  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.

  3. 2. Långsiktig torvnedbrytning för olika vegetationstyper på dikad skogsmark

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Carl Carlsson; Sofie Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : växthusgaser; torvmark; dikning;

    Abstract : Skogsklädda torvmarker i Sverige dikades i stor utsträckning mellan 1930- och 1980-talen i syfte att höja virkesproduktionen. Till följd av klimatproblemet har intresset för dikade torvmarkers bidrag till växthusgasutsläppen ökat under de senaste decennierna. READ MORE

  4. 3. In-Situ Gold Resource Estimation Using Satellite Remote Sensing and Machine Learning in Defunct Tailing Storage Facilities (South Africa)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shenelle Agard; [2023]
    Keywords : tailings storage facility; critical raw materials; machine learning; mine valorisation;

    Abstract : The mining industry generates billions of tonnes of waste annually, which is often stored in tailings storage facilities (TSF). This waste is generated from the extraction of ore from surface or underground mines, as well as from metallurgical processing and low-grade stockpiles. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biogeochemistry and Peat Properties of Restored Peatlands

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

    Author : Pelle Belaieff Kronborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Drainage; Bulk density; Nitrogen; Carbon; Stable isotopes;

    Abstract : Globally, peatlands comprise the most important soil organic carbon pool storing approximately one third of all terrestrial soil carbon. Drainage can turn peatlands to net sources of carbon dioxide. Peatlands have historically been drained to increase the productivity of agriculture and forestry. READ MORE

  6. 5. Impacts of peatland drainage on soil properties : a study of drainage effects on boreal peatlands in northern Sweden

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

    Author : Frederika Klaus; [2022]
    Keywords : Boreal peatlands; Bulk density; Carbon; Greenhouse gas; Isotopes; Nitrogen; Organic matter; Peatlands; Peatland drainage; Peatland restoration;

    Abstract : Peatlands cover approximately 3% of the terrestrial surface on Earth and perform several important ecosystem functions, such as carbon storage and water retention. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, approximately 2 million hectares of peatlands in Sweden were drained to manage the land for forestry and agriculture. READ MORE
