1. Consequences of alternative forest management in riparian buffer zones : a GIS analysis
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : With increasing pressure from policymakers and the general public to conduct alternative forest management throughout the European Union (EU), Sweden needs to find ways to best prioritize the implementation of this alternative management. Alternative management is a term used to describe alternative management methods to clear-cut rotation forestry and can include silvicultural methods such as continuous cover forestry, management increasing proportion tree diversity and presence of broadleaves, and extended rotation lengths.

2. Major forest companies and owner associations interpretation of policies and certification programs regarding riparian buffer zones
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : Human intervention in forests such as clearcut forestry have a negative impact on water quality and biodiversity. To maintain water quality and its biological values a commonly used method is to leave trees and shrubs closest to the water, in so called a buffer zone. LÄS MER
3. Towards climate optimised riparian buffer zones in boreal forests
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : Boreal forests have the potential to mitigate the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. However, forestry alters the soil biogeochemical processes which can cause an increase in GHG emissions from nearby water bodies, soil and vegetation. LÄS MER
4. Riparian buffer zones in agricultural landscapes : Their status today and their future as an ecological tool in Sweden
Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitetSammanfattning : The application of intensive farming and cultivation practices, resulting in large-scale modification of the hydrology of streams and rivers and of the natural vegetation, has increased the need to find ways to mitigate the negative impact of this habitat degradation. Suitable design and creation of riparian buffer zones in agriculture areas, is by many considered the best remedial measure. LÄS MER
5. Effekten av kantzoners bredd på terrestra evertebraters nedfall till skogliga vattendrag
Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)Sammanfattning : Kantzoner längst vattendrag i skogen är en komplex och artrik miljö som är av stor vikt för flertalet arter. Ett stort hot mot kantzoner är skogsindustrin och främst kalavverkning som kan ha en negativ effekt på hela ekosystem. Det finns idag ingen lag som kräver att kantzoner längst vattendrag bevaras med det rekommenderas. LÄS MER
