  Significant increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) has been found in Chinese croplands. Current literature largely attributes this to the increased organic C inputs from manure, crop straw and root. However, using a meta-analysis of 185 long-term trials and 6669 spatial data pairs across China, we show here that soil acidification is an additional significant cause for the SOC accumulation. Results from long-term experiments showed that soilacidification due to excessive N fertilization coincided with, and significantly (p< 0.01) contributed to, the observed SOC accrual. Spatially, the amount of SOC increase caused by soil acidification decreased with in-creasing initial content. In addition, the soil’s basal respiration rate (SBRR), microbial metabolic quotient (MMQ)and the percentage of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) relative to total SOC decreased significantly (p< 0.01)with soil pH decline. This indicates that soil acidification depresses the decomposition of organic matter, both by decreasing microbial activity and by increasing protection of SOC by mineral phases. Thus, N-induced soil acidification promotes the SOC accumulation in Chinese croplands, by increasing its stability. In contrast to the current view emphasizing the importance of organic C inputs, our meta-analysis reveals an alternative mechanism connecting N-fertilization and the resulting SOC accumulation in agricultural ecosystems. More re-search is needed to further clarify its operating processes, relative importance, and agro-environmental consequences.

  Effects of mitigation measures in agriculture on abating eutrophication are difficult to evaluate by assessments of catchment monitoring data. Estimates of improved water quality by specific agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) are therefore often dependent on simulation modeling. A main objective was thus to assess the probable reductions in total phosphorus (TP) loading achieved by implemented agricultural mitigation measures. The case-study site was a catchment in southeastern Norway. Simulation modeling was conducted by use of The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The aim of this present study was to understand the model uncertainty associated both with calibration/validation (baseline) and TP loading scenarios based on BMP. The modeled decrease in TP loading by the set of implemented BMPs was assessed by comparing simulated baseline output with output where the set of abatement actions were removed. The model was set up for the years 2006–2010 and calibrated against observed monitoring data, including daily discharge, sediment- and TP fluxes. Model simulations were performed including and excluding the implemented set of mitigation measures. The simulated set of mitigation measures include decrease in amount of phosphorus fertilization, establishment of vegetated buffer strips along streams and constructed wetlands in the water courses, no autumn tilling and removal of point TP sources from scattered dwellings. Model calibration and uncertainty estimation are performed using an algorithm for Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SUFI2; ver. 2). Probabilistic risk for given magnitudes of increased TP loading if existing BMPs were not implemented was assessed. Using this novel approach it was possible to state, with a 80th percentile confidence level, that the average annual TP loading would have been about 26% higher if no mitigation measures were implemented in the catchment. This was possible to assess even though the difference between baseline and BMP scenario was not significant.

  Interdisciplinary research and transdisciplinary processes as part of environmental management respond to the increasing complexity of socio-natural changes in recent decades. Two similar studies of eutrophication in raw water reservoirs for drinking water Production in Norway and China are used to discuss interdisciplinary Research and transdisciplinary processes organised through the DPSIR framework (drivers, pressures, states, impacts, and responses) as instruments for environmental management. The conclusion is that interdisciplinary research and transdisciplinary processes can enhance the understanding of complex socio-natural processes under distinctly different institutional systems. The DPSIR framework was not necessary for achieving the desired result.

  Nitramines are potentially carcinogens that form from the amines used in post-combustion CO2 capture (PCCC). The soil sorption characteristics of monoethanol (MEA)- and dimethyl (DMA)-nitramines have been assessed using a batch experimental setup, and defined indirectly by measuring loss of nitramine (LC-MS/MS) from the aqueous phase (0.01 M CaCl2 and 0.1% NaN3) after equilibrium had been established with the soil (24 h). Nitramine soil sorption was found to be strongly dependent on the content of organic matter in the soil (r2 = 0.72 and 0.95, p < 0.05). Soil sorption of MEA-nitramine was further influenced by the quality of the organic matter (Abs254 nm, r2 = 0.93, p < 0.05). This is hypothesized to be due to the hydroxyl group on the MEA-nitramine, capable of forming hydrogen bonds with acidic functional groups on the soil organic matter. Estimated organic carbon normalized soil–water distribution coefficients (KOC) are relatively low, and within the same range as for simple amines. Nevertheless, considering the high content of organic matter commonly found in the top layer of a forest soil, this is where most of the nitramines will be retained. Presented data can be used to estimate final concentrations of nitramines in the environment following emissions from amine-based PCCC plants.

  Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas that also plays the primary role in stratospheric ozone depletion. The use of nitrogen fertilizers is known as the major reason for atmospheric N2O increase. Empirical bottom-up models therefore estimate agricultural N2O inventories using N loading as the sole predictor, disregarding the regional heterogeneities in soil inherent response to external N loading. Several environmental factors have been found to influence the response in soil N2O emission to N fertilization, but their interdependence and relative importance have not been addressed properly. Here, we show that soil pH is the chief factor explaining regional disparities in N2O emission, using a global meta-analysis of 1,104 field measurements. The emission factor (EF) of N2O increases significantly (p < .001) with soil pH decrease. The default EF value of 1.0%, according to IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) for agricultural soils, occurs at soil pH 6.76. Moreover, changes in EF with N fertilization (i.e. DEF) is also negatively correlated (p < .001) with soil pH. This indicates that N2O emission in acidic soils is more sensitive to changing N fertilization than that in alkaline soils. Incorporating our findings into bottom-up models has significant consequences for regional and global N2O emission inventories and reconciling them with those from top-down models. Moreover, our results allow region-specific development of tailor-made N2O mitigation measures in agriculture.

  The term “integrated valuation” is defined and its relevance is discussed in terms of bridging the gap between cost-effectiveness analysis and economic valuation in the implementation of the European Union Water Framework Directive. We demonstrate how to integrate benefit valuation with the ecosystem services cascade framework using an Object-Oriented Bayesian Network (OOBN). The OOBN is then used to assess the benefits of nutrient abatement measures across a cascade of submodels of the driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) chain for the Vanemfjord lake in Morsa catchment in south-eastern Norway. The lake is part of a complex lake system in a semi-urbanized catchment dominated by forest and agriculture. The catchment has highly variable seasonal climatic conditions affecting nutrient run-off and algal blooms. It has been one of the most eutrophic lakes in Norway with periodic cyanobacteria blooms, but continues to attract a large recreational user population, despite the large variations in water quality. The “DPSIR-OOBN” model is used as a case study of “integrated valuation” and evaluated for its applicability for decision support in nutrient abatement. We find that the DPSIR-OOBN model meets seven of the nine criteria we propose for “integrated valuation”. The model struggles to meet the criteria that ecological, social and economic values should be defined consistently in relation to impacts on lake quality. While the DPSIR-OOBN integrates from valuation methods across an ecosystem cascade to management alternatives, it is neither a full benefit-cost analysis, nor a multi-criteria analysis. However, we demonstrate how the DPSIR-OOBN can be used to explore issues of consistency in scaling and weighting of different ecological, social and economic values in the catchment system. Bayesian belief networks offer a consistent approach to analysing how management implementation probability may determine economic valuation. We discuss the implication of our integrated valuation not being able to account for farmer responses, in particular the incentive effects of the model not being able to predict abatement effectiveness and value. The resolution of the nutrient monitoring data and modeling technologies that were at our disposal are probably better in the Morsa catchment than for any other catchment of this size in Norway. We therefore conclude that using our integrated valuation model for assessing benefits of eutrophication abatement measures as part of the EU Water Framework Directive still lies in the realm of utopia – euphemistically speaking a “eutropia”.

  Phosphorus (P) loss from diffuse sources remains as the main cause of freshwater eutrophication in agricultural regions. The amount of land used for different agricultural practices may be a strong explanatory factor for the P loading to runoff waters. A prerequisite is that the effect of changes in land use on P levels in surface waters needs to be ascertained and quantified. In this study, a comprehensive approach has been developed to explore the environmental consequences of P levels in receiving water with corresponding land use change in a heavily agriculturally influenced watershed. A coupled simulation using Dyna-CLUE model with grey relational analysis (GRA) and grey model GM (1,1) model was employed to stimulate spatial distribution and area demand. Besides, a comprehensive land use index with degree of P saturation (DPS%) as weight coefficient was developed to examine the statistical and spatial relationships of land use and P levels in receiving waters on regional watershed. Moreover, in order to evaluate the practical impact of land use change on water quality, a planned emigration and watershed ecological reconstruction planning were designed into the scenarios. The potential of changes in land use as an abatement action to curb eutrophication was evaluated by modelling the effect of issued emigration and ecological restoration programs in the local watershed of the Yuqiao water reservoir in northeastern China. Kappa indexes above 0.85 for the validation period verify that the coupled land use change model is able to simulate the effect of the abatement actions on land use. Scenario predictions reveals that local emigration and a comprehensive ecological restoration project as abatement actions could significantly decrease contents of P in receiving surface waters: Relative to year 2012, total P and orthophosphate could be reduced by 36 and 45 %, respectively, by the end of year 2018. This modelling approach can, with moderate modifications, also be adapted to other watersheds. The model developed in this study can thus be used by environmental managers as a tool to identify risk for P loss from diffuse sources within a watershed and assist policy makers to assess the effect on P losses by implementing abatement actions that changes land use.

  Dissolved natural organic matter (DNOM) is a complex mixture of heterogeneous organic macromolecules that are formed in the environment, mainly by decay of plant and animal remains. All freshwaters contain a certain amount of DNOM, though in the boreal region the levels of DNOM are usually high. During the past decades, there has been a significant increase of DNOM in surface waters in the Nordic countries, Scotland and North-East America. DNOM’s ability to absorb light results in a characteristic yellow-brown colour of the water. DNOM has numerous functional groups giving the molecules specific properties, including serving as complexing agents for soft metals such as mercury. That way, DNOM increases the mercury mobility, thereby increasing the loading of the metals from soil to surface waters. On the other hand, the complexation of metals to especially high molecular weight (HMW) DNOM is expected to reduce the toxicity of the metals by making them less bioavailable. Long-term increase in DNOM may be associated with changes in the size fractions and thus biodegradability of the DNOM, which might affect bioavailability of mercury to the nutrient web. In this thesis, it was hypothesised that mercury (totHg) is mainly bound to high molecular weight DNOM, and that this fraction is less bioavailable than the low molecular weight (LMW) DNOM. It was further hypothesised that because HMW DNOM is larger and more aromatic, it has higher sUVa (Abs254/DOC) and sVISa (Abs400/DOC) values, as well as lower SAR (Abs254/Abs400) values than LMW DNOM, which may result in lower bioavailability of mercury in the HMW fractions. In order to study these hypotheses, samples from lake Langtjern were collected in the spring, late summer and fall at three different positions of the lake (outlet, inlet and hypolimnion (6 m depth)). The samples were fractionated using Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) with a 100 kDa cut-off. Samples were fractionated into high molecular weight DNOM (>100 kDa) and low molecular weight DNOM (<100 kDa). The results from this study showed that the main bulk of DOC was found in the high molecular fraction, and that the concentration of totHg was higher in the HMW fractions than in the LMW fraction as viewed across all seasons and collection sites. The mean value of totHg in the HMW fraction was 3.3 ngL-1, and 0.93 ngL-1 in the LMW fraction. The mercury concentration in the LMW fraction decreased from the spring to the fall, whereas no change was observed in the HMW fractions. LMW fractions were smaller and less aromatic than the HMW fractions. Biodegradation experiments showed that the HMW fractions were less easily biodegradable than the LMW fractions, which may be seen in relation to the larger size and more aromatic character. There was a significant interaction between the fraction size and the season, and between the fraction size and the sample site in the mercury density of DNOM (measured as totHg/DOC). These interactions show that the extent to which mercury was bound to the different size fractions changed over the season and over the sampling sites. Differences in the mercury density of DNOM between the fractions were not observed in the spring, whereas in the late summer and fall samples the highest mercury density was found in the HMW DNOM. In the LMW fractions, the density of mercury in the DNOM decreased strongly from the spring to late summer and fall, whereas minor changes were observed for the HMW fractions. The interaction between the sampling sites and the fraction size showed that the differences in mercury density of DNOM was observed at the hypolimnion and in the outlet, but not in the inlet. These observations suggest that changes in the DNOM occur in the lake, which may lead to uptake of mercury in the nutrient chain. This would be in accordance with the observed higher biodegradation of the LMW fraction, measured as respiration rate.

  Lakes and rivers are the main sources of drinking water in Nordic countries. For aesthetic and hygienic reasons high concentration levels of dissolved natural organic matter (DNOM) are not acceptable in drinking water. An increasing amount of DNOM in raw water sources for drinking water in Fennoscandia is thus raising our concerns. Moreover, the DNOM constitute an important transport mechanism for the flux of allochthonous nutrients to surface water. Once in the lake the DNOM photo-degrades due to adsorption of energy from sunlight. This causes its larger molecular weight (MW) compound to decompose into a variety of smaller organic photoproducts. Moreover, some of the DNOM is mineralized completely to inorganic compounds. Mineralization of DNOM causes a release of aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) ions along with the release of orthophosphate (PO43-). The metal ions rapidly hydrolyze and form oxy-hydroxides which co-sorb phosphate and precipitate. Due to the removal of mineralized PO43- by subsequent precipitation with Fe- and Al-oxy hydroxides it is difficult to detect how much orthophosphate becomes mineralized by solar radiation. This is needed in order to assess the amount of this limiting nutrient becoming available for autotrophs. Thus the essence of this study is to test the option of using algae growth response as an indication of phosphorus release. Considerable research has been conducted comparing the changes in characteristics of the matrix that DNOM is in and structural characterization of DNOM, before and after solar exposure. A continuous increase in the relative contribution of lower to higher MW DNOM compounds along with a decrease in DOC concentration has been found with the extension of exposure time. This implies that the photochemical mineralization of DNOM by the photo-oxidation transforms the higher MW DNOM compounds into lower MW compounds, and that some of the DNOM is completely mineralized. This is further corroborated with fluorescence spectroscopy, indicating a decreased ratio of Humic to Fulvic acids in the DNOM as a response to sunlight exposure. This would imply that when sunlight is absorbed by DNOM, the average molecular weight is reduced. Results from assays showing increased algal growth imply that PO43- has been mineralized from DNOM due to photochemical reaction. On the other hand the growth response is not always significant. This may partly be due to concurrent heterotopic mineralization by bacteria.

  Small amounts of amines are emitted with the flue gas from amine based carbon capture plants. The amines atmospheric degradation have been studied in detail. The environmental impact of the degradation products, e.g. the possibly carcinogenic and mutagenic nitramines, is however insufficiently studied. This thesis investigates the capacity of nitramines to sorb to soil, depending on the soils physiochemical characteristics. To accomplish this, the analytical challenges with regards to determination of nitramines in soil water had to be solved. Soil samples were collected in the vicinity of Technology Center Mongstad (TCM) (~15 km) as this is a possible future deposition site for nitramines. The sampling sites were chosen with the aim of collecting soils with different physiochemical properties, with special emphasis on the content of soil organic matter and soil texture. All of the collected soil samples (n=16) were analysed for explanatory parameters expected to influence soil sorption, such as organic matter (OM) content, dissolved natural organic matter (DNOM) leached from the soil, texture, mineralogy, pH and conductivity. A selection of the samples (n=5) were used in soil sorption experiments to assess the sorption potential of N-Nitroethanolamine (MEA-nitramine). A batch experimental set-up was used, and sorption was measured as loss of MEA-nitramine from the aqueous phase after being added at known concentrations (24 h equilibrium). For these samples, elemental composition was also determined. Possible correlations between the sorption coefficients and the soils physiochemical characteristics were assessed. Determination of MEA-nitramine in soil water with LC-MS/MS proved to be a challenge due to matrix effects. Different calibration methods with and without matrix matched calibration solutions were tested. Another nitramine, N-nitromethylamine (MMA-nitramine), was tested as internal standard. Additionally, a couple of sample pretreatment techniques were tested to try and separate the analyte from the matrix (solid phase extraction (SPE), filtration). Sorption partitioning coefficients between soil and aqueous phase were determined (Kd) and the results imply that a significant amount of MEA-nitramine will remain in the aqueous phase. Correlation between the partition coefficients for the five studied soils and the soils OM content was observed (r > 0.788). Loss of internal standard (MMA-nitramine) was also observed, this loss correlated strongly with the DNOM concentration in the sample supernatant (r = 0.9924), implying that sorption to DNOM could be important. The relation between sorption and OM content implies that sorption will generally be higher in the top soil (organic) horizons than in the lower (mineral) soil horizons. As deposition of atmospherically formed nitramines will be to the soil surface, this can serve to hinder mobility. The analytical determination method for nitramines in soil water was improved, although not considered satisfactory at the end of the study. Major improvement resulted from the used of matrix matched calibration curves, which compensate for both ion suppression/enhancement effects and possible sorption to DNOM. Even though this is time- and labour consuming, the method was proven more successful than attempts made to separate the analyte from the matrix prior to analysis. The used of MMA-nitramine as an internal standard for determination of MEA-nitramine was not successful, possibly due to the difference in retention time and therefore possible different effect from the matrix components. An isotope-labelled internal standard should therefore be acquired. Investigation into other sample pretreatments could also be of interest. Note that previously reported sorption partition coefficients for sorption of nitramines to soil could be inaccurate if matrix matched calibration curves were not employed.
