  1. 1. Temperature Optimum for Biomass Production of two Species of Benthic Diatoms

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Vilmer Jansson; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diatoms and other algae can be cultivated and beneficially used in several sectors with applications ranging from nutrient recycling to production of high-valued biomaterials used by the green energy industries, in pharmaceutical products or as food supplements. In this experimental study, the temperature optimum for biomass production was tested for two species of benthic diatoms, Diatoma sp. READ MORE

    Keywords : benthic; diatoms; cultivation; thermal performance; photosynthetic pigments;

    Abstract : Temperature has a significant impact on structure and abundance of microalgal community as well as on physiology (Sheehan et al., 2020). READ MORE

  4. 3. How brownification and eutrophication effects a drinking water source – with Lake Bolmen, Sweden, in focus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Stina Stomberg; [2022]
    Keywords : brownification; eutrophication effects; drinking water; phytoplankton; Lake Bolmen; mesocosm; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Diatoms from the late Holocene of the western Chukchi Sea, Arctic Ocean: environmental signals and palaeoceanography

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Erik Browaldh; [2022]
    Keywords : diatoms; late holocene; SWERUS-L2-2-PC1; Herald Canyon; Chukchi Sea; ice-algae; sympagic; cryophilic; warm water diatom; Bering Sea Water species; bottom water temperature; BWT; benthic foraminifera; palaeothermometry; ice dynamics; Fragilariopsis; Fossula arctica; Paralia sulcata; Shionodiscus oestrupii; Thalassiosira simonsenii; Chaetoceros; Chaetoceros sp. 7;

    Abstract : The sediment Core SWERUS-L2-2-PC1 (2PC) retrieved from the Chukchi Sea, Arctic Ocean sits in an oceanographically dynamic location at the Arctic-Pacific Ocean gateway. The 8.3 m-long core was retrieved in Herald Canyon at the marginal ice zone at 57 m depth. READ MORE

  6. 5. Odensjön - A new varved lake sediment record from southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Hanna Hertzman; [2021]
    Keywords : Varved lake sediment; late Holocene; organic sediments; diatoms; land-use history; southern Sweden; palaeolimnology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Annually laminated (varved) sediments provide opportunities to reconstruct climate change and human impact on the environment with high temporal resolution. Depending on the character of the varves, such sediments can provide insight into the delivery of both autochthonous and allochthonous material from the lake and its catch- ment and answer questions regarding both regional and local responses to climate- and land-use changes.
