1. Influence of land cover changes on organic carbon and organic nitrogen concentrations in Swedish rivers
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : There is increasing pressure on freshwater systems due to excessive nutrient loading by anthropogenic sources. In Sweden, freshwaters have become browner due to increasing exports of organic matter from soils into streams, rivers, and lakes. READ MORE

2. Responses in river water quality during summers with extreme weather periods in Europe
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Europe has experienced several climate extremes during the past decades. These extreme events have increased in number and intensity and are projected to further intensify. Previous studies show that heatwaves, drought, and flood can have an impact on water quality in several ways. READ MORE

3. Decreasing organic nitrogen concentrations in European water bodies - links to organic carbon trends and land cover
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : European rivers experience increasing concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, low interest is given to the evolution of total organic nitrogen (TON) concentrations in surface waters, the links with TOC concentrations and the influence of the surrounding land cover on nutrient inputs.
