[ID: 514] Spatio-temporal trends in microbial biodiversity in natural and modified (ditches, Dreams) small forest waterways
PI: Cedric Åkermark
By combining rare year-round microbial data from 2012 with resampling in 2026, this project aims to uncover how climate and forestry-driven changes have shaped the hidden biodiversity of Sweden’s smallest—and most overlooked—forest waterways. Water samples will collected during the regular Krycklan water sampling occasions of 2026. The samples will be filtered and stored in Umeå and sent to Uppsala for DNA analysis.
[ID: 63] Source Stream protection from forest practices: What are the costs and benefits, and how best to do it?
PI: Lenka Kuglerova
This project investigates forestry effects on small headwater streams on local as well as integrated catchment scale. We are looking into best management scenarios (riparian buffers) to mitigate the effects of forest harvest on freshwater organisms, processes, hydrology and biogeochemistry of headwater streams.
