1. Effects of drought on waterchemistry in a boreal streamnetwork
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Hydrological drought at high latitudes represents a rising environmental hazard induced byglobal climate change. Yet, we still know little about how drought events influence thebiogeochemistry of boreal streams. READ MORE

2. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) : Differences in reactivity amongst water sources to boreal streams in Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The importance of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to aquatic environments is well established in the scientific community. In boreal landscapes, small streams receive water from headwater lakes, mires, and discrete flow paths that drain riparian soils. READ MORE

3. Climate change impact on water balance and export of dissolved organic carbon : a sub-catchment modelling approach
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle in the 21st century with implications for the water balance and water quality. As characteristics of the landscape may vary significantly between nearby locations, hydrological models need to be able to delineate responses attributed to specific landscape characteristics, to estimate their responses to altered climatic drivers.

4. Landscape factors related to performance of in-situ sensors for prediction of total phosphorus : a statistical analysis of data from 194 streams in Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and AssessmentAbstract : Accurate monitoring data of phosphorus concentrations in the water will benefit the evaluation of measures taken to reduce the problems of eutrophication. Today, the quantification of phosphorus loads from diffuse sources involves large uncertainties. READ MORE

5. Catchment influences on mercury methylation in a peatland chronosequence
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and AssessmentAbstract : Since the beginning of industrialization, emissions of mercury (Hg) from human activities in excess of natural levels have increased depo-sition rates to ecosystems, storage in soils and loading to aquatic envi-ronments. Toxicity to animals, subject to this accumulation, as well as to humans consuming them, are the major concerns driving research on this subject. READ MORE
