  1. 16. Estimating CO2 evasion from streams connected to a boreal lake : comparing three different methods

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Šárka Okrouhlíková; [2012]
    Keywords : Evasion; CO2; Boreal; Streams;

    Abstract : There are different reservoirs of Carbon (C) on Earth and these reservoirs are closely linked to each other by the transport of C across different interfaces. The freshwater environment is one of the interfaces and an active component of the global C cycle. READ MORE

  3. 17. Variability of intermittent headwater streams in boreal landscape : Influence of different discharge conditions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Tum Nhim; [2012]
    Keywords : Dynamic stream network; intermittent streams; headwater stream; stream heads; wetness conditions; streamflow;

    Abstract : Dynamic expansions and contractions of stream networks can play an important role for hydrologic processes as they can connect different parts of the landscape to the stream channels. However, we know little about the temporal and spatial variations of stream networks during different flow and wetness conditions. READ MORE

  4. 18. Spatial and temporal mapping of shallow groundwater tables in the riparian zone of a Swedish headwater catchment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Eva Hellstrand; [2012]
    Keywords : Riparian zone; recharge area; shallow groundwater tables; GIS; terrain analysis;

    Abstract : Understanding the hydrology of the riparian zone in a catchment can be an important prerequisite for determining solute loads and concentrations in streams. The riparian zone is the transition zone between surrounding landscape and an open water stream. READ MORE

  5. 19. Ligger bäckarna rätt i kartan?

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Dennis Jonsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Kvävegödsling; Kväveutlakning; Areralavvikelse;

    Abstract : “Are the headwaters streams at the right position in the map” is a study that has been performed on behalf of Holmen Forest, region Örnsköldsvik. This study will be the basis for deciding if the Hydrology Layer Property map or Holmen Forest map will be used for planning nitrogen fertilization in forestry. READ MORE

  6. 20. Estimating soil organic carbon from soils to the sea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Ana R.A. Saores; [2011]
    Keywords : TOC; DOC; organic carbon; headwater catchments; TOC losses;

    Abstract : Carbon lateral exports from terrestrial soils to the water conduit have been recently recognized as important components of global C budgets. These fluxes play also a major role in several processes within freshwaters that are important for biodiversity and human health. READ MORE
