11. Importance of tannins for responses of aspen to anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment
Sammanfattning : Boreal forests are often strongly nitrogen (N) limited. However, human activities are leading to increased N inputs into these ecosystems, through atmospheric N deposition and forest fertilization. LÄS MER
12. What modulates telomere dynamics? : Inheritance, developmental effects, and physiological challenges
Sammanfattning : Telomeres are the conservative sequence repeats located at the end of linear chromosomes that have been the focus of intensive research across many disciplines over the last four decades. They function as a cap to protect the chromosome ends from fusion to other chromosomes and to prevent chromosome degradation. LÄS MER
13. Magnetic map sense in animals: effects of geographic and magnetic displacements
Sammanfattning : Migration research is a large and diverse field and in my thesis I have focused on the impact of geomagnetic cues on animal orientation, navigation and migratory fuelling. Several animal species from widely different taxa possess the ability to sense and make use of geomagnetic information during migratory or homing events. LÄS MER
14. Single cell carbon and nitrogen dynamics in chain forming diatoms, including their resting stage
Sammanfattning : The oceans are a fundamental part of all life on earth, accounting for more than half of Earth’s oxygen production. The ocean is also key to long term carbon dioxide sequestration. Diatoms are a group of phytoplankton differentiated by their silica shell/frustule and account for ~20% of global primary production. LÄS MER
15. The effect of simulated anthropogenic nitrogen deposition on the net carbon balance of boreal soils
Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic activities have globally increased nitrogen (N) deposition and carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas emissions. It is proposed that anthropogenic N deposition may increase the size of boreal forest CO₂ sink, because boreal ecosystems are N limited. LÄS MER
