  1. 11. Peatland restoration: A mossy affair? : The similarities of the vegetation communitiesbetween restored bogs and natural bogs.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Liesbeth van Ravenhorst; [2022]
    Keywords : Wetland; peatland; bog; vegetation composition; plant functional trait; environmental variable;

    Abstract : Peatlands function as important global carbon sinks as peatlands store 30% to 40% of the total soil carbon even though peatlands only cover 3% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. However, drainage activities have damaged the ecosystem and caused many peatlands to function as carbon sources instead. READ MORE

  5. 14. Effects of past fragmentation and habitat loss and current management methods on the changes in vascular plant communities. : An evaluation of extinction debt in semi-natural grasslands in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Adina Sennblad; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Habitat loss and fragmentation are believed to be two of the main reasons for high extinction rates of species, resulting in decreased biodiversity. According to the island biogeography theory, the species richness in a patch, here a semi-natural grassland, is dependent on the landscape composition, and therefore changes in the landscape composition will result in changes in the species richness of the grassland.
