  1. 1. Bearing the brunt of warming: Interactions between carbon and hydrology in northern Sweden

    Författare :Pearl MZOBE; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dissoved organic carbon DOC ; carbon flux; permafrost thaw; hydrological connectivity; GIS analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Climate modelling studies indicate that subarctic ecosystems are predicted to show some of the earliest responses to climate change. The predicted temperature and precipitation changes have implications for the carbon biogeochemical cycle with ancillary effects in permafrost soils, vegetation, and stream networks. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Grow with the flow : Hydrological controls of riparian vegetation in boreal stream networks

    Författare :Lenka Kuglerová; Roland Jansson; Hjalmar Laudon; Birgitta Malm-Renöfält; John Stella; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forest; channelization; groundwater; Krycklan catchment; liverworts; mosses; riparian buffers; riparian vegetation; river restoration; species richness; stream network; stream size; vascular plants;

    Sammanfattning : What drives species diversity across landscapes is one of the most fundamental questions in ecology. Further, understanding the mechanisms underlying species diversity patterns is important not only for forming and challenging ecological theories but also essential for appropriate landscape management and effective nature conservation.

  4. 3. Tracing water transport pathways in the coupled ocean-atmosphere system

    Författare :Dipanjan Dey; Kristofer Döös; Aitor Aldama Campino; David Ferreira; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrological cycle; inter-ocean atmospheric water transport; water-mass conservation; atmospheric water trajectories; overturning water-mass stream functions; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Sammanfattning : Water is the most precious substance on the Earth and thus it is important to know how it moves around and is recycled.This knowledge will be useful to formulate educated future strategies about water usage in society and also to understand the near-surface salinity contrasts in the world ocean.

  5. 4. The role of the hydrological cycle in forest ecosystems : flow path, nutrient cycling and water-carbon interaction

    Författare :Yanzi Yan; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flow path; DOC concentration; groundwater; photosynthesis; Amazon rainforest; catchment geomorphology;

    Sammanfattning : Forest ecosystems, covering over a third of land on the Earth, play a significant role in the global hydrological cycle, and influence soil erosion and climate change. However, the distribution, movements, quality of water, and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems are not well understood yet. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hydrogeochemical effects of hydropower regulation on river-aquifer continuum in boreal rivers

    Författare :Dmytro Siergieiev; Hjalmar Laudon; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geochemistry; hyporheic zone; hydrology; riparian zone; Element transport; Lule River; Kalix RIver; Northern Sweden; Earth sciences; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Sammanfattning : Hydropower infrastructure affects many large rivers worldwide, threatening riverine and coastal ecosystems by fragmenting flow, disturbing landscapes and water retention and altering sedimentation and primary production. This thesis investigated major impacts of hydropower regulation on hydrological and geochemical processes in large boreal rivers. LÄS MER
