  1. 1. The Role of Functional Traits and Trade-offs in Seasonal Succession of Phytoplankton Community Structuring : A numerical investigation of resource acquisition traits of Lake Constance

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Ayesha Nagahage; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Phytoplankton; resource acquisition; traits; trade-off; resource limitation;

    Sammanfattning : Long-term ecological research in deep lakes offers valuable insights into understanding changes in trophic states and organization of phytoplankton assemblages. Utilizing five decades of phytoplankton taxonomic trait data from pre-alpine Lake Constance, a confirmed negative relationship was found between phosphate and light affinity at the annual community trait level.

  3. 2. Coupling between iron and humic substances in a land-sea transitional zone in the northern Baltic Sea

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Anna Osterman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Iron; Humic substances; Dissolved organic carbon; Baltic Sea; Rivers;

    Sammanfattning : In marine ecosystems around the world, iron (Fe) is a well-studied and important trace element which has been found to stimulate phytoplankton and cyanobacteria growth, as well as limit nitrogen fixation and being essential for Legionella pneumophila which is known as the main cause of Legionnaires’ disease. Fe also contributes to the brownification of freshwater and has recently been documented to increase in concentration in rivers in Sweden. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Impact of Sea Surface Temperature and Salinity on Phytoplankton blooms phenology in the North Sea

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

    Författare :Krystyna Muszel; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; North Sea; phytoplankton; bloom; phenology; remote sensing; TIMESAT software; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Various environmental forcings can affect phytoplankton blooms, resulting in changes in bloom timing and abundance, which can have many far-reaching consequences. Understanding bloom phenology is crucial to predict and counter any potential harmful changes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Accumulation of 63Ni, 106Ru and 125Sb in phytoplankton

    Master-uppsats,

    Författare :Yusuf Ali; [2022-08-22]
    Nyckelord :Medical physics; Environmental radiology; Nuclear Power Plants; concentration factor CF ; phytoplankton; phaeodactylum tricornutum; radioactive releases; nickel; ruthenium; antimony; gamma spectroscopy; liquid scintillation counting;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) release small amounts of radionuclides which contribute with a low radiation dose to the environment as well as humans and animals. In this context, marine ecosystems are critical, since most NPPs in Sweden are located by the sea. LÄS MER
