Igenväxning och vegetationsutbredning i Luleå innerfjärdar 1995-2004
In 1992-1994 the local authority of Luleå dammed up the water in the four innermost bays of Luleå (Luleå innerfjärdar). The measures were taken to save the interconnected bays and prevent them become owergrown with aquatic plants and in the long run become svamps and land. The main causes of the suc...
