  2. 1. Climate-induced changes : Its effects on plankton food webs from the Baltic Sea

    Author : Claudia Romero-Oliva; Edna Graneli; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate-induced changes; temperature; acidification; marine food web; natural plankton community; spring; summer; Baltic Sea; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Abstract : The Earth’s climate is determined different processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean.Anthropogenic activities (mainly combustion of fossil fuels) have increased since the 1950’s, andthus the concentration of greenhouse gases that are warming up the planet. READ MORE

  4. 2. Phenotypic and Genotypic responses in the planktonic diatom Skeletonema marinoi - Effects of Natural Processes and Anthropogenic Stressors

    Author : Susanna Gross; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diatoms; genotype; phenotype; resting cell; eutrophication; spring bloom; diversity; grazing; adaptation; phytoplankton; microalgae; Skeletonema;

    Abstract : Diatoms are one of the most diverse and abundant phytoplankton taxa and are highly important as primary producers, accounting for nearly half of the marine primary production and constituting the base in the marine food web. Despite their high dispersal potential they are genetically diverse and display genetically structured populations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fate and transport of POPs in the aquatic environment : with focus on contaminated sediments

    Author : Sarah Josefsson; Karin Wiberg; Mats Tysklind; Kjell Leonardsson; Jonas S Gunnarsson; Jussi Kukkonen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioturbation; bioirrigation; bioaccumulation; secondary sources; buried contaminants; sediment remediation; active capping; thin-layer capping; Marenzelleria spp.; Baltic Sea; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins; polychlorinated dibenzofurans; polychlorinated biphenyls; hexachlorobenzene; octachloro¬styrene; polybrominated diphenyl ethers; PCDD Fs; PCBs; HCB; OCS; PBDEs; water sampling; passive sampling; particulate fraction; freely dissolved; apparently dissolved; colloid; organic carbon; activated carbon; lignin; sediment-to-water flux; spring bloom; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Persistent organic compounds; Persistenta organiska föreningar; Environmental Science; miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are hydrophobic substances that readily sorb to organic matter in particles and colloids instead of being freely dissolved in the water phase. This sorption affects the bio­availability and environmental transport of the POPs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Light conditions in seasonally ice-covered waters : within the Baltic Sea region

    Author : Elina Kari; Susanne Kratzer; Matti Leppäranta; Monika Winder; Tiit Kutser; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seasonal sea ice; Fast ice; Drift ice; Phytoplankton spring bloom; Under-ice plume; Turbidity; Suspended particulate matter; Chlorophyll; Coloured dissolved organic matter; Baltic Sea; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Seasonal ice cover is a major driver of seasonality in aquatic ecosystems in the Baltic Sea region. Ice cover influences the underwater light conditions directly by limiting the light transfer and indirectly by modifying the mixing and circulation under the ice. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bloom dynamics and population genetics of marine phytoplankton - Community, species and population aspects

    Author : Karolina Härnström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phytoplankton; dynamics; Skeletonema marinoi; population genetics; resting stages;

    Abstract : Phytoplankton are the most important primary producers in the world’s oceans and coastal waters, accounting for nearly half of the global net primary production. Although they are such important organisms, little is known about the ecology and dynamics of phytoplankton. READ MORE
