  1. 1. ARSENIC REMOVAL BY PHYTOFILTRATION AND SILICON TREATMENT : A POTENTIAL SOLUTION FOR LOWERING ARSENIC CONCENTRATIONS IN FOOD CROPS

    Författare :Arifin Sandhi; Gunnar Jacks; Gunno Renman; Maria Greger; Roger Herbert; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquatic moss; grain; rice; lettuce; macrophyte; phytoremediation; speciation; temperature; oxygenation; wetland.; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Use of arsenic-rich groundwater for crop irrigation can increase the arsenic (As) content in food crops and act as a carcinogen, compromising human health. Using aquatic plant based phytofiltration is a potential eco-technique for removing arsenic from water. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Living on the edge : effectiveness of buffer strips in protecting biodiversity on boreal riparian forests

    Författare :Kristoffer Hylander; Christer Nilsson; Bengt Gunnar Jonsson; Ellen Macdonald; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; boreal forest; bryophyte; buffer strip; ecological boundary; edge effect; headwater stream; land snail; liverwort; moss; phytometer; riparian forest; substrate; terrestrial gastropod; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the ecological consequences of buffer strip retention on riparian and terrestrial biodiversity. Earlier studies on forest buffer strips have evaluated their effectiveness in relation to water quality and aquatic biota. However, forests along streams are species rich habitats for many organism groups. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Trace metal speciation in fresh and brackish waters using ultrafiltration, DGT and transplanted aquatic moss

    Författare :Jerry Forsberg; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Sammanfattning : Distribution, mobility, and toxicity of metals in natural waters are strongly related to their aqueous speciation. To understand the behaviour of an aqueous element and the transformation between chemical species, there is a need for reliable methods that enable measurements of specific fractions of metals.

  5. 4. New Insights into the Evolution of Bryozoa- An Integrative Approach

    Författare :Judith Fuchs; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ectoprocta; moss animal; systematics; phylogeny; barcode; COI; gene expression;

    Sammanfattning : Bryozoa is a group of aquatic, sessile invertebrates with circumglobal distribution and includes about 6000 recent species. Bryozoans have an indirect life cycle with a larval stage that settles and metamorphoses into the adult. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of wood ash on freshwater organisms and aquatic forest ecosystems

    Författare :K. Andreas Aronsson; Nils Ekelund; Thomas Palo; Olli-Pekka Penttinen; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wood ash; Euglena gracilis; Gammarus pulex; Fontinalis antipyretica; pH; alkalinity; toxicity; nutrients; first order stream; Askåterföring; Vedaska; Akvatiska näringssystem; Mineralnäring; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Wood ash application (WAA) has been recommended mainly for two reasons; i) to avoid depletion of minerals in the soil due to whole tree harvest in the forestry and ii) to mitigate harmful effects of acidification of soil and surface waters. In conclusion, the effects on terrestrial ecosystems and, especially, tree growth, can be attributed to the properties of the ash, the dose applied and the specific site at which the ash is applied.
