    Author : Laura Gobelius; [2016]
    Keywords : phytoremediation; Arlanda Airport; PFASs; groundwater; soil; plant; AFFF; aqueous fire fighting foams;

    Abstract : The extensive use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as surfactants in, for example textiles,cookware and aqueous firefighting foams (AFFFs) during the last decades has resulted in widespread environmental contamination. Due to the persistent and bioaccumulative characteristics of PFASs, they are ubiquitously found in the environment, wildlife and humans. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of leaf beetle herbivory on pollination success and fruit development in woodland strawberry Fragaria vesca

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Lisa Malm; [2013]
    Keywords : herbivory; pollination success; pollinator reference; fruit development; fruit yield; leaf beetles; Galerucella tenella; Galerucella sagittariae; Fragaria vesca;

    Abstract : Cultivating well-developed and marketable garden strawberries (Fragria x ananassa) and woodland strawberries (Fragaria vesca) depends on successful pollination by insects. Organic garden strawberry plantations harbour higher pollinator densities and have been shown to produce bigger and better developed fruits than conventional farms. READ MORE
