Nitrogen removal wetlands are constructed in agricultural areas as a measure to reduce the amount of non-point source nitrogen that reaches coastal areas. Methane and nitrous oxide, two greenhouse gases, are produced under anaerobic conditions and an increased amount of waterlogged areas will therefore increase the potential emission of these gases. The question has arisen: Are we solving one envi

I uppsatsen granskas Europakonventionen i syfte att undersöka om det kan finnas positiva materiella skyldigheter kopplade till klimatförändringar samt rätten till liv och hälsa uttryckta i artikel 2 och 8 i konventionen. Den börjar med att sammanställa hur en positiv materiell skyldighet kopplad till Europakonventionen uppkommer. Slutsatsen är att det krävs ett hot om kränkning av rätten till liv This thesis examines the ECHR with the aim of exploring the possible existence of positive substantive obligations connected to climate change and pertaining to the right to life and right to health as expressed in article 2 and 8 of the Convention. It departs by compiling how a positive substantive obligation is found in the ECHR system. It concludes that there must be a threat of harm to the rig

Abstract The breeding season of the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita Laurenti 1768), a „prolonged breeder“, lasts up to three months in southern Sweden. However, not all reproducing individuals are present at the breeding sites during the full time span. Thus, some populations can be sub-divided into temporally isolated subpopulations using earlier or later periods of the season for reproduction. T
