  1. 6. Linking lake variability, climate, and human activity in Basotu, Tanzania

    Author : Lindsey Higgins; Lars-Ove Westerberg; Jan Risberg; Sarah Davies; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tanzania; crater lake; climate change; land-use change; water resources; environmental variability; diatoms; paleolimnology; chronology; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : Paleoenvironmental investigations establish important baseline knowledge of the natural variability of lake systems, to better understand human impacts on the landscape, and the effects of climate change on water resources. By combining long-term environmental history with investigations into modern land use patterns and climatological events, a wider perspective can be reached that has practical applications in water governance.

  2. 7. Chemical use in shrimp farming and environmental implications of antibiotic pollution

    Author : Sara Gräslund; Nils Kautsky; Bent Halling-Sørensen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Shrimp farming is a highly important industry in southeast Asia. A major threat to profitable shrimp farming is disease outbreaks, which has lead to a situation where a large number of chemicals are used to prevent and treat infections. READ MORE

  3. 8. Blue Oceans with Blue Mussels - Management and planning of mussel farming in coastal ecosystems

    Author : Per Bergström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coastal management; Mytilus edulis; Growth; Planning; Modelling; Predict; Restoration; Mitigation; Aquaculture; Bioturbation;

    Abstract : Eutrophication is one of the largest and most serious global threats to the marine environment. The effect of eutrophication has become increasingly clear during recent time, and major economic and political efforts are being made to tackle its causes and consequences in Sweden and its surrounding seas.

  4. 9. On the investigation of chemical parameters reflecting microbial activity linked to nutrient availability in forest soil

    Author : Madelen Olofsson; Dan Bylund; Bengt-Gunnar Jonsson; Bjarne W. Strobel; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boreal forest; electrospray ionization; fungal biomass; hydrophilic interaction chromatography; hydroxamate siderophores; liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; mineral amendment; aromatic acids; podzol soil;

    Abstract : As agrarian society developed, the most fertile soils able to sustain the nutritional requirements needed for high crop yield were assigned to farming, while the more penurious soils were left to uphold the forest ecosystems. Some temperate forests are developed on acidic soils considered to be nutrient poor, as much of the inorganic nutrients are entrapped in poorly weatherable soil minerals and not easily accessed by plant roots.

  5. 10. Pesticide use in rice farming and its impacts on climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam

    Author : Thanh Tam Nguyen; Håkan Berg; Michael Tedengren; Cong Van Nguyen; Joachim Sturve; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mekong Delta; Rice field; Climbing perch; Insecticide; Chlorpyrifos ethyl; Fenobucarb; Mixture; Sequential applications; AChE; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The intensification of agricultural production in the Mekong Delta has faced serious challenges with respect to increased use of agrochemicals and especially pesticides. The indiscriminate use of pesticide could potentially impact on the long-term food production, environmental and human health in the delta. READ MORE
