   Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

   Keywords : fens; bogs; fen; bog; peatland; peatlands; mire; mires; classification; definition; kärr; mosse; torvmark; myr; klassificering; definition;

   Abstract : Disagreements on how fens and bogs are defined warrants an evaluation of how researchers classify these habitats. Ongoing work with a new typology for ecosystems creates an urgency to understand the classification in the field. READ MORE

4. 3. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex

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

   Author : Nils Helge Havertz; [2023]
   Keywords : Microtopography modelling; Remote sensing; Boreal mixed mires; Object Based Image Analysis OBIA ; random forest RF ;

   Abstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

   Abstract : The purpose of this study is to analyze which variables influence the capercaillie’s (Tetrao urogallus) selection of lek sites in northern Sweden by using remote sensing data. The lek site is a crucial area for the species’ reproductive success. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluating DInSAR for measuring seasonal elevation dynamics at the Vissátvuopmi palsa mire complex in Northern Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : André Farjami; [2022-09-09]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : During recent years the palsa mires of Fennoscandia have reported to be undergoing extensive lateral degradation, and in a warming environment the palsa mires of Sweden among others are threatened to thaw completely by the end of this century. Since subarctic peatlands account for 30% of the global soil organic carbon storage, small degradation changes in these areas globally, can potentially change the greenhouse gas emissions on a worldwide scale.
