Nutrient enrichment

The research at the department concerns both the sources of eutrophication and restoration and mitigation.

Examples of research projects

• DAEMONS – Drivers And Effects of Modified Nutrient Stoichiometry from Source to Sea
• Do the cyanobacteria perform nitrogen fixation in the Bothnian Sea?
• LifeIP Rich Waters
• Phosphorous leaching from sediments – legacy is the last obstacle for longterm restauration of lakes
• Sources, characterization and transport of sediment bound phosphorus in small agricultural streams
• TaRgEting Low-Sorption Soils to reduce phosphorus losses (TiRELeSS)

Wetlands and nutrient retention

• Research about wetlands and dams at the department (in Swedish)
