  1. 1. Changes in lake-water organic carbon over recent centuries in northern Sweden, Västerbotten : Past and present mechanisms, and the potential implications on mercury

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

    Author : Magnusson Petter; [2023]
    Keywords : Lake-water TOC; Summer forest farming; traditional agriculture; land-use; geochemistry; mercury;

    Abstract : Due to the current increase in lake water total organic carbon (LW-TOC), many studies have investigated the long-term dynamics using lake sediments. However, these have mainly been focused on Sweden’s south and south-central parts. READ MORE

  3. 2. Greenhouse gas emissions from three large lakes during the autumn 2020

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

    Author : Veronica Bohlin; Anja Anderö Nordqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : methane; carbon dioxide; dissolved inorganic carbon; pCO2; flux chambers; large lakes; methane budget; carbon budget; GHGs; freshwater; spatiotemporal; ebullition; diffusion; autumn; metan; koldioxid; upplöst oorganiskt kol; pCO2; kammarmetod; stora sjöar; metanbudget; koldioxidbudget; växthusgaser; sötvatten; spatiotemporal; ebullition; diffusion; höst;

    Abstract : Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are two greenhouse gases and main drivers of global climate change. Lakes are known to be a source of CH4 and CO2 to the atmosphere. While the importance of these emissions is clear, their magnitudes and regulation are still uncertain due to the scarcity of flux measurement data from lakes. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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 grundutbildning

    Author : Sofia Papadopoulou; [2021]
    Keywords : freshwater; lake; diel cycle; bacterioplankton; bacterial community composition;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Influence of land cover changes on organic carbon and organic nitrogen concentrations in Swedish rivers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Julia Iwan; [2021]
    Keywords : Total Organic Carbon TOC ; Total Organic Nitrogen TON ; Land Cover Change; Sweden; WaterBase; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : 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

  6. 5. Spatial variability of aquatic carbon dioxide and methane concentrations : A study of a hemi-boreal stream

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Hampus Haglund; Daniel Klingmyr; [2016]
    Keywords : Carbon dioxide; methane; spatial variability; greenhouse gases; stream emissions; freshwater carbon dynamics; natural greenhouse gas emissions;

    Abstract : Inland waters such as streams and lakes have recently been found to be supersaturated with both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) – the high concentrations resulting in significant natural emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Previous studies have shown that streams emit particularly large amounts of GHGs per area covered, but the spatial variability is very high and has rarely been studied in detail. READ MORE
