Environmental effects of offshore produced water discharges: A review focused on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
Benthic Diatom Communities in Urban Streams and the Role of Riparian Buffers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Urbanization impacts stream ecosystems globally through degraded water quality, altered hydrology, and landscape disturbances at the catchment and riparian scales, causing biodiversity losses and altered system functioning. ... -
The Structure of Riparian Vegetation in Agricultural Landscapes Influences Spider Communities and Aquatic-Terrestrial Linkages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Riparian habitats are important ecotones connecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but are often highly degraded by human activities. Riparian buffers might help support impacted riparian communities, and improve ... -
Multi-laboratory validation of a new marine biodegradation screening test for chemical persistence assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Current biodegradation screening tests are not specifically designed for persistence assessment of chemicals, often show high inter- and intra-test variability, and often give false negative biodegradation results. Based ... -
Common eider and herring gull as contaminant indicators of different ecological niches of an urban fjord system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Seabirds like gulls are common indicators in contaminant monitoring. The herring gull (Larus argentatus) is a generalist with a broad range of dietary sources, possibly introducing a weakness in its representativeness of ... -
New production across the shelf-edge in the northeastern North Sea during the stratified summer period
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)New production of organic matter from photosynthesis based on “new” nitrate transported into the illuminated surface layer fuels temperate ecosystems during periods of stratification when surface waters are nutrient limited. ... -
The role of photomineralization for CO2 emissions in boreal lakes along a gradient of dissolved organic matter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many boreal lakes are experiencing an increase in concentrations of terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (DOM)—a process commonly labeled “browning.” Browning affects microbial and photochemical mineralization ... -
Fluorinated Precursor Compounds in Sediments as a Source of Perfluorinated Alkyl Acids (PFAA) to Biota
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The environmental behavior of perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAA) and their precursors was investigated in lake Tyrifjorden, downstream a factory producing paper products coated with per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances ... -
Evaluering av ØKOKYST - stasjonsnett og klassegrenser
(NIVA-rapport;7527, Research report, 2020)Overvåkingsprogrammet "Økosystemovervåking i Kystvann – ØKOKYST" har til hensikt å overvåke miljøtilstanden i utvalgte områder langs norskekysten i henhold til vannforskriften. Miljødirektoratet har bedt NIVA gjennomgå ... -
Correcting for bias in freshwater total nitrogen concentrations obtained with a modified standard (NS4743) method
(NIVA-rapport;7538, Research report, 2020)Concentrations of total nitrogen (TotN) in freshwater monitoring programs were unreliable for a limited period, probably because of inadequate sample digestion when using a modified version of method NS 4743 (“method A”) ... -
Potential impacts of a future Nordic bioeconomy on surface water quality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nordic water bodies face multiple stressors due to human activities, generating diffuse loading and climate change. The ‘green shift’ towards a bio-based economy poses new demands and increased pressure on the environment. ... -
Methylmercury and inorganic mercury in Chinese commercial rice: Implications for overestimated human exposure and health risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)China is the largest rice producer and consumer in the world, and mercury (Hg) levels, particularly methylmercury (MeHg), in rice and health exposure risks are public concerns. Total Hg (THg) and MeHg levels in 767 (domestic ... -
De novo Development of a Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathway (qAOP) Network for Ultraviolet B (UVB) Radiation Using Targeted Laboratory Tests and Automated Data Mining
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a natural non-chemical stressor posing potential hazards to organisms such as planktonic crustaceans. The present study was conducted to revisit the lethal effects of UVB on crustaceans, ... -
Financial and Institutional Support Are Important for Large-Scale Kelp Forest Restoration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Kelps form extensive underwater forests that underpin valuable ecosystem goods and services in temperate and polar rocky coastlines globally. Stressors, such as ocean warming and pollution are causing regional declines of ... -
Gaps in current Baltic Sea environmental monitoring – Science versus management perspectives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Legislations and commitments regulate Baltic Sea status assessments and monitoring. These assessments suffer from monitoring gaps that need prioritization. We used three sources of information; scientific articles, project ... -
Improvement in municipal wastewater treatment alters lake nitrogen to phosphorus ratios in populated regions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Large-scale and rapid improvement in wastewater treatment is common practice in developing countries, yet this influence on nutrient regimes in receiving waterbodies is rarely examined at broad spatial and temporal scales. ... -
