Impact of CO2 leakage from sub-seabed carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) reservoirs on benthic virus-prokaryote interactions and functions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Atmospheric CO2 emissions are a global concern due to their predicted impact on biodiversity, ecosystems functioning, and human life. Among the proposed mitigation strategies, CO2 capture and storage, primarily the injection ... -
Impact of environmental factors on aquatic biodiversity in roadside stormwater ponds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Constructed stormwater ponds mitigate runoff volumes and pollution, and provide other ecosystem services, such as supporting biodiversity, but these services attracted relatively less attention. The impacts of the pollution ... -
Impact of inflow conditions on activated sludge filterability and membrane bioreactor (MBR) operational performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Operation and performance of MBRs for wastewater treatment is influenced by changes in activated sludge properties. Therefore, understanding of the factors influencing sludge filterability is of major importance for efficient ... -
The Impact of Methane Seepage on the Pore-Water Geochemistry across the East Siberian Arctic Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)East Siberian Arctic Shelf, the widest and the shallowest shelf of the World Ocean, covering greater than two million square kilometers, has recently been shown to be a significant modern source of atmospheric methane ... -
The impact of the spring 2020 snowmelt floods on physicochemical conditions in three Norwegian river-fjord-coastal systems
(NIVA-rapport;7651, Research report, 2021)Due to very high snow accumulation in the winter of 2019/2020, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) in late May 2020 issued flood forecasts predicting extremely high flood risk for parts of northern ... -
Impacts of multiple stressors on freshwater biota across spatial scales and ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate and land-use change drive a suite of stressors that shape ecosystems and interact to yield complex ecological responses (that is, additive, antagonistic and synergistic effects). We know little about the spatial ... -
Impacts of Riverine Floods on Morphodynamics in the Yellow River Delta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The geomorphological stability and ecological environment of megadeltas worldwide are of vital importance for their sustainable development. Deltaic hydro-morphodynamics is extremely sensitive to high riverine flow due to ... -
Impacts of salmon lice on mortality, marine migration distance and premature return in sea trout
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Brown trout Salmo trutta (L.) is a facultative anadromous species, where a portion of individuals in populations with access to the sea perform migrations to use the richer feeding resources. We investigated the effect of ... -
Impacts of water residence time on nitrogen budget of lakes and reservoirs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)As an important factor related to the self-purification capacity (e.g. denitrification, burial rate, and downstream output) in aquatic systems, water residence time (WRT) has great impacts on the nitrogen (N) dynamics and ... -
Impaired benthic macrofauna function 4 years after sediment capping with activated carbon in the Grenland fjords, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The sediments in the Grenland fjords in southern Norway are heavily contaminated by large emissions of dioxins and mercury from historic industrial activities. As a possible in situ remediation option, thin-layer sediment ... -
IMPASSE – Impacts of microplastic in agrosystems and stream environments
(NIVA-rapport;7632, Research report, 2021)We found that the application of biosolids from sewage sludge represents an important source of microplastics (MP) to agricultural soils. Soils that received more biosolid treatments in the past exhibit higher levels of ... -
Implementing the Minamata Convention on Mercury: Will China Deliver?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)China has undertaken a major shift in its position on mercury as an environmental problem over the last decade and a half. It ratified the Minamata Convention (MC) in 2016 and by doing so has committed to implement the ... -
Implications of Coastal Darkening for Contaminant Transport, Bioavailability, and Trophic Transfer in Northern Coastal Waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The increased transport of terrestrially derived organic material (tOM) from catchments to rivers and lakes is leading to browning of northern freshwaters.(1) Although the same environmental drivers can be expected to lead ... -
Implications of elevated CO2 on pelagic carbon fluxes in an Arctic mesocosm study - an elemental mass balance approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Recent studies on the impacts of ocean acidification on pelagic communities have identified changes in carbon to nutrient dynamics with related shifts in elemental stoichiometry. In principle, mesocosm experiments provide ... -
The importance of aquatic macrophytes in a eutrophic tropical shallow lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Inlay Lake is the second largest natural lake in Myanmar. Located in Shan State, in the eastern part of the country, it is a known biodiversity hotspot. The lake is negatively affected by an increasing local human population ... -
Importance of wave and current exposure to fauna communities in Laminaria hyperborea kelp forest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Hydrodynamic forces from waves and currents may have strong but different impacts on benthic diversity. In order to study the relative importance of current and wave exposure to the diversity of macrofauna associated with ... -
Improved Environmental Status: 50 Years of Declining Fish Mercury Levels in Boreal and Subarctic Fennoscandia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Temporally (1965–2015) and spatially (55°–70°N) extensive records of total mercury (Hg) in freshwater fish showed consistent declines in boreal and subarctic Fennoscandia. The database contains 54 560 fish entries (n: pike ... -
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. ... -
Improvement of aquaculture management practice by integration of hydrodynamic modelling
