  3. 2. What has happened on Swedish mires? The effects of drainage on vegetation changes over recent decades

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Anna Ljungqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : peatlands; mires; bogs; fens; sweden; vegetation; plant ecology; time trend; data; nfi; nils; climate change; global warming; mosses; sphagnum; afforestation; trees; wetland; presence; coverage; drainage; ditch;

    Abstract : As they are not only the home of many threatened species, but also one of the main actors in the global carbon cycle, peatlands are highly valuable ecosystems. Human disturbance, in particular drainage for forestry and agriculture, has substantially changed the state of the world’s peatlands and will continue to do so. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of vegetation and nutrients on methanotroph abundance and methane emissions from constructed wetlands

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

    Author : Klara Yngve; [2022]
