• Annual changes in aquatic plant photosynthesis in the regulated river Otra and the effect of plant removal 

      Demars, Benoît Olivier Laurent; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Thiemer, Kirstine; Dörsch, Peter; Pulg, Ulrich; Stranzl, Sebastian Franz; Velle, Gaute; Pathak, Devanshi (NIVA-rapport;7858-2023, Research report, 2023)
      Mass development of submerged aquatic plants is often seen as nuisance for human activities. The present study used novel methods to estimate the changes in ecosystem photosynthesis (mostly Juncus bulbosus), through an ...
    • Hydropower: gas supersaturation and the role of aquatic plant photosynthesis for fish health 

      Demars, Benoît Olivier Laurent; Dörsch, Peter; Thiemer, Kirstine; Clayer, Francois; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Stranzl, Sebastian Franz; Pulg, Ulrich; Velle, Gaute (NIVA-rapport;7633, Research report, 2021)
      Fish and invertebrates breathing in water supersaturated with gas (total dissolved gas; TDG), e.g. at the outlet of hydropower plants, may develop gas bubble disease (analogous to the bends in humans). Aquatic plants also ...
