  1. 11. Bloom dynamics and population genetics of marine phytoplankton - Community, species and population aspects

    Författare :Karolina Härnström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phytoplankton; dynamics; Skeletonema marinoi; population genetics; resting stages;

    Sammanfattning : Phytoplankton are the most important primary producers in the world’s oceans and coastal waters, accounting for nearly half of the global net primary production. Although they are such important organisms, little is known about the ecology and dynamics of phytoplankton. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Coastal signals of environmental changes: foraminifera as benthic monitors

    Författare :Inda Brinkmann; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; benthic foraminifera; proxy calibration; trace element geochemistry; environmental DNA; deoxygenation; drought; coastal environments;

    Sammanfattning : Climate changes, tightly linked to anthropogenic activities, are significantly altering environments and ecosystems globally, such as by increasing marine and coastal deoxygenation or occurrences of extreme weather events. The significance of paleoenvironmental and -climate reconstructions, as well as monitoring of current conditions, for unravelling baseline natural variation, today’s changes and potential future impacts, has been recognised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports.

  4. 13. Air-sea exchange of O2 and CO2 : Processes controlling the transfer efficiency

    Författare :Andreas Andersson; Anna Rutgersson; Brian Ward; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; air-sea flux; oxygen; transfer velocity; water-side convection; Arctic; UVCN; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Sammanfattning : World oceans cover more than 70% of the earth surface and constitutes a major sink of atmospheric CO2. Two of the most important gases in the marine carbon cycling are O2 and CO2 and hence accurate descriptions of the air-sea gas exchange of these gases are crucial. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Ecological succession of benthic macrofauna following disturbance : Effects of contaminants and in situ sediment remediation

    Författare :Caroline Raymond; Jonas S. Gunnarsson; Agnes M. L. Karlson; Francisco J. A. Nascimento; Joanna Norkko; Gert Van Hoey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Activated carbon; Benthos; Bioturbation; Contaminants; Environmental indices; Environmental monitoring; Environmental quality; Seafloor integrity; Sediment remediation; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : More than 70% of the Earth is covered by water, and most of the sea floor consists of soft sediments, such as mud, clay and sand. Thus, soft sediments form one of the most important habitats on Earth, with a high diversity of organisms. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : role of human glutathione transferases in conjugate formation and DNA protection

    Författare :Kathrin Sundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread mutagenic and carcinogenic environmental pollutants, which requires metabolic activation to electrophilic intermediates and subsequent covalent binding to critical targets in DNA to elicit their biological activity. Bay- and fjord region diol epoxides (DEs) have been identified as the ultimate mutagenic and carcinogenic metabolites of PAHs. LÄS MER
