1. Peatland Bryophytes in a Changing Environment : Ecophysiological Traits and Ecosystem Function
Sammanfattning : Peatlands are peat forming ecosystems in which not fully decomposed plant material builds up the soil. The sequestration of carbon into peat is mainly associated with the bryophyte genus Sphagnum (peat mosses), which dominate and literally form most peatlands. LÄS MER
2. Effects of climate change on boreal wetland and riparian vegetation
Sammanfattning : Models of climate change predict that temperature will increase during the 21th century and the largest warming will take place at high northern latitudes. In addition to warming, predictions for northern Europe include increased annual precipitation and a higher proportion of the precipitation during winter falling as rain instead of snow. LÄS MER
3. Remote sensing for detection of landscape form and function of the Okavango Delta, Botswana
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Vegetation patterns and processes in riparian landscapes
Sammanfattning : The objective of this study was to increase understanding of the processes structuring and controlling the species richness of riparian plant communities. In particular, I examined the unimodal relationship, found in many rivers, between plant species richness and location along the river corridor. LÄS MER
5. Impacts of climate oscillation on precipitation and river flows of small scale river basins in Eastern Northeast Brazil
Sammanfattning : The Northeast region of Brazil is one of the most susceptible parts of the country to the effects of climate variability leading to severe droughts or extreme floods. Indeed, drought is a major issue due to a large semiarid area that covers 53% of the region, which determines the main climate characteristics of this region. LÄS MER
