  1. 1. Metagenomic insights into AMR distributions in freshwaters and soils

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jay Håkansson; [2023]
    Keywords : AMR; metagenomics; freshwater; microbial ecology; soil; antimicrobial resistance;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rapidly becoming a public health issue, as more and more infectious bacteria become resistant to our known antibiotics. Suggested reasons for the proliferation of these strains are misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, especially on an industrial level, in agriculture, livestock and aquaculture. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards climate optimised riparian buffer zones in boreal forests

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Alice Falk; [2022]
    Keywords : Forestry; Biogeochemical hotspots; Carbon dioxide; Methane;

    Abstract : Boreal forests have the potential to mitigate the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. However, forestry alters the soil biogeochemical processes which can cause an increase in GHG emissions from nearby water bodies, soil and vegetation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Brain morphology and behavioural variation in relation to habitat and predation risk in minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Marina Gallego González; [2022]
    Keywords : brain size; Ecology; environmental complexity; European minnow; fish; geometric morphometrics; morphological divergence; phenotypic plasticity; schooling.;

    Abstract : So far, research on inter- and intraspecific teleost brain plasticity across different freshwater environments has been widely conducted. However, insights of brain morphological variation on social and predator avoidance behaviours are lacking. READ MORE

  5. 4. Brunifiering av boreala sjöar och vattendrag : en kunskapsöversikt och analys av trender i vattenkemin hos tre norrländska bäckar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Sebastian Carlzon; Andreas Uller; [2020]
    Keywords : brunifiering; DOC; Krycklan; dricksvatten;

    Abstract : Brunifiering av ytvatten är idag ett växande problem i många boreala vattensystem. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur det rådande kunskapsläget ser ut kring brunifiering av ytvatten i boreala sjöar och vattendrag. Studien innefattade även att undersöka bäckar i krycklans avrinningsområde utanför Umeå. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of Salinization on Lake Metabolism

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Emil Nordström; [2020]
    Keywords : Freshwater ecology; carbon flux; mesocosms; diurnal variation;

    Abstract : With rising salinity levels in many freshwaters across the globe caused by for example sealevel rise and de-icing salts, it becomes important to understand what effect it has on freshwater ecosystems, since the lakes and rivers themselves are important parts in the global carbon cycle. In this study I have looked at what effects increased salinity levels have on different lakes metabolism, specifically oxygen concentration and primary production. READ MORE
