody debris; ditch cleaning; ecology;

    Abstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

  2. 2. THE FIRST ACTIVE ACID SULFATE SOIL FOUND OUTSIDE THE BALTIC BASIN, IN VISKA VALLEY WEST COAST OF SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Bergström; [2023-09-15]
    Keywords : Acid sulfate soil; AS soil; ERT measurements; resistivity; Baltic basin; Swedish west coast; acidification; Tapes transgression;

    Abstract : Acid sulfate (AS) soils are naturally formed but are responsible for environmental problem due to its low pH. Drainage of active AS soils can lead to mobilization of harmful metals and a severe pH drop in nearby aquatic environments, which in turn may harm the ecological conditions. READ MORE

  4. 4. Storm Water Management with BlueGreen Infrastructure in Urban Planning : A case-study in Krokom, Sweden

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

    Author : Lena Suleiko Allansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable drainage system SuDS ; nature-based solutions; ecosystem services; urban water management; climate change adaption;

    Abstract : As changing climate and growing urban populations present new challenges for managing both the quantity and the quality of storm waterin cities, nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure arebecoming widely considered as an alternative to grey infrastructure. The benefits, above providing storm water management at a lower cost, are increased ecosystem services. READ MORE

  5. 5. Biokolets påverkan på dagvattenkvaliteten i regnbäddar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Maja Hammarstedt; Wilma Insulander; [2023]
    Keywords : Biokol; dagvatten; regnbädd; vattenkvalitet; föroreningar; StormTac; dagvattenrening; näringsämnen; växtbädd; urban miljö;

    Abstract : Klimatförändringar och en större andel hårdgjorda ytor i städerna bidrar till en ökning av dagvatten som måste ledas bort. För att förhindra överbelastade VA-ledningar behöver dagvattnet fördröjas inom avrinningsområdet. En stor del av dagvattnet innehåller föroreningar från bland annat vägar, parker och industriområden.
