  1. 11. Stakeholder and Economic Valuation Dynamics of Land-based Biological Carbon Sequestration Activity

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Cecep Hermawan; [2023]
    Keywords : economic valuation; restoration; stakeholders; terrestrial ecosystem; coastal ecosystem; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : With a deforestation rate of 599,232 ha/year, the Indonesian government is pressured to bootstrap its ecosystem restoration process. The pressure also receives by the private sector to accelerate the process of their decarbonization, with the 2050 net-zero target as the main goal. READ MORE

  3. 12. Newly inundated forest landscapes - hotspots for mercury in water and benthic fauna

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

    Author : Kirstine Evald Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Wetland restoration; Inundation; Mercury cycling; Beaver impoundments; Aquatic biogeochemis-try;

    Abstract : Mercury (Hg) is a widespread contaminant in high-latitude aquatic ecosystems, where it can undergo microbial transfor-mation into toxic methylmercury (MeHg). Due to its chemical properties, MeHg tends to accumulate in the aquatic food chain and will eventually end up in predatory species at the top of the terrestrial food web. READ MORE

  4. 13. Global Warming Induced by Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a Had a Pronounced Impact on the Early Cretaceous Terrestrial Vegetation of Southern Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Paleobiologi

    Author : Marcos Amores; [2022]
    Keywords : palynology; spore-pollen; biostratigraphy; oceanic anoxic event 1a; high-latitude; Early Cretaceous;

    Abstract : The Mesozoic is punctuated by several rapid global warming events that are marked by the worldwide deposition of organic-rich marine sediments. These events, known as oceanic anoxic events (OAEs), are characterised by intervals where the worldwide carbon cycle suffers a disruption due to major palaeoceanographic and climatic shifts, leading to anoxic marine environments and the creation of black shales.

  5. 14. Wetland Precipitationsheds : Assessing the Potential Vulnerability of 40 RAMSAR Wetlands to Upwind Land Cover and Hydroclimatic Change

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Simon Felix Fahrländer; [2022]
    Keywords : Wetlands; precipitationsheds; moisture import; moisture tracking; Lagrangian moisture tracking; land-atmosphere feedback;

    Abstract : Wetland ecosystems play an important role in the global hydrologic cycle, and their hydrologicregime is a major factor for their general functioning (carbon, biodiversity, biogeochemicalcycle etc.). READ MORE

  6. 15. Distribution and transport of microplastics and metals in sewage sludge-amended agricultural soil : a Comparative study between microplastics copper, cadmium, and nickel

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Nora Ottander; [2022]
    Keywords : Bioturbation; advective transport; earthworm; Aporrectodea longa;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated the vertical transport of microplastics and metals in agricultural soil after sewage sludge application. Sewage sludge is commonly used in agriculture for adding nutrients and carbon to improve the soil quality. READ MORE
