2. 1. Microbial Communities in Boreal Peatlands : Responses to Climate Change and Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulfur Depositions

   Author : Magalí Martí Genero; Bo Svensson; Åsa Danielsson; Torben Christensen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbial communities; methanogens; plant communities; peatland; temperature; nitrogen; long-term; field experiment; high-throughput sequencing; Microbiella samhällen; metanogener; växtsamhällen; myrar; torv; temperatur; kväve; långtid; fältexperiment; high-throughput-sekvensering;

   Abstract : Myrmarker har en stor roll i regleringen av den globala kolbalansen och koncentrationerna av koldioxid och metan i atmosfären, vilket gör dem till speciellt viktiga ekosystem ur ett klimatförandringsperspektiv. Förändringar av myrmarker genom naturlig utveckling eller antropogen påverkan kan därför få långtgående störningar av myrars klimatreglerande funktion. READ MORE

4. 2. Production and emission of CO2 in two unproductive lakes in northern Sweden

   Author : Jan Åberg; Mats Jansson; Anders Jonsson; David Bastviken; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lake; carbon dioxide; organic carbon; inorganic carbon; boreal; arctic; DOC; DIC; CO2; emission; thermal stratification; allochthonous organic carbon; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

   Abstract : Unproductive lakes are one of few natural landscape compartments with net release of carbon to the atmosphere. Lakes also generally decrease the net terrestrial carbon uptake, since most of the CO2 production in unproductive lakes are derived from organic carbon produced on land (e.g. in forests). READ MORE

5. 3. Peatland dynamics in response to past and potential future climate change : A regional modelling approach

   Author : Nitin Chaudhary; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PEATLANDS; PERMAFROST; Carbon accumulation; Microtopography; LPJ-GUESS; Earth system models;

   Abstract : The majority of the northern peatlands developed during the Holocene as a result of a positive mass balance between net primary productivity (NPP) and heterotrophic decomposition rates. Over that time they have sequestered a huge amount of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE

6. 4. Physical process effects on catchment-scale pollutant transport-attenuation, coastal loading and abatement efficiency

   Author : Georg Lindgren; Georgia Destouni; Roko Andricevic; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Efficient pollutant load abatement; groundwater-surface water interactions; biogeochemical cycles; nitrogen; Lagrangian stochastic travel time approach; GIS; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

   Abstract : Pollutants follow various subsurface and surface water pathways from sources within a catchment to its outlet and may cause detrimental effects on downstream water quality and ecosystems. Along their different transport pathways through a catchment, pollutants may be attenuated subject to different physical and biogeochemical processes. READ MORE

7. 5. Long-term development, modeling and management of nutrient loading to inland and coastal waters

   Author : Amelie Darracq; Georgia Destouni; Andrea Rinaldo; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : Nutrients; catchments; environmental management; climate change; population and lifestyle development; subsurface-surface water interactions; long-term simulations; nutrient retention; modeling; hydrology; transport processes; biogeochemistry; scaling; transport and reaction rates; Physical Geography; geografi med naturgeografisk inriktning;

   Abstract : Environmental and water system protection and restoration require accurate knowledge and quantification of waterborne pollutant transport, retention-release and transformation processes taking place in the subsurface, river, lake and sea water systems, and at the interfaces between these systems. This thesis investigates the importance of spatial model resolution for such quantification and the possible long-term nutrient load development under different human perturbations and nutrient source management scenarios in the Swedish Norrström drainage basin, based on simulations with the GIS-based dynamic nutrient transport-attenuation model POLFLOW.
