  1. 11. Effects of temperature and terrestrial carbon on primary production in lake ecosystems

    Författare :Mohammed Hamdan; Jan Karlsson; Pär Byström; Erin R. Hotchkiss; Lars-Anders Hansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lakes; primary production; benthic; pelagic; carbon dioxide limitation; light limitation; nutrient limitation; browning; warming; allochthonous carbon; grazing; trophic cascades;

    Sammanfattning : Climate warming is predicted to affect northern lake food webs in two ways: (1)directly via changes in water temperature and ice conditions, and (2) indirectlyvia changes in catchment characteristics and processes that influence input ofallochthonous coloured dissolved organic matter (cDOM) and nutrients. Input ofcDOM increases carbon dioxide (CO2) availability, causes brownification andreduced light conditions, and may increase nutrient availability especially forpelagic primary producers. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Food web structures and carbon transfer efficiencies in a brackish water ecosystem

    Författare :Kristin Dahlgren; Ulf Båmstedt; Agneta Andersson; Marja Koski; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon transfer efficiency; Food web efficiency; zooplankton; production; pelagic; benthic; fatty acids; wax esters; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Two differently structured food webs can be distinguished in the pelagic habitat of aquatic systems; the classical one (autotrophic) with phytoplankton as a base and the microbial food web (heterotrophic) with bacteria as a base. Energy (produced at the basal trophic level) reaches higher trophic levels, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Influence of resuspension on sediment-water solute exchange and particle transport in marine environments

    Författare :Elin Almroth Rosell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resuspension; benthic fluxes; oxygen; dissolved inorganic carbon; nutrients; dissolved iron and manganese; in situ chambers; benthic lander; organic matter transport; ecological modeling; Gothenburg Archipelago; Gulf of Finland; Baltic Sea; Loch Creran; Scotland;

    Sammanfattning : Marine sediments contain a large pool of nutrients, which if released would contribute to increased eutrophication, in spite of decreased nutrient loads from land and atmosphere. Resuspension is a process, which might influence the release of nutrients from the sediment to the overlying water. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Impacts of global change on primary production in northern lakes

    Författare :Isolde Callisto Puts; Ann-Kristin Bergström; Jenny Ask; Tom H. Andersen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Primary production; global change; warming; browning; lake; carbon dioxide; organic carbon; inorganic carbon; boreal; arctic; DOC; DIC; CO2; allochthonous organic carbon; benthic; periphyton; environmental change; miljöförändringar; environmental science; miljövetenskap; biology; biologi; climate change; klimatförändringar;

    Sammanfattning : Algae are primary producers, a major component of the aquatic foodweb, and changes in primary production affect aquatic ecology in general. Global changes such as warming, recovery of acidification and changes in land-use have caused warming and browning of northern lakes. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Adaptive capacity for social and environmental change : The role of networks in Chile’s small-scale fisheries

    Författare :Andrés Marín; Beatrice Crona; Nadine Marshall; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; artisanal; benthic; Chile; coastal areas; collaborative management; disasters; ecosystem services; hazards; livelihoods; post-disaster; QCA; recovery; TURFs; Análisis Cualitativo Comparativo; artesanal; bentónico; Chile; desastres; manejo colaborativo; medios de vida; peligros; post desastre; recuperación; servicios ecosistémicos; zonas costeras; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : World’s small-scale fisheries (SSF) face permanent and increasing external changes and shocks that challenge their viability and potential as an engine of human sustainable development. It is broadly assumed and expected that fishers and their communities have the capacity to adapt to current and future social and ecological changes. LÄS MER
