  2. 1. Effects of inorganic nitrogen and organic carbon on pelagic food webs in boreal lakes

    Author : Anne Deininger; Ann-Kristin Bergström; Jan Karlsson; Antonia Liess; Carolyn L. Faithfull; John A. Downing; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; autochthony; basal production; boreal; global change; dissolved organic carbon; food web efficiency; N deposition; phytoplankton; seston stoichiometry; whole lake enrichment; zooplankton; limnologi; Limnology;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic activities are increasing inorganic nitrogen (N) loadings to lakes in the northern hemisphere. In many boreal lakes phytoplankton are N limited, wherefore enhanced N input may affect the productivity of pelagic food webs. READ MORE

  4. 2. Land use effects on greenhouse gas emissions from boreal inland waters

    Author : Marcus Klaus; Jan Karlsson; Peter Staehr; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; greenhouse gas; boreal forest; carbon cycling; whole-ecosystem experiment; limnology; metabolism; forest clearcutting; nitrogen enrichment;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic activities perturb the global carbon and nitrogen cycle with large implications for the earth’s climate. Land use activities deliver excess carbon and nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems. In the boreal biome, this is mainly due to forestry and atmospheric deposition. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals – Thyroid disruption and behavioural effects in fish models

    Author : Lina Birgersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; endocrine disrupting chemicals; ecotoxicology; zebrafish; perch; locomotion; behaviour; thyroid disruption; EDC mixtures;

    Abstract : Wildlife and humans are continuously exposed to thousands of man-made compounds, including chemicals that are able to act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs). These pollutants are able to affect vital processes including brain development, reproduction, metabolism and growth. READ MORE
