2. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. READ MORE

University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : En betydande areal torvtäckt mark dikades i Sverige under första halvan av 1900-talet i syfte att omvandla myrimpediment till produktiv skogsmark. Många av dikena hos markvärden för denna studie, Svenska Cellulosa AB (SCA), är nu i behov av rensning för att produktionen skall bibehållas. Rensning medför också allvarliga miljörisker. READ MORE
