1. 1. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; FLUXNET; Gross Primary Productivity; Ecosystem Respiration; Permafrost; Active Layer Thickness; Snow Depth; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

3. 2. Analysis of energy efficient heat and lighting systems in a subarctic greenhouse

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : William Sigvardsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy efficiency; Sub-arctic greenhouses; Energy measures; Greenhouse climate control; Greenhouse technology; CFD;

   Abstract : This report studies a subarctic greenhouse located in Nikkala, Sweden called Nikkala handelsträdgård. Through a visit to the greenhouse coupled with the creation of two simulation models this study investigates the differences in energy demand with water-carried and air-carried heating systems, high pressure sodium lights and Light emitting diode lights and insulation in parts of the greenhouse without a active cultivation.

4. 3. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling for streamflow measurements in subarctic climate

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Linus Nyström; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling) technology has been widely available and acknowledged as an instrument used for different types of flow measurement since 1990s, from small scale river measurements to larger ocean current mappings. This study was conducted by the author in cooperation with SWECO with the focus on smaller scale measurements especially on small natural watercourses in a sub-arctic climate with the purpose to examine if the ADCP technology can be used as a complement to the more classic methods for this type of flow measurements Current meter and Conductivity flow measurements.

5. 4. P-cycling in sub-Arctic lakes – the importance of sediment release and retention

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

   Author : Hanna Ravry; [2022]
   Keywords : phosphorus; sediment; oligotrophication;

   Abstract : Oligotrophication is generally caused by a decreased nutrient availability, usually due to phosphorous limitation. This is a phenomenon impacting the entire food web and at worst causing cascading alterations within an ecosystem. Lakes of the Northern Hemisphere have lately been documented to be subjected to oligotrophication (e.g. READ MORE

6. 5. Influence of permafrost disintegration on wetland carbon fluxes in Abisko, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Aida Esmailzadeh Davani; [2021]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Permafrost; CH4 flux; CO2 flux; Abisko; Wetlands; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. READ MORE
