16. The nutrient-color paradigm : A test based on a comperative analysis of lakes in four ecoregions in Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The nutrient-color paradigm explains lake productivity as a function of the concentrations of nutrients and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the water column. Specifically, the paradigm predicts that primary production decreases with increasing concentrations of CDOM due to reduced light penetration, and increases with nitrogen or phosphorus concentration because these are typically the growth limiting elements for phytoplankton.

19. All scales matter : effects on the landscape-, stand-, substrate- and temporal scale on occurrence of two deadwood living microlichens

In this study, I investigate whether an extinction debt can be detected in two deadwood living lichen species by modelling their occurrence against past and present habitat amount in the landscape as well as amount of continuity forest (i.
