Longterm consequences of one year of draining on biodiversity in Arctic ponds

In 2019, 19 ponds in Kongsfjorden were sampled, however, due to an extremely warm summer in 2020, 8 out of 19 completely dried out. In 2021 all ponds contained water again. We expect that due the high temperatures, increased evaporation and a deeper active layer have caused the desiccation. As cl...

KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Winter limnology under a changing climate: winter conditions, lake biogeochemistry, and food web dynamics.

Winter climate is rapidly changing, leading to higher air temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and reduced ice cover duration on seasonally frozen lakes. Due to historic neglect of winter by lake scientists, the consequences of these changes for lake ecosystems are not well-understood. ...

JPIWATER-Water Challenges for a Changing World

Mass development of aquatic macrophytes - causes and consequences of macrophyte removal for ecosystem structure, function, and services

I MadMacs-prosjektet undersøkte vi seks lokaliteter i elver og innsjøer med masseutvikling av vannplanter. Lokalitetene var i Norge, Tyskland, Frankrike, Sør-Afrika og Brasil, og vannplantene ble oppfattet som problematiske av vannforvaltere og lokalbefolkningen. På hvert sted fjernet vi vannplan...

MILJØFORSK-Miljøforskning for en grønn samfunnsomstilling

Lakes in Transition: a Biogeochemical Modelling Approach

Overholdelse av vannkvalitetsforskrifter verden over er avhengig av vår evne til å forbedre vannkvaliteten og hindre ytterligere forverring. Vanligvis vurderes tiltak i nedbørsfelt og restaurering av innsjøer ved å se på endringer i økologiske indikatorer, slik som algeoppblomstring eller fiskebe...

FORURENS: Occurrence, dispersal modeling and toxic effects of a multitude of contaminants in Lake Mjøsa - a deep Nordic lake

The project will focus on the occurrence and fate of a multitude of pollutants in Lake Mjøsa. This deep fjord lake is the largest lake in Norway, and it has been supplied with a multitude of both classical and newly discovered, less studied contaminants. Recent studies have proved exceptional hig...

FORURENS-Forurensning

The future role for Nitrogen in acidification; investigating the changes in N runoff using modeling, empirical and experimen......se 141498

During recent years attention has been drawn upon increased leakage of nitrate from mountain and heathland areas receiving high Nitrogen deposition. Increased leakage of nitrate may cause deterioration of drinking water, acidification of surface waters an d contribute to marine eutrophication. In...

BIOEVO-Evolusjonsbiologi og økologi

Elemental ratios in fresh-water plankton; implications for community structure and energy transfer in food webs

The transfer of energy through food webs will be determined by the "growth efficiency" in terms of carbon for the individual members of the foodweb. Recent studies have clearly confirmed that the elemental ratios of the food will be a major determinant to this energy transfer or "trophic efficien...
