  4. 2. Nitrogen Removal in Created Wetlands : Considerations – Challenges – Possibilities

    Author : Josefin E. Nilsson; Antonia Liess; Stefan Weisner; Eva Lindström; Jennifer Tank; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecosystem services; eutrophication; constructed wetlands; agricultural runoff; denitrification; wetland multifunctionality; climate change; nutrient retention; vegetation; hydrology; greenhouse gas emissions; biodiversity; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Abstract : Created wetlands in agricultural landscapes deliver a multitude of ecosystem services, one of which is the removal of nitrogen (N) from water to reduce eutrophication. Wetland N removal, primarily through denitrification, is influenced by various factors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Conceptual Runoff Models for Material Transport Estimations

    Abstract : Catchment-scale material transport models are today important tools for water and environmental management. However, modelling of material transport is extremely complex due to the physical, chemical and biological processes involved. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nutrient loads to the Baltic Sea

    Author : Per Stålnacke; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : Nutrient enrichment is generally regarded as the greatest threat to the ecosystems of the Baltic Sea. This thesis demonstrates that the loads of nitrogen and phosphorus in the rivers in the Baltic Sea drainage basin are larger than previously assumed and by far exceed the size of the loads that reach the sea by way of other pathways, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Tracing environmental change and human impact as recorded in sediments from coastal areas of the northwestern Baltic Proper

    Author : Lena Norbäck Ivarsson; Elinor Andrén; Thomas Andrén; Mikael Lönn; John Anderson; Södertörns högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; paleoecology; diatom stratigraphy; stable nitrogen isotopes; hypoxia; nutrient discharge; eutrophication; Medieval Climate Anomaly; Little Ice Age; Environmental Studies; Miljövetenskapliga studier; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning; Baltic and East European studies;

    Abstract : The eutrophication of the Baltic Sea due to increased anthropogenic nutrient loads during the 20th century is well documented and studied. However, in the Baltic Sea drainage area, humans have affected the environment longer than the environmental monitoring can provide data for. READ MORE
