  2. 1. Control factors of the marine nitrogen cycle : The role of meiofauna, macrofauna, oxygen and aggregates

    Author : Stefano Bonaglia; Patrick Crill; Volker Brüchert; Per Hall; Chritoph Humborg; Risgaard-Petersen Nils; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nitrogen cycle; denitrification; DNRA; anammox; anoxia; hypoxia; eutrophication; meiofauna; macrofauna; aggregates; cyanobacteria; Baltic Sea; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : The ocean is the most extended biome present on our planet. Recent decades have seen a dramatic increase in the number and gravity of threats impacting the ocean, including discharge of pollutants, cultural eutrophication and spread of alien species. READ MORE

  4. 2. Carbon gas biogeochemistry of a northern peatland - in a dynamic permafrost landscape

    Author : Kristina Bäckstrand; Patrick M. Crill; Torben R. Christensen; David Bastviken; Kimberly P. Wickland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon balance; Carbon exchange; Peatland; Subarctic; Climate change; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis is about biogeochemical processes of a northern peatland and their importance as a link between the climate and the terrestrial system. Increased temperatures on a global level, and particularly in the Arctic, have led to melting permafrost and changes in hydrology. READ MORE

  5. 3. Abiotic and biotic methane dynamics in relation to the origin of life

    Author : Nguyen Thanh Duc; David Bastviken; Patrick Crill; Nils Holm; Edward Hornibrook; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; methane; methanogens; methane formation; methane oxidation; lake sediment; olivine; origin of life; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Methane (CH4) plays an important role in regulating Earth’s climate. Its atmospheric concentrations are related to both biotic and abiotic processes. The biotic one can be formed either by chemoautotrophic or heterotrophic pathways by methanogens. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quantification of mineral weathering rates in sulfidic mine tailings under water-saturated conditions

    Author : Magdalena Gleisner; Docent Roger Herbert; Professor Emeritus Rolf Hallberg; Dr. Magnus Land; Professor Patrick Crill; Mats Åström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mine tailings; pyrite; sulfides; weathering; oxygen availability; Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Tailings are a fine-grained waste product produced during the metal recovery process. Tailings consist mostly of different silicates but also sulfides (e.g. pyrite), since 100 % metal recovery is not possible. READ MORE

  7. 5. Carbon trace gas dynamics in subarctic lakes

    Author : Joachim Jansen; Patrick Crill; Andreas Lorke; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lakes; methane; carbon dioxide; fluxes; gas transfer; proxy; climate change; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Northern lakes are important sources of greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. Emissions are expected to increase as the climate continues to warm. Even so, lake carbon budgets are currently poorly constrained. This is in part because of a limited understanding of the processes that govern the flux. READ MORE
