2. 1. Emission of methane from northern lakes and ponds

   Author : Martin Wik; Patrick Crill; Isabelle Laurion; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lakes; ponds; water bodies; methane; fluxes; ebullition; stable isotopes; arctic; subarctic; carbon cycling; climate change; geokemi; Geochemistry;

   Abstract : Northern lakes and ponds are abundant and emit large amounts of the potent climate forcer methane to the atmosphere at rates prone to change with amplified Arctic warming. In spite of being important, fluxes from surface waters are not well understood. READ MORE

4. 2. Contribution of stormwater ponds for road runoff to aquatic biodiversity

   Author : Zhenhua Sun; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; road salt; stormwater ponds; water quality; sediments; road runoff; metals; pond size; aquatic biodiversity;

   Abstract : The increased recognition that roads may impair the aquatic environment and ecosystems has led to a shift from conventional drainage systems toward blue-green solutions such as stormwater ponds. Research on blue-green stormwater solutions has until now mainly focused on water quantity and quality. READ MORE

5. 3. Stormwater Ponds for Pollution Reduction

   Author : Thomas Pettersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; suspended solids; reduction; pollution; stormwater pond; flow modelling; FEM; field measurements; heavy metals; nutrients;

   Abstract : Stormwater transports particulate-bound and soluble pollution from urban areas to receiving waters during rain events. Measurements have shown that open detention ponds, originally used for flood control, effectively reduce stormwater pollutant load and have therefore been increasingly used for stormwater treatment.

6. 4. The Ecological Role of Roadside Stormwater Ponds - Potential to Support Biodiversity

   Author : Zhenhua Sun; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Macroinvertebrates; Stormwater ponds; DNA metabarcoding; Sediments; High throughput sequencing; Road runoff; Water quality; Aquatic biodiversity;

   Abstract : The increased recognition that roads may impair the aquatic environment and ecosystems has led to a shift from conventional drainage systems toward blue-green solutions such as stormwater ponds. Research on blue-green stormwater solutions has until now mainly focused on water quantity and quality. READ MORE

7. 5. Non-cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation insights in humic freshwater lakes and ponds

   Author : Leyden Fernandez-Vidal; Stefan Bertilsson; Sari Peura; David Walsh; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : humic lakes; thaw ponds; non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs; nitrogen fixation; nitrogenase;

   Abstract : The biological basis of nitrogen fixation beyond the canonical role of Cyanobacteria is not well understood in freshwater ecosystems. To address this gap in knowledge, the main objective of this thesis is to study non-cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation in freshwater lakes and ponds. READ MORE
