Abstract:
<p>Naturvårdsverket rankar övergödningen som det allvarligaste hotet mot Östersjön. Strategin för att bekämpa övergödningen i Östersjön har varit att reducera antropogena utsläpp av fosfor och kväve från punktkällor och diffusa källor. Många forskare anser att primärproduktionen i egentliga Östersjön huvudsakligen är begränsad av kväve varför Sverige har infört ett ambitiöst och kostsamt program för avancerad kväverening på reningsverk. Andra experter hävdar istället att reducerade kväveutsläpp är meningslösa eller rent av skadliga.</p><p>I ljuset av dessa fundamentalt olika åsikter och de hel

Abstract:
In the past, it was widely assumed that deep drainage and the resultant movement of salts, nutrients and organochlorine pesticides was negligible in Vertosols (self-mulching grey and brown clays, and black earths) of the Lower Namoi Valley, New South Wales, Australia. Recent research however has shown that in fact deep drainage does occur. The main concern, therefore, is their movement beyond the reach of crop roots. Groundwater systems in the Lower Namoi Valley have been reported to be declining, suggesting that deep drainage is not reaching groundwater. Accumulation of salts, nutrients and

Abstract:
Η έννοια του περιβάλλοντος στις μέρες μας αποτελεί ίσως ένα από τα πλέον καυτά θέματα συζήτησης όχι μόνο στους κόλπους της επιστημονικής κοινότητας αλλά και στην καθημερινότητα των σύγχρονων ανθρώπων. Η παρουσία του ανθρώπου σε ένα οικοσύστημα, το οποίο έχει προσαρμοστεί στις ανάγκες του και τροποποιηθεί ανάλογα, με στόχο να καλύπτει τις απαιτήσεις του έχει ως αποτέλεσμα να δέχεται εισροές από το εξωτερικό περιβάλλον και να παράγει εισροές με την σειρά του για άλλα συστήματα. Σήµερα η απειλή από ένα πλήθος περιβαλλοντικών πιέσεων καθιστά αναγκαία τη γνώση εκείνων των παραγόντων που οδηγούν σ

Abstract:
Most coastal ecosystems are dominated by marine macrophytes that deliver a range of ecologically and economically important services such as carbon and nitrogen cycling and storage, and habitat provision to a range of associated species. The relative contribution of these services among different vegetated habitats, however, and their alteration due to anthropogenic stressors is little known. In this thesis, I first examined the within and between ecosystem structure and services of eelgrass (Zostera marina) and rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) beds in Atlantic Canada. Both habitats significantl
