1. 1. Nitrogen land-sea fluxes in the Baltic Sea catchment : Empirical relationships and budgets

   Författare :Hanna Eriksson Hägg; Christoph Humborg; Carl-Magnus Mörth; Hans Borg; Sybil Seitzinger; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nitrogen fluxes; Baltic Sea; primary emissions; riverine export; Scenario analysis; climate change; animal protein consumption; fertilizer use; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis empirical relationships and modeling tools are used to describe the relationship between human activities and meso- and large scale riverine N fluxes from land to sea. On a large scale Paper I showed that by only having knowledge about human population size and runoff one can estimate the riverine export of DIN (r2= 0.76). LÄS MER

3. 2. Fate of riverine iron over estuarine salinity gradients

   Författare :Simon Herzog; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; iron Fe ; Organic matter; boreal rivers; XAS; DLS; Fe isotope;

   Sammanfattning : Rivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most Fe is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recent studies from boreal rivers found a remarkably high Fe stability, probably due to the interaction with organic matter. LÄS MER

4. 3. Riverine sources of bioreactive macroelements and their impact on bacterioplankton metabolism in a recipient boreal estuary

   Författare :Ana Soares; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :Dissolved organic carbon; DOC bioreactivity; nutrient bioavailability; dissolved organic matter; bacterioplankton production; bacterial respiration; aquatic ecology;

   Sammanfattning : The loading of terrestrially derived macroelements, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (N), and total phosphorus (P), to inland and estuarine waters is increasing in the northern hemisphere. Thesemacroelements often limit heterotrophic bacterioplankton metabolism (production and respiration), which in turn influence food web structures, exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and aquatic systems and oxygen consumption in estuarine ecosystems.

5. 4. Nutrient loads to the Baltic Sea

   Författare :Per Stålnacke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Sammanfattning : Nutrient enrichment is generally regarded as the greatest threat to the ecosystems of the Baltic Sea. This thesis demonstrates that the loads of nitrogen and phosphorus in the rivers in the Baltic Sea drainage basin are larger than previously assumed and by far exceed the size of the loads that reach the sea by way of other pathways, i.e. LÄS MER

7. 5. Dissolved organic carbon in tropical watersheds : Linking field observation and eco-hydrological modelling

   Författare :Fabien Rizinjirabake; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dissolved organic carbon DOC ; Rwanda; Land use land cover variability; Climate variability and change; Rukarara River Watershed; eco-hydrological modelling; field observation;

   Sammanfattning : Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a general description of the organic material dissolved in water. DOC is an important source of energy, carbon, and nutrient transfers from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems. The export of DOC into aquatic ecosystems may contribute to the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems and to water degradation. LÄS MER
