© 2019, The Author(s). The Baltic Sea is suffering from eutrophication caused by nutrient discharges from land to sea, and these loads might change in a changing climate. We show that the impact from climate change by mid-century is probably less tha...

Methane emissions from tree stems in neotropical peatlands (2019)
Journal Article
Sjögersten, S., Siegenthaler, A., Lopez, O. R., Aplin, P., Turner, B., & Gauci, V. (2020). Methane emissions from tree stems in neotropical peatlands. New Phytologist, 225(2), 769-781. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16178

Neotropical peatlands emit large amounts of methane (CH4) from the soil surface, but fluxes from tree stems in these ecosystems are unknown. In this study we investigated CH4 emissions from five tree species in two forest types common to neotropical... Read More about Methane emissions from tree stems in neotropical peatlands.

Zinc uptake and phyto-toxicity: Comparing intensity- and capacity-based drivers (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Metal bioavailability and phytotoxicity may be exaggerated when derived from studies based on amending soils with soluble metal salts. It is therefore important to evaluate soil tests for their consistency in estimating plant upt... Read More about Zinc uptake and phyto-toxicity: Comparing intensity- and capacity-based drivers.

Stable isotopes reveal independent carbon pools across an Arctic hydro-climatic gradient: Implications for the fate of carbon in warmer and drier conditions (2019)
Journal Article
Osburn, C. L., Anderson, N. J., Leng, M. J., Barry, C. D., & Whiteford, E. J. (2019). Stable isotopes reveal independent carbon pools across an Arctic hydro-climatic gradient: Implications for the fate of carbon in warmer and drier conditions. Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 4(6), 205-213. https://doi.org/10.1002/lol2.10119

Arctic lakes are poised for substantial changes to their carbon (C) cycles in the near future. Autochthonous processes in lakes which consume inorganic C and create biomass that can be sequestered in sediments are accompanied by allochthonous inputs...

The mining and processing of copper from the Kilembe mine between 1956 and 1982 left behind millions of tons of cupriferous and cobalt ferrous mine tailings within the Kilembe mine catchment. Subsequent erosion and deposition of the tailings into adj... Read More about Uptake of trace elements by food crops grown within the Kilembe copper mine catchment, Western Uganda.

The importance of fisheries and aquaculture production for nutrition and food security (2019)
Journal Article

Aquatic food has a significant role to play in global nutrition and food security but is often ignored in that debate. Understanding its potential role is made difficult by the fact that aquatic food covers a large number of species which come from b...
