  1. 1. Carbon in Boreal Streams : Isotopic Tracing of Terrestrial Sources

    Författare :Audrey Campeau; Marcus Wallin; Kevin Prof; Emily Stanley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The boreal biome comprises vast areas of coniferous forests, dotted with millions of peatlands. Plants harbouring these ecosystems fix CO2 from the atmosphere, which is later incorporated into the vegetation biomass and subsequently buried in soils. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bacterial use of allochthonous organic carbon for respiration and growth in boreal freshwater systems

    Författare :Martin Berggren; Mats Jansson; Michael L. Pace; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :lakes; streams; boreal; bacterial respiration; bacterial production; bacterial growth efficiency; allochthonous organic carbon; low molecular weight compounds; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : Aquatic systems worldwide receive large amounts of organic carbon from terrestrial sources. This ‘allochthonous’ organic carbon (AlloOC) affects critical physical and chemical properties of freshwater ecosystems, with consequences for food web structures and exchange of greenhouse gases with the atmosphere.

  4. 3. The role of inland waters in the carbon cycle at high latitudes

    Författare :Erik Lundin; Jan Karlsson; Reiner Giesler; Robert Striegl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lakes; streams; carbon C ; carbon dioxide CO2 ; methane CH4 ; dissolved inorganic carbon DIC ; boreal; sub-arctic; arctic; emission; sediments; burial; budget; limnologi; Limnology; Earth Sciences with Specialization Environmental Analysis; geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the drivers of climate change requires knowledge about the global carbon (C) cycle. Although inland waters play an important role in the C cycle by emitting and burying C, streams and lakes are in general overlooked in bottom-up approached C budgets. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A GIS-based landscape analysis of dissolved organic carbon in boreal headwater streams

    Författare :Jan-Olov Andersson; Lars Nyberg; Hjalmar Laudon; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forests; wetlands; vegetation types; headwater streams; catchment hydrology; streamwater chemistry; DOC; GIS; terrain analysis; DEM; slope; wetness index; TWI; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : In boreal catchments, stream water chemistry is influenced and controlled by several landscape factors. The influence of spatially distributed variables is in turn dependent on the hydrological scale. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Spatiotemporal streamflow variability in a boreal landscape : Importance of landscape composition for catchment hydrological functioning

    Författare :Reinert Huseby Karlsen; Jan Seibert; Kevin Bishop; Thomas Grabs; Sarah E. Godsey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; streamflow; catchment hydrology; boreal; water balance; spatiotemporal variability; landscape analysis; climate change; recession curve; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Sammanfattning : The understanding of how different parts of a landscape contribute to streamflow by storing and releasing water has long been a central issue in hydrology. Knowledge about what controls streamflow dynamics across landscapes can further our understanding of how catchments store and release water, facilitate predictions for ungauged catchments, and improve the management of water quality and resources.
