  2. 1. Biogeochemical evidences of human intervention in a shallow lake, Zeekoevlei, South Africa

    Author : Supriyo Das; Joyanto Routh; Michael R. Talbot; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lake; primary productivity; biomarkers; stable isotopes; trace elements; phosphorus; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a multi-parameter biogeochemical investigation in a shallow hyper-eutrophic freshwater coastal lake, Zeekoevlei, in South Africa. The predominance of autochthonous algal-derived organic matter in lake sediments is indicated by low C/N, high H/C ratios and δ13Corganic values. READ MORE

  4. 2. Spring dynamics in shallow lakes: the role of plankton, fish and macrophytes in a changing climate

    Author : Alice Nicolle; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zooplankton; spring; 0 fish; macrophytes; phenology; climate change; shallow lakes;

    Abstract : Shallow lakes such as Lake Krankesjön are characterized by their extended littoral zones, usually covered by submersed and emergent vegetation. In paper 1, I investigated the relationship between turbidity and macrophyte growth (Chara spp. READ MORE

  5. 3. Factors regulating the origin and magnitude of carbon dioxide emissions from high-latitude lakes

    Author : Hendricus Verheijen; Jan Karlsson; Cristian Gudasz; David A. Seekell; Marcus Klaus; Anne Ojala; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lake; carbon dioxide; organic carbon; inorganic carbon; arctic; emission; environmental science; miljövetenskap; climate change; klimatförändringar; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : Lake ecosystems receive, transmit and process terrestrial carbon and thereby link terrestrial, aquatic and global carbon cycles. Most lakes evade CO2 to the atmosphere, but the annual magnitude of CO2 evasion, as well as sources and mechanisms underpinning CO2 evasion from lakes are still largely unresolved. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ecological effects of pesticides in freshwater model ecosystems

    Author : Lina Wendt-Rasch; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; Hydrobiology; community; zooplankton; algae; herbicide; insecticide; pesticide mixture; macrophytes; cypermethrin; metsulfuron-methyl; risk assessment; pesticides; microcosms; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis I have investigated the effects of pesticide exposure on the ecosystem level using various types of experimental ecosystems, i.e. microcosms. The direct effect of exposure to cyperemthrin, a pyretroid insecticide, was a rapid decrease of crustancean zooplankton in enclosures in a lake. READ MORE

  7. 5. The potential of wetlands for mitigation of eutrophication and brownification

    Author : Anna Borgström; Akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brownification; Constructed wetlands; Cyanobacteria; Eutrophication; Filamentous algae; Green algae; Macrophytes; Multifunctionality; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Total organic carbon; Water color;

    Abstract : Increasing nutrient concentrations (eutrophication) and water color due to dissolved organic matter (brownification) pose continuous threats to freshwater ecosystems worldwide, threatening ecosystem services like drinking water supply. Changing the increasing trends of eutrophication and brownification on our aquatic ecosystems is challenging. READ MORE
