  1. 16. Temporal Trends in Dissolved Inorganic Carbon in a Swedish Boreal Catchment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Lukas Rehn; [2021]
    Keywords : Boreal catchments; carbon cycling; carbon dioxide; DIC; headwater streams; Krycklan Catchment Study; trend analysis;

    Abstract : Inland waters are important systems for transforming, storing and transporting carbon along the aquatic continuum, but also by emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. In light of the last decades observed increase in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in many inland waters across the northern hemisphere, a logical question arise whether other aquatic carbon species display similar trends.

  2. 17. Water quality and organic matter linkages in waters draining arable fields

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Adam Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Natural organic matter NOM ; particular organic matter POM ; dissolved organic matter DOM ; allochthonous; autochthonous; Florescence index FIX ; Freshness index BIX ; Humification index HIX ; SUVA 254; E2:E3; Spectral Slope; Observation fields; microbial matter; humic matter; unfiltered samples UF ; filtered samples F45 ;

    Abstract : This study investigated leaching of natural organic matter (NOM) in twelve Swedish arable fields with regards to the quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and particulate organic matter (POM), using Absorbance (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectrometry (EEM). DOM is defined as organic matter (OM) 0.45 μm. READ MORE

  3. 18. Spruce Forests and Peat Wetlands in Lake Bolmen’s Catchment Both Leak and Degrade Coloured Dissolved Organic Carbon

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Jasmin Borgert; [2021]
    Keywords : Brownification; land use; DOC; iron; water colour;

    Abstract : Lake browning in the northern hemisphere is endangering crucial ecosystem services. Darker water decreases fish and primary production as well as touristic and recreational values. It furthermore requires intensive treatment to receive safe drinking water. Brownification is connected to iron and coloured dissolved organic carbon (DOC). READ MORE

  4. 19. Initial nutrient retention capacity in a constructed wetland : Evaluating the effectiveness of a newly constructed wetland to reduce eutrophication symptoms in a Baltic Sea bay in northern Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Elin Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : retention; constructed wetland; total phosphorus; total nitrogen; nutrient dynamics; northern latitudes; nutrient mitigation measure;

    Abstract : Since the turn of the last century, a substantial increase in nutrient load to the Baltic Sea is apparent. Adding the ongoing environmental change with raising temperatures and increased precipitation, this will continue to have a prominent environmental impact on our coastal ecosystems, especially in northern latitudes.

  5. 20. Traits of peat- and upland-derived stream dissolved organic carbon in the permafrost region around Abisko, northern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nora Kainz; [2021]
    Keywords : physical geography; ecosystem analysis; permafrost degradation; DOC; DOC concentration; stable isotope carbon signature; DOC quality; DOC degradation; Atmospheric Sciences and Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change-induced thawing of permafrost mobilizes previously frozen carbon of high potential reactivity, thereby, fuelling microbiological production of greenhouse gases. For this work, an analysis of the quantity, quality, and bioreactivity of DOC in streams from the Stordalen discontinuous permafrost catchment was carried out with stream water samples during the relatively warm summer of 2018.
