Abstract Since 1950 humans have introduced 8300 teragrams (Tg, 10 12 g, millions of metric tons) plastic polymers into the Earth’s surface environment. Accounting for dispersal and fate produced plastics fragmented microplastics in environment has been challenging. Recent studies fueled debate on global river budget transport to oceans, sinking beaching marine emission deposition atmospheric microplastics. Here we define a cycle budget, develop box model cycling, including fragmentation...
Abstract Lakes play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle by burying C sediments and emitting CO 2 CH 4 to atmosphere. The strengths control of these fundamentally different pathways are therefore interest when assessing continental balance its response environmental change. In this study, based on new high-resolution estimates combination with literature data, we show that annual emission:burial ratios generally ten times higher boreal compared subarctic – arctic lakes. These...
Abstract Peatlands in northern latitudes sequester one third of the world’s soil organic carbon. Mineral dusts can affect primary productivity terrestrial systems through nutrient transport but this process has not yet been documented these peat-rich regions. Here we analysed and inorganic fractions an 8900-year-old sequence from Store Mosse (the “Great Bog”) southern Sweden. Between 5420 4550 cal yr BP, observe a seven-fold increase net peat-accumulation rates corresponding to maximum...
Abstract Aim The Arctic is one of the planet's most rapidly warming regions, with trends expected to intensify in future. Projections shifts species distributional ranges under future climate change are thus far lacking for vertebrate using tundra. Our aim was assess possible climate‐induced changes and inter‐specific overlap an assemblage within world's largest land‐based protected area. Location During 1979–2013 location data eight birds mammals, fox ( Vulpes lagopus ), hare Lepus arcticus...
Abstract. Saharan dust outbreaks have profound effects on ecosystems, climate, human health, and the cryosphere in Europe. However, spatial deposition pattern of is poorly known due to a sparse network ground measurements. Following extreme event February 2021 across Europe, citizen science campaign was launched sample snow over Pyrenees European Alps. This somewhat improvised triggered wide interest since 152 samples were collected from Pyrenees, French Alps, Swiss Alps less than 4 weeks....
In Central Sweden an estimated 80% of the lakes contain fish exceeding health guidelines for mercury. This area overlaps extensively with Bergslagen ore region, where intensive mining iron ores and massive sulfide occurred over past millennium. Although only a few mines still operate today, thousands mineral occurrences sites are documented in region. Here, we present data on long-term mercury pollution 16 sediment records from 15 lakes, which indicate that direct release to watercourses was...
ABSTRACT Understanding the drivers influencing ungulate population dynamics is crucial for developing conservation and management strategies to support wildlife health. Trace macro elements are vital growth, reproduction survival. Thus, trajectory of populations may be associated with element imbalances. Element concentrations can measured in hair, an increasingly recognised bio‐monitoring tool. However, a better understanding relevance wild needed. This study aimed assess if profiles hair...
The past decade has seen a rapid increase in interest the biogeochemical record preserved peat, particularly as it relates to carbon dynamics and environmental change. Importantly, recent studies show that dynamics, is, organic matter decomposition, can influence of atmospherically derived elements such halogens mercury. Most commonly, bulk density, light transmission, or carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratios are used proxy qualitatively infer degree decomposition but do these three proxies reflect...
We present a high-resolution peat paleodust and accumulation rate record spanning the last 8300 years from Draftinge Mosse (400 ha), southern Sweden (57°06′27.6"N 13°42′54.1″E). The was analysed for rates (PAR), elemental concentrations, mineralogy, plant macrofossil content. Five periods of increased mineral deposition were recorded. first event occurred between ~6280 ~5570 cal BP, during fen to bog transition. This is followed by four atmospheric dust events (DE) which recorded in...
Atmospheric mineral dust not only interacts with the climate system by scattering incoming solar radiation and affecting atmospheric photochemistry, but also contributes critical nutrients to marine terrestrial ecosystems. In a high-resolution analysis of paleodust deposition, peat development soil sources, we assess interplay between deposition bog Davidsmosse in south-western Sweden. Analyses 5400-year record (458 cm) included radiocarbon dating, bulk density, ash content, chemical...
Parasites can exert a substantial influence on the ecology of wildlife populations by altering host condition. Our objectives were to estimate single and multiparasite-condition relationships for fallow deer (Dama dama) red (Cervus elaphus) in Denmark assess potential health effects along parasite burden gradient. Fallow hosted average two endoparasite taxa per individual (min = 0, max 5) while carried five 2, 9). Body condition both species was negatively related presence Trichuris ssp....
