Modelling Microplastics in the River Thames: Sources, Sinks and Policy Implications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)With widespread, long-term historical use of plastics and the presence of microplastics in a range of new and existing products, there is rising concern about their potential impacts on freshwater ecosystems. Understanding ... -
Modelling phosphorus loading and algal blooms in a Nordic agricultural catchment-lake system under changing land-use and climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)A model network comprising climate models, a hydrological model, a catchment-scale model for phosphorus biogeochemistry, and a lake thermodynamics and plankton dynamics model was used to simulate phosphorus loadings, total ... -
Modelling ROS formation in boreal lakes from interactions between dissolved organic matter and absorbed solar photon flux
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are increasing in a large number of lakes across the Northern hemisphere. This browning serves a dual role for biota by protecting against harmful ultraviolet radiation, ... -
Modelling study of soil C, N and pH response to air pollution and climate change using European LTER site observations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Current climate warming is expected to continue in coming decades, whereas high N deposition may stabilize, in contrast to the clear decrease in S deposition. These pressures have distinctive regional patterns and their ... -
Modelling the effects of climate and land-use change on the hydrochemistry and ecology of the River Wye (Wales)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Interactions between climate change and land use change might have substantial effects on aquatic ecosystems, but are still poorly understood. Using the Welsh River Wye as a case study, we linked models of water quality ... -
Modelling the influence from biota and organic matter on the transport dynamics of microplastics in the water column and bottom sediments in the Oslo fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The fate of microplastics (MP) in seawater is heavily influenced by the biota: the density of MP particles can be changed due to biofouling, which affects sinking, or MP can be digested by zooplankton and transferred into ... -
Modes of action and adverse effects of gamma radiation in an aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)High dose rates of ionizing radiation have been reported to cause adverse effects such as reduction in reproduction and growth, and damage to protein and lipids in primary producers. However, the relevant effects of ionizing ... -
Monitoring a Norwegian freshwater crayfish tragedy: eDNA snapshots of invasion, infection and extinction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)1. The European noble crayfish Astacus astacus is threatened by crayfish plague caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci, which is spread by the invasive North American crayfish (e.g. signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus). ... -
Monitoring litter and microplastics in Arctic mammals and bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plastic pollution has been reported to affect Arctic mammals and birds. There are strengths and limitations to monitoring litter and microplastics using Arctic mammals and birds. One strength is the direct use of these ... -
Monitoring marine populations and communities: methods dealing with imperfect detectability
(Journal article, 2012) -
Monitoring ocean water quality by deployment of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) eggs: In situ bioaccumulation and toxicity in embryos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Fish embryos can bioaccumulate and are particularly sensitive to a wide range of contaminants, which makes them suitable sentinels for environmental biomonitoring. However, fish embryos are very rarely utilized in environmental ... -
Monitoring of environmental DNA from nonindigenous species of algae, dinoflagellates and animals in the North East Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Monitoring the distribution of marine nonindigenous species is a challenging task. To support this monitoring, we developed and validated the specificity of 12 primer-probe assays for detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) ... -
Monitoring of microplastic pollution in the Arctic: Recent developments in polymer identification, quality assurance and control (QA/QC), and data reporting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The pollution of the environment with plastics is of growing concern worldwide, including the Arctic region. While larger plastic pieces are a visible pollution issue, smaller microplastics are not visible with the naked ... -
Monitoring of plastic debris in the lower Citarum River using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plastic pollution has become a problem in recent years. Various methods are used to reduce and prevent plastic pollution. Many methods have been used to estimate the abundance and transportation of plastics in waters, ... -
Monitoring of β-D-galactosidase activity as a surrogate parameter for rapid detection of sewage contamination in urban recreational water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Simple, automated methods are required for rapid detection of wastewater contamination in urban recreational water. The activity of the enzyme b-D-galactosidase (GAL) can rapidly (<2 h) be measured by field instruments, ... -
Monitoring photolysis and (solar photo)-Fenton of enrofloxacin by a methodology involving EEM-PARAFAC and bioassays: Role of pH and water matrix
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) by direct photolysis, Fenton and solar photo-Fenton processes has been studied in different water matrices, such as ultra-pure water (MQ), tap water (TW) and highly saline water (SW). ... -
Monitoring psychoactive substance use at six European festivals through wastewater and pooled urine analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The consumption of psychoactive substances is considered a growing problem in many communities. Moreover, new psychoactive substances (NPS) designed as (legal) substitutes to traditional illicit drugs are relatively easily ... -
Morphologically Conservative but Physiologically Diverse: The Mode of Stasis in Anostraca (Crustacea: Branchiopoda)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The essay discusses whether biotic and abiotic environments differ in their ability to speed up or slow down morphological change and the generation of new lineages. Examples from the class Branchiopoda show that morphological ... -
Mortality and transcriptional effects of inorganic mercury in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Inorganic mercury (Hg) is highly toxic to organisms including crustaceans and displays multiple toxic modes of action (MoA). The main aim of this investigation was to assess the acute and sublethal toxicity mediated by ... -
Movement of pulsed resource subsidies from kelp forests to deep fjords
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Resource subsidies in the form of allochthonous primary production drive secondary production in many ecosystems, often sustaining diversity and overall productivity. Despite their importance in structuring marine communities, ...
