  1. 1. Change in uptake and transfer of zinc in the food chain when predatory fish disappear from the system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Westerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Aquatic food web; Food chain structure; Trophic transfer; Decline of top predators; Stage-structured biomass model; Pollutants; Heavy metals; Zinc; Akvatisk födoväv; Födovävsstruktur; Trofisk överföring; Minskning av toppredatorer; Stegstrukturerad biomassamodell; Föroreningar; Tungmetaller; Zink;

    Abstract : There is a widespread distribution of possibly toxic heavy metals, such as zinc, in aquatic ecosystems. Simultaneously aquatic food webs are changing due to declining predatory fish stocks. READ MORE

  3. 2. Continuous leaching of phosphorus from sewage sludge ash

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sofie Göransson; [2022]
    Keywords : Ash leaching; Continuous stirred tank reactor; CSTR; Phosphorus recovery; Sewage sludge ash;

    Abstract : The global demand for food is increasing. Different nutrients are used to increase growth in agriculture and are thus essential for the world ́s food supply. An important and common nutrient is phosphorus. It can be mined, in the form of phosphate, from phosphate rock. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hg concentration in humus soils in different Arctic and Subarctic tundra vegetation types : Including a method comparison for analyzing metals in humus soils

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Alice Sandvärn; [2022]
    Keywords : Hg concentration; vegetation types; Arctic tundra; elevation gradient; XRF;

    Abstract : Heavy metals, such as mercury (Hg), have a long residence time in the atmosphere and can be transported long distances and deposited in the Arctic via wet and dry deposition. Still, there are few studies on the complex mercury cycle and how different plant groups absorb Hg. READ MORE

  6. 5. Stars Eating Planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Wimarsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and planetary astrophysics; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planet consumption; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. READ MORE
