1. Regulation of carbon dioxide emission from Swedish boreal lakes and the Gulf of Bothnia
Sammanfattning : The global carbon cycle is subject to intense research, where sources and sinks for greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide in particular, are estimated for various systems and biomes. Lakes have previously been neglected in carbon balance estimations, but have recently been recognized to be significant net sources of CO2. LÄS MER
2. Role of sediment organic matter quality and benthic organisms for the fate of organic contaminants in marine systems
Sammanfattning : Marine sediments constitute important contaminant sources within our environment. Organic matter input to marine sediments changes seasonally in terms of both quantity and quality, and has been profoundly altered in many coastal areas due to eutrophication. LÄS MER
3. The importance of biodiversity for ecosystem processes in sediments : experimental examples from the Baltic Sea
Sammanfattning : Aquatic sediments are, by surface, the largest habitat on Earth. A wide diversity of organisms inhabit these sediments and by their actions they have a large influence on and also mediate many ecosystem processes. LÄS MER
4. Boreal Lake Sediments as Sources and Sinks of Carbon
Sammanfattning : Inland waters process large amounts of organic carbon, contributing to CO2 and CH4 emissions, as well as storing organic carbon (OC) over geological timescales. Recently, it has been shown that the magnitude of these processes is of global significance. LÄS MER
5. Nitrogen transformations in wetlands: Effects of water flow patterns
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I have studied nitrogen turnover processes in watermeadows. A watermeadow is a wetland where water infiltrates through the soil of a grassland field. LÄS MER
