11. Structure and function of microbial communities in constructed wetlands - influence of environmental parameters and pesticides on denitrifying bacteria
Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the interactions and relationships between natural aquatic bacterial communities, environmental parameters, anthropogenic chemicals and the denitrification pathway in the habitat of agricultural constructed wetlands. The main aim was to gain fundamental knowledge of the drivers behind the processes of the denitrification (i.e. LÄS MER
12. The role of benthic macrofauna in nitrogen cycling in eutrophic lake sediment
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the role of sediment-living macrobenthos in the cycling of nitrogen species and nitrogen transformation in eutrophic freshwater sediments. In my thesis I have, employing 15N-isotope techniques in laboratory experiments, shown the importance of infaunal chironomid larvae and oligochaetes on denitrification in eutrophic lake sediments.

13. Nitrous oxide emission from soil : On extrapolation from soil environmental factors
Sammanfattning : Nitrous oxide(N20) is a natural component of the atmosphere which contributes both to the greenhouse effect and to the destruction of stratospheric ozone. National as well as global inventories indicate thatboth natural and anthropogenic emissions from terrestrial ecosystems constitute a large fraction of the annual loading of N20 on the atmosphere.

14. Benthic metabolism and sediment nitrogen cycling in Baltic sea coastal areas : the role of eutrophication, hypoxia and bioturbation
Sammanfattning : Eutrophication is one of the greatest threats for the Baltic Sea, and one of its more critical consequences is bottom water hypoxia. Nutrient enrichment and oxygen-depletion affect both the deep central basins and a number of coastal areas, even though strategies for nutrient reduction have lately been implemented. LÄS MER
15. Use of chemical denitrification for nitrogen removal from landfill leachates
Sammanfattning : Landfill leachate usually has a high concentration ofammonium nitrogen and heavy metals, but too low alkalinitycontent for full biological nitrification, as well as a too lowconcentration of biologically degradable organic carbon forbiological denitrification, and at the same time very variablecomposition (quantity and quality) with time. These factorsresult in serious problems for treating leachate with existingsystems. LÄS MER
