The sustainable management of riparian forest cover along Sweden’s small waterways is instrumental to the protection of water quality and biodiversity while also creating value to society. The country has some 1 million km of small waterways - the smallest of which we do not know much about their ecology and contribution to natural values. Much of what we know about how to protect waterways and riparian species is based on data from past climates, what will happen in a future climate??

Project options:

1. Evaluate microclimate data from many streams to understand how distance from the waterway affects microclimate (temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light)

2. More??? Do you have something that interests you? Contact: eliza.hasselquist@slu.se
