  2. 1. Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning : Redundancy and Resilience in Freshwater Bacterial Communities

    Author : Hannes Peter; Lars J. Tranvik; Eva S. Lindström; Silke Langenheder; Nelson G. Hairston; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem functioning; bacteria; fresh water; biofilms; multifunctionality; ecological networks; perturbation; fragility; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi; Biology with specialization in Limnology;

    Abstract : Bacteria are immensely diverse and hold key-positions in essentially all biogeochemical cycles. In freshwater ecosystems, bacteria degrade and mineralize organic compounds, linking the pool of dissolved organic matter to higher trophic levels. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Social-ecological dynamics of ecosystem service bundles

    Author : Megan Meacham; Albert V. Norström; Garry D. Peterson; Dagmar Haase; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecosystem services; multifunctionality; landscape; patterns; cluster; drivers; mapping; trade-offs; synergies; sustainability; land use; landscape management; Sweden; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : The environments in which we live are complex, adapting and evolving in non-linear ways. The ecosystem services produced in landscapes supply resources, support livelihoods and are foundational to human wellbeing. READ MORE

  6. 4. CARESCAPE OF BLUE-GREEN SOLUTIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE : Exploring the socio-materiality of a landscape technology

    Author : Misagh Mottaghi; miljö boende Stad; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; affordance; blue-green solutions; everyday life; human-nonhuman; matters of care; multifunctionality; nature-based solutions; neighborhood; rhythm; urban design; urban open space; temporality; socio-ecological urbanism; STS; water;

    Abstract : This research explores how blue-green solutions (BGS) take part in various everyday situations in the Augustenborg neighborhood of Malmö, Sweden, where BGS were introduced over twenty years ago to control urban flooding. The research applies a relational perspective, looking at everyday life as something that is contextually formed and given meaning in relation to the socio-materiality of the environment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring synergies – management of multifunctional agricultural landscapes

    Author : Lovisa Nilsson; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multifunctionality; ecosystem services; functional biodiversity; agri-environmental policy; CAP; agri-environmental measures;

    Abstract : AbstractHuman ingenuity and activities have resulted in erosion of ecosystems and their capacity to support the sustainable production of goods and functions that we depend on. Biodiversity i.e. READ MORE
