  1. 1. Fish community responses to water colour : results along a large gradient from clear to brown lakes in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Stephanie Koch; [2019]
    Keywords : water browning; climate change; dissolved organic carbon; fish community; ; community composition; ; fish biomass;

    Abstract : An increase of dissolved organic carbon and iron in freshwater bodies across the Northern Hemisphere caused by environmental and land use changes lead to water browning with negative impacts on lake ecosystems. Effects of browning on aquatic ecosystems are complex and include reduced light penetration, thermal stratification, lower macrophyte cover, lower primary productivity, and potential shifts in species composition.

  3. 2. Pedigree reconstruction reveals large scale movement patterns and population dynamics of wolverines (Gulo gulo) across Fennoscandia

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Stephanie Higgins; [2019]
    Keywords : wolverine; pedigree; dispersal; genomics; connectivity;

    Abstract : Dispersal is a biological imperative for many species, facilitating gene flow and influencing population dynamics. Modern landscapes are increasingly fragmented, leaving species that rely on dispersal trapped in ever shrinking areas. READ MORE

  4. 3. Icelandic Glacial Ice Volume Changes and its Contribution to Sea Level Rise since the Little Ice Age Maximum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Stephanie Fish; [2016]
    Keywords : Iceland; Little Ice Age; sea level rise; volume-area scaling; glaciers; climate change; Island; Lilla istiden; havsnivåhöjning; volym-area skalning; glaciärer; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Satellite imagery and volume-area scaling are used to asses the glacier area and ice volume of Iceland from the Little Ice Age maximum to present day, obtaining a final result in sea level rise between 1890 - 2015. The Little Ice Age was a time of regional cooling, with glaciers reaching their maximum extent (~1890 for Iceland) with warming and glacier retreat after this period ended. READ MORE
