Tackling the Challenging Determination of Trace Elements in Ultrapure Silicon Carbide by LA-ICP-MS
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The goal of accurately quantifying trace elements in ultrapure silicon carbide (SiC) with a purity target of 5N (99.999% purity) was addressed. The unsuitability of microwave-assisted acid digestion followed by Inductively ... -
Tales from a thousand and one ways to integrate marine ecosystem components when assessing the environmental status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Assessing the environmental status of marine ecosystems is useful when communicating key messages to policy makers or the society, reducing the complex information of the multiple ecosystem and biodiversity components and ... -
Target and suspect screening of psychoactive substances in sewage-based samples by UHPLC-QTOF
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The quantification of illicit drug and pharmaceutical residues in sewage has been shown to be a valuable tool that complements existing approaches in monitoring the patterns and trends of drug use. The present work delineates ... -
Technical Note: Mesocosm approach to quantify dissolved inorganic carbon percolation fluxes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fluxes across the vadose zone are influenced by a complex interplay of biological, chemical and physical factors. A novel soil mesocosm system was evaluated as a tool for providing information ... -
The technological development of drinking water treatment plants in the Czech Republic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Several actors have an impact on the quality of drinking water, but ultimately drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) play a decisive role in ensuring that water quality complies with public regulations. Several developing ... -
Temperature acclimation and heat tolerance of photosynthesis in Norwegian Saccharina latissima (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Kelps, seaweeds and seagrasses provide important ecosystem services in coastal areas, and loss of these macrophytes is a global concern. Recent surveys have documented severe declines in populations of the dominant kelp ... -
Temperature and prey density drive growth and otolith formation of the world's most valuable fish stock
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) represents the largest single-species fishery worldwide. Knowledge on how temperature and prey availability influences growth and age estimation during marine fish early life stages is ... -
Temperature and spatial connectivity drive patterns in freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity across the Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Warming in the Arctic is predicted to change freshwater biodiversity through loss of unique taxa and northward range expansion of lower latitude taxa. Detecting such changes requires establishing circumpolar baselines ... -
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial toxins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing ... -
Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Diatom (Bacillariophyceae) Communities in a Peatland Area
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This study was conducted to simultaneously investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of diatom communities inhabiting two microhabitat types (Sphagnum periphyton and epipelon) in a peatland area of the Czech Republic. ... -
Temporal biomass dynamics of an Arctic plankton bloom in response to increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Ocean acidification and carbonation, driven by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), have been shown to affect a variety of marine organisms and are likely to change ecosystem functioning. High latitudes, ... -

Terrestrial Inputs Drive Seasonality in Organic Matter and Nutrient Biogeochemistry in a High Arctic Fjord System (Isfjorden, Svalbard)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate-change driven increases in temperature and precipitation are leading to increased discharge of freshwater and terrestrial material to Arctic coastal ecosystems. These inputs bring sediments, nutrients and organic ... -
Terrestrial inputs govern spatial distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in an Arctic fjord system (Isfjorden, Svalbard)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Considerable amounts of previously deposited persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are stored in the Arctic cryosphere. Transport of freshwater and terrestrial material to the Arctic Ocean is increasing due to ongoing climate ... -
Terrestrial Inputs Shape Coastal Bacterial and Archaeal Communities in a High Arctic Fjord (Isfjorden, Svalbard)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Arctic is experiencing dramatic changes including increases in precipitation, glacial melt, and permafrost thaw, resulting in increasing freshwater runoff to coastal waters. During the melt season, terrestrial runoff ... -
Terrestrial organic matter increases zooplankton methylmercury accumulation in a brown-water boreal lake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Increases in terrestrial organic matter (tOM) transport from catchments to boreal lakes can affect methylmercury (MeHg) accumulation in aquatic biota both directly by increasing concentrations of aqueous MeHg, and indirectly ... -
The 'trickle down' of IWRM: A case study of local-level realities in the Inkomati Water Management Area, South Africa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The historical legacy in South Africa of apartheid and the resulting discriminatory policies and power imbalances are critical to understanding how water is managed and allocated, and how people participate in designated ... -
The abundance of kelp is modified by the combined impact of depth, waves and currents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study analyses the combined impact of two types of ocean water flow, wave exposure and ocean currents, on kelp Laminaria hyperborea abundance, taking other environmental co-variables into account. The dataset covers ... -
