  2. 11. Modelling trade-offs between forest bioenergy and biodiversity

    Author : Xi Pang; Ulla Mörtberg; Karin Öhman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Abstract : Globally, biodiversity is declining due to loss, fragmentation and degradation of habitat, which undermines ecosystem functioning and therefore threatens also the ability of ecosystems to supply ecosystem services. Moreover, there is a need for adapting to climate change as well as securing the supply of energy, which have led to a shift in energy consumption from fossil fuel to renewables, especially biomass, which in turn put increasing pressure on ecosystems and biodiversity.

    Abstract : Globally, there is increasing awareness of the importance of applying circular economy principles to the management of organic waste streams through resource recovery. This is especially relevant in urban areas of low- and middle-income countries which are going to host a significant part of population growth over the next few decades. READ MORE

  5. 13. From words to action : Lessons from active stakeholder participation in water management

    Author : Frida Franzén; Berit Balfors; Monica Hammer; Newig Jens; Södertörns högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stakeholder participation; EU Water Framework Directive; eutrophication; catchment-based water management; agriculture.; Environmental Studies; Miljövetenskapliga studier; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning; Baltic and East European studies; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Abstract : Water governance worldwide is going through a shift towards more holistic and participatory approaches. In Europe, the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) adopted in 2000, aims at protecting surface water and groundwater. READ MORE

  6. 14. Physical process effects on catchment-scale pollutant transport-attenuation, coastal loading and abatement efficiency

    Author : Georg Lindgren; Georgia Destouni; Roko Andricevic; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Efficient pollutant load abatement; groundwater-surface water interactions; biogeochemical cycles; nitrogen; Lagrangian stochastic travel time approach; GIS; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : Pollutants follow various subsurface and surface water pathways from sources within a catchment to its outlet and may cause detrimental effects on downstream water quality and ecosystems. Along their different transport pathways through a catchment, pollutants may be attenuated subject to different physical and biogeochemical processes. READ MORE

  7. 15. Altiplanic aquifer exploration by multidisciplinary methods : Addressing the basis of sustainable use of groundwater

    Author : Etzar Gomez Lopez; Teknisk geologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Groundwater; Geophysics; Isotopes; Aquifer; Hydrogeology;

    Abstract : The sustainable use of groundwater relies on building up three stages: exploration, development and management. The exploration is crucial to understand the capabilities and limitations of aquifer units; e.g. READ MORE
