  1. 1. Effects of allochthonous organic matter and iron on plankton community functioning and annual carbon cycling in a subarctic estuary under winter conditions.

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

    Author : Hendricus Verheijen; [2016]
    Keywords : C cycling; plankton respiration; Fe; Öre estuary;

    Abstract : High winter respiration has been observed in a subarctic estuary with high levels of organic matter inputs, while winter is generally thought to be a non-productive season. We constructed an oxygen and carbon budget of the system to validate the high respiration rate, including the resulting low production-to-respiration ratio, and to identify important carbon and energy sources.

  3. 2. Control of marine plankton respiration : High temperature sensitivity at low temperatures influenced by substrate availability

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

    Author : Katharina Amundsson; [2016]
    Keywords : plankton respiration; temperature; substrate; limiting factors; Q10; Baltic Sea;

    Abstract : Temperature dependence of marine plankton respiration is an important factor in understanding the function and changes in the ecosystem of the ocean. The aim of this study is to test the temperature sensitivity (Q10) of plankton respiration. The oxygen optode method was used to measure plankton respiration. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization of quality assured dataflow from biosensors : Time series analysis of plankton respiration by oxygen optode

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Umeå marina forskningscentrum (UMF); Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap; Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Manfred Lindmark; [2015]
    Keywords : sensor; oxygen; data; compilation; quality assurance; calculations; flow; sensor; syre; data; behandling; kvalitetsäkring; beräkning; flöde;

    Abstract : Data analysis can be a time consuming part of an experimental method, especially when the method is used frequently and large amounts of data are produced each time. In this study, an application software was developed to improve work flow and data management for respiration rate measurements using an optical oxygen sensor. READ MORE
