• Catchment effects of a future Nordic bioeconomy: From land use to water resources 

      Skarbøvik, Eva; Jordan, Philip; Lepistö, Ahti; Kronvang, Brian; Stutter, Marc; Vermaat, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-14)
      In the future, the world is expected to rely increasingly on renewable biomass resources for food, fodder, fibre and fuel. The sustainability of this transition to bioeconomy for our water systems depends to a large extent ...
    • Comparing in situ turbidity sensor measurements as a proxy for suspended sediments in North-Western European streams 

      Skarbøvik, Eva; Gyritia Madsen van't Veen, Sofie; Lannergård, Emma E.; Wenng, Hannah Tabea; Stutter, Marc; Bieroza, Magdalena; Atcheson, Kevin; Jordan, Philip; Fölster, Jens; Mellander, Per-Erik; Kronvang, Brian; Marttila, Hannu; Kaste, Øyvind; Lepistö, Ahti; Kämäri, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-24)
      Climate change in combination with land use alterations may lead to significant changes in soil erosion and sediment fluxes in streams. Optical turbidity sensors can monitor with high frequency and can be used as a proxy ...
    • Comparing nutrient reference concentrations in Nordic countries with focus on lowland rivers 

      Skarbøvik, Eva; Aroviita, Jukka; Fölster, Jens; Lyche Solheim, Anne; Kyllmar, Katarina; Rankinen, Katri; Kronvang, Brian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-15)
      Reference conditions of water bodies are defined as the natural or minimal anthropogenically disturbed state. We compared the methods for determining total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations in rivers in Finland, ...
    • Land-use change in a Nordic future towards bioeconomy: A methodological framework to compare and merge stakeholder and expert opinions on qualitative scenarios 

      Solheim, Anne Lyche; Tolvanen, Anne; Skarbøvik, Eva; Kløve, Bjørn; Collentine, Dennis; Kronvang, Brian; Blicher-Mathiesen, Gitte; Hashemi, Fatemeh; Juutinen, Artti; Hellsten, Seppo; Pouta, Eija; Vermaat, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-23)
      Future development of bioeconomy is expected to change land use in the Nordic countries in agriculture and forestry. The changes are likely to affect water quality due to changes in nutrient run-off. To explore possible ...
    • Land-use dominates climate controls on nitrogen and phosphorus export from managed and natural Nordic headwater catchments 

      de Wit, Heleen A; Lepistö, Ahti; Marttila, Hannu; Wenng, Hannah; Bechmann, Marianne; Blicher-Mathiesen, Gitte; Eklöf, Karin; Futter, Martyn N.; Kortelainen, Pirkko; Kronvang, Brian; Kyllmar, Katarina; Rakovic, Jelena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10)
      Agricultural, forestry‐impacted and natural catchments are all vectors of nutrient loading in the Nordic countries. Here, we present concentrations and fluxes of total nitrogen (totN) and phosphorus (totP) from 69 Nordic ...
    • Potential impacts of a future Nordic bioeconomy on surface water quality 

      Marttila, Hannu; Lepistö, Ahti; Tolvanen, Anne; Bechmann, Marianne; Kyllmar, Katarina; Juutinen, Artti; Wenng, Hannah Tabea; Skarbøvik, Eva; Futter, Martyn; Kortelainen, Pirkko; Rankinen, Katri; Hellsten, Seppo; Kløve, Bjørn; Kronvang, Brian; Kaste, Øyvind; Solheim, Anne Lyche; Bhattacharjee, Joy; Rakovic, Jelena; de Wit, Heleen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)
      Nordic water bodies face multiple stressors due to human activities, generating diffuse loading and climate change. The ‘green shift’ towards a bio-based economy poses new demands and increased pressure on the environment. ...
    • Projecting the impacts of the bioeconomy on Nordic land use and freshwater quality and quantity – An overview 

      Vermaat, Jan; Skarbøvik, Eva; Kronvang, Brian; Juutinen, Artti; Hellsten, Seppo; Kyllmar, Katarina; Solheim, Anne Lyche; Kløve, Bjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-26)
      This paper synthesizes a five-year project (BIOWATER) that assessed the effects of a developing bioeconomy on Nordic freshwaters. We used a catchment perspective and combined several approaches: comparative analyses of ...
