    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Salinity; wetland restoration; ecosystem services; participatory modelling; social-ecological system; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : The management of Natura 2000 sites is considered as the cornerstone for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity within Europe. However, protected ecosystems provide a plethora of benefits to local societies, and support the local economy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Plant responses after drainage and restoration in rich fens

    Author : Kalle Mälson; Håkan Rydin; Sebastian Sundberg; Harri Vasander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; brown mosses; bryophytes; colonization; competition; dispersal limitation; liming; mire; peatland; rewetting; wetland restoration; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Rich fens are an important, but threatened, habitat type in the boreal landscape. In this thesis I have examined responses of rich fen vascular plants and bryophytes after drainage and restoration.The effects of drainage on the rich fen flora were observed in a long time study and the responses were rapid and drastic.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wetlands are one of the world’s most important ecosystems, but they are largely destroyed, modified, polluted and degraded. This has resulted in declines in wetland biodiversity, including that of birds, amphibians and fish. To mitigate those declines, many wetlands have been created and restored worldwide. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nitrogen Removal in Created Wetlands : Considerations – Challenges – Possibilities
