    Keywords : tropical reservoirs; decomposition; autochthonous carbon; allochthonous carbon; tropical macrophytes; methanogenesis; tropiska vattenkraftsmagasin; metangasproduktion; autoktont OM; alloktont OM; tropiska makrofyter;

    Abstract : For a sustainable energy supply, it is of importance to be aware about the environmental impacts from the different energy sources. Hydroelectric reservoirs in tropical areas have been found to emit more greenhouse gases (GHG) than reservoirs from boreal regions. READ MORE

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Kirsi Mäkinen; [2009]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This paper explores freshwater reservoir greenhouse gas emissions from a policy perspective. Existing science on reservoir emissions indicates that reservoirs can emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases and this is of particular concern for tropical reservoirs. READ MORE
