1. Controls over stream temperature in a northern boreal landscape
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : With widespread increases in air temperature, it is expected that the temperature of aquatic ecosystems will also increase, especially at high latitudes. Warmer streams and rivers could have severe, direct impacts on cold-adapted aquatic fauna but may also indirectly influence species by reducing the amount of suitable habitat. READ MORE

2. Modelling the Effects of Climate Change on Future DOC Export to Lake Mälaren Using a Generalized Watershed Loading Functions (GWLF) Model
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Browning of boreal freshwaters due to an increased export of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC) has been observed for some decennia. Drivers include recovery from acid deposition and changing climate and land cover. READ MORE

3. Spatial resolution of methane production and ebullition in Lake Alsta
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Freshwater ecosystems cover about 4 % of the Earth’s surface. Yet they are important components in the global C cycle, as they in addition to their within-lake primary production, receive and process organic matter loads originating from terrestrial environments.

5. The influence of diel cycles on the bacterial community composition of two boreal lakes : A case study in Jämtland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : In the Boreal region, the length of day and night varies extremely over the year and organisms are exposed to different diel (24 h) fluctuations of light and temperature. Among them are pelagic populations of bacteria that are ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems. READ MORE
