  2. 1. Biochemical Control Aspects in Lignin Polymerization

    Author : Anders Holmgren; Gunnar Henriksson; Liming Zhang; Jussi Sipilä; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Lignin polymerization; DHP; Ascorbic Acid; NADH; template polymerization; melanin; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Lignins are produced by all vascular plants and they represent one of the most abundant groups of biopolymers in nature. Lignin chemistry research, which has been of great importance for the progress of pulping technologies, has been plagued by the difficulties of its isolation and characterization. READ MORE

  4. 2. A paleolimnological perspective on liming – implications for defining reference conditions in Swedish lakes

    Author : Matilda Norberg; Ingemar Renberg; Helen Bennion; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Acidification; Liming; European Water Framework Directive; Reference condition; Diatoms; Paleolimnology; Monitoring; Lake sediments; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth Sciences with Specialization Environmental Analysis; geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys;

    Abstract : Using paleolimnological techniques, I have studied surface-water acidification and the effects of liming in Swedish lakes on a decadal to millennial time-scale. The overall objective was to contribute to the discussion on the fulfilment of goals within the Swedish liming program. READ MORE

  5. 3. Reproductive strategies and liming responses in forest field-layer flora

    Author : Annika Kruuse af Verchou; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; species turnover; species richness; sexual reproduction; podzol; pH; Lamiastrum galeobdolon; forest liming; demography; Cambisol; clonal plants; SRE; vegetative reproduction; VRE; Plant ecology; Växtekologi;

    Abstract : Liming increased species richness, in accordance with the species pool hypothesis, and number of plants of individual species in beech forest field-layer vegetation, by increasing establishment by seedlings and vegetative offspring. Turnover rates also increased, suggesting the explanatory value of the carousel model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Iron and aluminium speciation in Swedish freshwaters : Implications for geochemical modelling

    Author : Carin Sjöstedt; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Peggy O'Day; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geochemical equilibrium modelling; pH; adsorption to ferrihydrite; metal-NOM complexation; liming; EXAFS spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Speciation governs transport and toxicity of trace metals and is important to monitor in natural waters. Geochemical models that predict speciation are valuable tools for monitoring. They can be used for risk assessments and future scenarios such as termination of liming. READ MORE

  7. 5. Plant responses after drainage and restoration in rich fens

    Author : Kalle Mälson; Håkan Rydin; Sebastian Sundberg; Harri Vasander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; brown mosses; bryophytes; colonization; competition; dispersal limitation; liming; mire; peatland; rewetting; wetland restoration; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Rich fens are an important, but threatened, habitat type in the boreal landscape. In this thesis I have examined responses of rich fen vascular plants and bryophytes after drainage and restoration.The effects of drainage on the rich fen flora were observed in a long time study and the responses were rapid and drastic.
