1. 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
2. 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
3. Sediment transport in small streams is related to riparian buffer width : a comparison between wide and narrow riparian buffers
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : This study aims to provide information about how different widths of riparian buffers affect the quantity and quality of sediments transported in a small stream after a clear – cut harvest. Small streams have critical influences on downstream rivers and excessive transported sediments can have large negative effects on the aquatic system. LÄS MER
4. 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
5. Dynamic streams in a pre-alpine catchment
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : This thesis aims to investigate the factors controlling the dynamics of temporary streams, i.e., streams that do not flow throughout the year. Temporary stream hydrology is a relative unexplored scientific field. LÄS MER
