ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF AEROSOLS MEASURED IN SOUTHERN SCANDINAVIA.
A series of aerosol measurements have been carried out at three of the Nordic EMEP stations in February - June 1980 to assess the impact of long range transport of air pollutants from continental sources on their concentrations in remote areas. The results show that measured concentrations of several air pollutants at Birkenes (Norway), Rörvik (Sweden)

Patterns of Freshwater Fish Vulnerability in European Rivers
ABSTRACT European rivers are home to more than 600 native freshwater‐dependent fish species, with nearly half of them raising some level of conservation concern. Tackling this decline requires prioritising efforts towards the most vulnerable communities, at a spatial scale aligned with river restoration.

Arctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.
