  1. 6. Characterization of PLA Nanoplastics, and Their Effects on Daphnia magna

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Författare :Melinda Rydberg; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Polylactic acid; Polylactide; PLA; Nanoplastic; Daphnia magna; Toxicity; Polymer Technology; Chemistry; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : As plastic pollution in aquatic environments keeps happening it has become more and more important to learn more about nanoparticles. Bio-based and biologically degradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are gaining popularity and it is therefore important to determine whether they break down into nanoplastics or not.

  3. 7. P-cycling in sub-Arctic lakes – the importance of sediment release and retention

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

    Författare :Hanna Ravry; [2022]
    Nyckelord :phosphorus; sediment; oligotrophication;

    Sammanfattning : Oligotrophication is generally caused by a decreased nutrient availability, usually due to phosphorous limitation. This is a phenomenon impacting the entire food web and at worst causing cascading alterations within an ecosystem. Lakes of the Northern Hemisphere have lately been documented to be subjected to oligotrophication (e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Leachate-Based Biotic Ligand Model for Soil : Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment of Copper for Invertebrates, Plants, and Soil Microbial Processes

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Tove Florén; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Tomato shoot; Barley root; Glucose induced respiration; Nitrification; Earthworm; Springtail; EC10; SSD; Regression analysis; pH dependency; Bioavailability;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental pollution of heavy metals has become an increasing problem. Environmental risk assessments can be conducted to investigate and determine the potential risk of polluted terrestrial environments. Traditionally, risk assessments are based on total soil metal concentrations on a dry weight basis. LÄS MER

  5. 9. How does hydropeaking and geological substrate affect aquatic macroinvertebrates in a regulated river?

    Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Författare :Andreas Vernby; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Hydropeaking; geological substrate; aquatic macroinvertebrates; EPT species; Hester-Dendy samplers; Korttidsreglering; geologiskt substrat; akvatiska makroevertebrater; EPT; Hester-Dendy-provtagare;

    Sammanfattning : Hydropower is an important source of renewable energy, but is often a cause of degradation to river ecosystems. Hydropeaking, i.e. the frequent alteration of discharge, is a process involved in hydropower generation and has been proven to affect aquatic organisms negatively. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Influence of land cover changes on organic carbon and organic nitrogen concentrations in Swedish rivers

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
