11. Biogeochemical processes in forest riparian zones : conceptualizing function and heterogeneity in boreal catchments
Sammanfattning : The area of interaction between terrestrial and aquatic environments, i.e. the riparian zone (RZ), has long been recognized as an important landscape feature from both scientific and management perspectives. Surface water quality is to a great extent regulated by substances exported from RZs. LÄS MER
12. Groundwater connections between the boreal landscape and its headwater streams: the role of discrete riparian inflow points (DRIPs)
Sammanfattning : River networks connect the Swedish boreal landscape with the Baltic Sea. Groundwater provides a majority of the river water, and therefore it is important to understand the mechanisms of groundwater-stream interactions. The riparian zone, or near stream area, is an important terrestrial interface where groundwater becomes stream water. LÄS MER
13. Fine stream wood : effects on drift and brown trout (Salmo trutta) growth and behaviour
Sammanfattning : Stream ecosystems and their riparian zones have previously been regarded as two different ecosystems, linked through numerous reciprocal subsidies. Today, ecologists agree that the stream and the riparian zone should be regarded as one system, the stream-riparian ecosystem, which is characterised largely by the subsidies between land and water.

14. The potential of an unmanned aircraft system for surveying lake and river vegetation
Sammanfattning : Vegetation in and along aquatic systems has important regulatory and ecological functions. Aquatic vegetation is also frequently used as an indicator of environmental conditions. To enhance our knowledge of the complex natural processes in the littoral zone, i.e. LÄS MER
15. Conceptualizing catchment processes affecting stream chemistry : from basic understanding to practical applications
Sammanfattning : Maintaining good surface water quality is recognized as one of the greatest challenges for future generations. In northern-latitudes, it is predicted that aquatic ecosystems may experience a large climatic change. LÄS MER
