1. Riverine nitrogen : Analysis and modelling under Nordic conditions
Sammanfattning : The Baltic Sea in northern Europe is a brackish water body where eutrophication is considered a serious problem, partly as a result of high nitrogen load from rivers. This thesis includes statistical analysis of nitrogen behaviour in 55 small catchments. The results were used for further development of a dynamic model (HBV-N). LÄS MER
2. Acclimation of plants to combinations of abiotic factors : connecting the lab to the field
Sammanfattning : Increasing atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gasses coupled to the accelerated rate of global warming puts plants and ecosystems under the strain of a rapidly changing abiotic environment. Understanding the impacts of changing global climate is a strong focus of plant science and the establishment of more resilient crop variants is an important goal for breeding programs. LÄS MER
3. Effects of nitrogen deposition on the growth, metabolism and activity of ectomycorrhizal fungi
Sammanfattning : Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition is an environmental problem that can affect plants and microorganisms, which are vital for the terrestrial N and carbon (C) cycles. This thesis has investigated the response of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) to increased N deposition. LÄS MER
4. Phenolics, Nitrogen, and Biotic Interactions : A Study of Phenylpropanoid Metabolites and Gene Expression in the Leaves of Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : European aspen (Populus tremula) is a fast growing tree species, rich in phenolic compounds. Defense theories suggest that soil nitrogen greatly influence plant allocation togrowth and defense; however, the allocation priorities are not well understood. LÄS MER
5. Resource aquisition and allocation in lichens
Sammanfattning : Lichens are fascinating symbiotic systems, where a fungus and a unicellular alga, most often green (bipartite green algal lichens; 90% of all lichens), or a fi lamentous cyanobacterium (bipartite cyanobacterial lichens; 10% of all lichens) form a new entity (a thallus) appearing as a new and integrated organism: in about 500 lichens the fungus is associated with both a cyanobacterium and an alga (tripartite lichens). In the thallus, the lichen bionts function both as individual organisms, and as a symbiont partner. LÄS MER
