1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

2. Controls over stream temperature in a northern boreal landscape
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : With widespread increases in air temperature, it is expected that the temperature of aquatic ecosystems will also increase, especially at high latitudes. Warmer streams and rivers could have severe, direct impacts on cold-adapted aquatic fauna but may also indirectly influence species by reducing the amount of suitable habitat. LÄS MER
3. Riparian vegetation ecology : an observational study into the effects of forest management on understory vegetation communities along boreal headwaters
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : Riparian forests along headwater streams have long been recognized for their role as an interface between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. The over- and understory vegetation performs essential ecological and biochemical functions, which are important for stream functions. LÄS MER
4. Dispersal and habitat use of juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) following egg stocking : -A case study in the river Rotälven, Sweden
Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)Sammanfattning : Egg stocking in rivers and streams is a common measure to support and re-introduce salmonid populations. To ensure the success of egg stocking programs, knowledge of the early life stages of juveniles including dispersal ability and habitat preferences of fry is a prerequisite. LÄS MER
5. Forest Ditches As Habitat For Aquatic Macroinvertebrate In Boreal Landscapes
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Large areas of northern Sweden have been ditched to promote forest growth by draining wet soils and peatlands. These ditches have greatly added to length of Sweden’s stream and river network, but the ecological properties of these man-made aquatic environments is poorly understood. LÄS MER
