  1. 1. Ecological impacts of dam removal in Swedish inland waters : Effects on water chemistry and fish demography

    Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Författare :Johanna Ekman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :biology; ecology; dam removal; Sweden; impact; inland waters; ecosystem; water chemistry; fish demography; Perca fluviatilis; European perch; biologi; ekologi; dammutrivning; Sverige; påverkan; inlandsvatten; ekosystem; vattenkemi; fiskdemografi; Perca fluviatilis; abborre;

    Sammanfattning : Dams play an important role in our society, but their negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems have led to a need for conservation efforts to mitigate the negative effects. In some instances, dam removal has been suggested to be the most economically and ecologically beneficial restoration method to improve longitudinal connectivity. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Influence of Macrophytes on Aquatic Microclimate

    Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och botanik; Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning (BIG)

    Författare :Julia Elliot; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : How terrestrial vegetation influences microclimate and what effects this has on associated ecosystems is well studied, but it is less known if and how aquatic macrophytes affect their microclimate. In this study I therefore aim to investigate the question of how aquatic macrophytes influence their microclimate, and how these effects in turn may affect associated aquatic organisms and ecosystems.

  4. 3. Newly inundated forest landscapes - hotspots for mercury in water and benthic fauna

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Författare :Kirstine Evald Andersson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Wetland restoration; Inundation; Mercury cycling; Beaver impoundments; Aquatic biogeochemis-try;

    Sammanfattning : Mercury (Hg) is a widespread contaminant in high-latitude aquatic ecosystems, where it can undergo microbial transfor-mation into toxic methylmercury (MeHg). Due to its chemical properties, MeHg tends to accumulate in the aquatic food chain and will eventually end up in predatory species at the top of the terrestrial food web. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Effects of Forest Ditch Cleaning on Surface Water Quality

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Författare :Emeli Arvidsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Ditch cleaning; forest clear-cut; water quality; water chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Ditch cleaning (DC) is recommended by authorities to Swedish landowners to maintain forest productivity after forest harvest by lowering groundwater tables of catchment soils. Knowledge regarding the impact of this practice on surface water quality is limited, and results from previous research vary. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of vegetation and nutrients on methanotroph abundance and methane emissions from constructed wetlands

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Författare :Klara Yngve; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Diffusive flux; Ebullition; Dissolved CH4; CH4 oxidation; Phosphorous;

    Sammanfattning : Agriculture is the largest anthropogenic source of nitrogen and phosphorous (P) leakage to Swedish coastal seas, causing eutrophication which threatens marine ecosystems. Constructing wetlands is one way to improve nutrient retention in the modern agricultural landscape. However, constructed wetlands can emit substantial amounts of methane (CH4). LÄS MER
