1. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. LÄS MER
2. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. LÄS MER
3. Global Warming Induced by Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a Had a Pronounced Impact on the Early Cretaceous Terrestrial Vegetation of Southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/PaleobiologiSammanfattning : 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.

4. Wetland Precipitationsheds : Assessing the Potential Vulnerability of 40 RAMSAR Wetlands to Upwind Land Cover and Hydroclimatic Change
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : 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.). LÄS MER
5. SAVINGS OF MATERIAL RESOURCES AND CARBON EMISSIONS WHEN CONVERTING FOSSIL FUEL CAR TO ELECTRIC : A CASE STUDY FOR SWEDEN
Master-uppsats, KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL; KTH/ElkraftteknikSammanfattning : Transportation in Sweden currently accounts for one-third of domestic GHG emissions. Thereof more than 90 % are allocated to road traffic with passenger cars being the largest contributor. Hence, the Swedish government adopted stringent climate policies to cut transport emissionsby 70 % (compared to 2010) latest until 2030. LÄS MER
