  2. 16. Towards co-management of Gialova Lagoon : A Natura 2000 coastal wetland in Messinia, Greece

    Author : Georgios Maneas; Håkan Berg; Stefano Manzoni; Ernsteins Raimonds; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Salinity; wetland restoration; ecosystem services; participatory modelling; social-ecological system; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : The management of Natura 2000 sites is considered as the cornerstone for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity within Europe. However, protected ecosystems provide a plethora of benefits to local societies, and support the local economy. READ MORE

  4. 17. On the endemic Fucus radicans in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Ellen Schagerström; Lena Kautsky; Inga Kjersti Sjøtun; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; seaweed; sexual reproduction; clonality; fragmentation; dimorphism; salinity; distribution; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Abstract : The brown macroalgae Fucus radicans is endemic to the Baltic Sea, but little is known about this newly described species. This thesis investigates the ecology and role of F. radicans within the species poor Baltic Sea ecosystem. The thallus of F. READ MORE

  5. 18. Testing palaeomagnetic and 14C based geochronological methods in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Bryan Lougheed; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; coastal; geochronology; palaeomagnetic secular variation; PSV; radiocarbon; 14C; reservoir age; R t ; ΔR; salinity; δ18O; geomagnetic field; Holocene; deglacial; Fennoscandia.;

    Abstract : The Baltic Sea is a continental shelf sea that is influenced by both river runoff and marine water. The two water masses are vertically stratified in the Baltic Sea, resulting in a positive, estuarine circulation system, which has undergone changes in the past due to isostatic uplift of the Baltic basin.

  6. 19. Habitat-Forming Seaweeds in a Changing Climate

    Author : Alexandra Kinnby; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ocean acidification; Warming; Freshening; Temperature; Salinity; pH; pCO2; Fucus vesiculosus; Phlorotannins; Grazing; Tissue resilience; Macroalgae;

    Abstract : Climate change is an umbrella term encompassing some of the largest and most potent selective pressures currently acting on ecosystems. It can have diverse effects on marine systems; the most powerful of which are changes to salinity through altered patterns of precipitation and evaporation, temperature through increased global temperature, and pH through the dissolution of CO2 into seawater where it ultimately reacts with water to form carbonate (CO32-) and hydrogen ions (2H+).

  7. 20. Metal accumulation by plants : evaluation of the use of plants in stormwater treatment

    Author : Åsa Fritioff; Maria Greger; Lena Kautsky; Bert Wolterbeek; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elodea canadensis; Potamogeton natans; uptake; translocation; distribution; toxicity; salinity; temperature; and leakage; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Metal contaminated stormwater, i.e. surface runoff in urban areas, can be treated in percolation systems, ponds, or wetlands to prevent the release of metals into receiving waters. Plants in such systems can, for example, attenuate water flow, bind sediment, and directly accumulate metals. READ MORE
