  1. 1. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Charlie van Houwelingen; Timothy Ley; [2021]
    Keywords : Coastal protection; nature-based solutions; salt marshes; salt meadows; sea level rise; wave damping; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE

  3. 2. Magma-Carbonate Interaction and CO2 Release: A Case Study from Carlingford Igneous Centre, Ireland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emelie Lagrosen; [2020]
    Keywords : Magma-carbonate interaction; CO2; calc-silicate; skarn; marble; Carlingford; SEM-EDX; XRF; LA-ICP-MS; Magma-karbonat-interaktion; CO2; kalk-silikat; skarn; marmor; Carlingford; SEM-EDX; XRF; LA-ICP-MS;

    Abstract : Magma which intrudes into carbonate rich crust, interacts with the carbonate in several ways, for example by contact metamorphism and formation of marble or by metasomatism resulting in calc-silicate skarn. These processes release volatiles, such as CO2, from the carbonate and might thus cause climate change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Orkidéer och förekomst av död ved i Jämtländska kalkbarrskogar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Linnea Edwang Stridbo; [2020]
    Keywords : biologisk mångfald; död ved; hävd; Jämtland; kalkbarrskog; markfukt; orkidéer; skogsbete;

    Abstract : Nordiska kalkbarrskogar har en karaktär och biologisk mångfald som väsentligen skiljer sig från kalkbarrskogar i övriga Europa. De kan vara mycket artrika och hysa ovanliga och rödlistade arter såsom orkidéer. READ MORE

  5. 4. Romsugning i Alterälven för att utreda sikens lekhabitatpreferenser

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Simon Sundberg; [2019]
    Keywords : sik; lekhabitat; romsugning;

    Abstract : Syftet med det här arbetet har varit att utreda sikens lekhabitatpreferenser i Alterälven i avseende på strömförhållanden, djup och bottensubstrat genom romsugning med en vattenpump. Romsugning har inte använts i någon större utsträckning i Sverige tidigare och syftet har därför även varit att utvärdera metoden för framtida studier. READ MORE

  6. 5. The relative importance of beavers (Castor fiber) and browsers on the recruitment of broad-leaved trees in riparian areas

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Matilda Karlsson; [2019]
    Keywords : beaver; Castor fiber; ungulates; herbivory; broad-leaved; riparian; conservation management;

    Abstract : Managed forest landscapes in Sweden are dominated by boreal coniferous forest and are deficient in broad-leaved trees. Both beavers (Castor fiber) and ungulate browsers prefer broad-leaved trees to conifers, and the interaction between multiple herbivores may have a considerable impact on the recruitment of deciduous trees in riparian areas.
