Dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations have risen by a factor of two or more across much of Europe and North America during recent decades. These increases have affected the carbon cycle, light regime, drinking water treatability, and the energy and nutrient budgets of lakes and streams. However, while trends in DOM quantity are well characterised, information on how/whether qualitative pro

European ecosystems have been subject to extensive shifts in anthropogenic disturbance, primarily through atmospheric deposition, climate change, and land management. These changes have altered the macronutrient composition of aquatic systems, with widespread increases in organic carbon (C), and declines in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Less well known is how these disturbances have affected nu

Democracy festivals are events that aim to strengthen democracy by engaging citizens, politicians and organisations in dialogue and provide a more equal access to the agenda. In recent years, social media have become important arenas for agenda building, supposedly equalising the access to such processes.

Regeneration of Norway spruce, Picea abies, forests is to a large extent depending on the production of seeds from high quality plus trees in orchards. However, the seed yield is variable and unpredictable due to weather, pest insects and diseases. Thus, more knowledge is needed to improve planning of harvest and mitigation of pests and diseases to secure future forest regeneration. In this study,

Background: Young adults experience stressors in their transition to adulthood and are at increased risk of mental ill-health. This risk is compounded by young adults’ low levels of mental health literacy and limited competencies in implementing strategies promoting mental health and well-being in their daily lives. Previous research suggests that digital mental health apps may be particularly eff

PurposeSexual harassment in contexts of higher education is a well-documented problem with far reaching consequences for individuals and organizations. Questions remain about how sexual harassment is conceptualized and what implications these conceptualizations have for designing programmes to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in university settings. This study aimed to understand how stude
