  1. 16. Forest structure of Dalby Söderskog National Park : patterns of carbon storage in living and dead trees

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Kumetra Achuthan; [2021]
    Nyckelord :ash dieback disease; deadwood; Dutch elm disease; living tree volume; coarse woody debris; carbon stock and storage; pest invasions; temperate mixed broadleaved forest;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon sequestration and storage is an ecosystem service supplied by forests, and is of increasing importance in the context of mitigation of global climate change. Forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalizations, represent a risk to the efficiency of carbon sequestration as they may greatly reduce the amount of the living biomass in forests. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Advancing understanding of tropical forest carbon dynamics through improved allometric models for palms: A case study with Prestoea montana in Puerto

    Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Paschalis Chatzopoulos; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Above ground biomass; allometry; Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot; Palms;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical forests are major components of Earth’s carbon stocks, but their diversity and structural complexity pose major challenges for making accurate estimates of their above ground biomass (AGB). Palms, in particular, are prominent and unique components of many tropical forests that have anatomical and physiological differences from dicot trees which affect their height - diameter allometry and consequently, our ability to accurately estimate their AGB.

  4. 18. IKEA Land Use Footprint : Quantification of Carbon Emissions and Removals from Forest Lands, Plants and Wood Products

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Energiteknik

    Författare :Celia Cacho Salvador; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Accounting for carbon removals and reducing the carbon emissions related to the LULUCF sector has become a relevant target to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5ºC, in alignment with the Paris Agreement. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Impact of management intensity on the plant diversity and soil carbon of grasslands in different agro-climatic regions of Sweden

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Hugo Blomberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :plant species richness; pasture; meadow; soil C; subarctic; humid continental; oceanic; ploughing; fertilization; temperate; continental;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity loss is a global issue and within the EU and Sweden, funding is available for practices that can enhance biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands, either cut or grazed, have proven to host a wide range of biodiversity that can serve important eco-system functions. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Modelling the impacts of organic matter quality on soil carbon turnover and storage : continued testing of a novel dual-pore model against data collected from a long-term study site in Offer, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Mikael Sasha Dooha; [2021]
    Nyckelord :soil; soil organic matter; carbon; carbon sequestration; tillage; land-use; soil structure; porosity; modelling; humification;

    Sammanfattning : As we look for solutions to the worsening climate crisis, carbon sequestration has become a popular strategy to mitigate CO2 emissions. Carbon models are used to predict or emulate changes in future soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, but most fail to account for the influence of pore size on soil structure and SOC storage. LÄS MER
