On the basis of fifteen global model simulations of future climate, using the SRES emissions scenarios for greenhouse gases and aerosols, we have constructed national-scale seasonal and annual climate change scenarios for Finland during the 21st century. In approximate terms, the annual mean temperature is projected to rise by 1–3 °C and the annual mean precipitation by 0%–15% by the 2020s, relative to the baseline period 1961–1990. The corresponding increases by the 2050s are 2–5 °C (tempera…

Abstract Urban planners and other stakeholders often view trees as the ultimate panacea for mitigating urban heat stress; however, their cooling efficacy varies globally and is influenced by three primary factors: tree traits, urban morphology, and climate conditions. This study analyzes 182 studies on the cooling effects of urban trees across 17 climates in 110 global cities or regions. Tree implementation reduces peak monthly temperatures to below 26 °C in 83% of the cities. Trees can lower…
The impact of lakes on the European climate as simulated by a regional climate model

Matched topics: land surface model
The impact of lakes on the European climate is considered by analysing two 30-year regional climate model (RCM) simulations. The RCM applied is the Rossby Centre regional climate model RCA3.5. A simulation where all lakes in the model domain are replaced by land surface is compared with a simulation where the effect of lakes is accounted for through the use of the lake model FLake coupled to RCA. The difference in 2m open-land air temperature between the two simulations shows that lakes induc…

Matched topics: reservoir
CO2-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) is widely used in reservoir development, but its implementation is often limited by scarce pure CO2 sources and high carbon capture costs. Flue gas from steam injection boilers typically contains 10-15% CO2 and 80-85% N2, both of which serve as effective gas displacement agents. Injecting flue gas or CO2/N2 mixtures into reservoirs can reduce carbon emissions, sequester CO2, and enhance recovery. Therefore, this study proposes a concept of enriching rather …

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, hydropower
Climatic change impact studies are among the most complicated and uncertain environmental assessments scientists have ever faced. Not only are possible scenarios on key changes and impacts needed, but also estimates of their probabilities, which are of particular relevance to policy making. In modeling, the key uncertainties lie in inaccuracies and errors in parameters, and above all (but often not fully discussed) in assumed causalities (model structure). In the present study, the views of e…

Simple approaches to predicting ecosystem fluxes are useful in large-scale applications because existing data rarely support justified use of complex models. We developed a model of daily ecosystem gross primary production (P), evapotranspiration (E), and soil water content (theta), which only requires standard weather data and information about the fraction of absorbed radiation. We estimated the parameters of the model for two boreal Scots pine eddy-covariance sites (Hyytiala and Sodankyla)…

Crustal thickness and elevation variations control mountain building and climate change at convergent margins. As an archetypal Andean-type convergent margin, eastern Asia preserves voluminous magmas ideal for quantifying these processes and their impacts on climate. Here, we use Sr/Y and Ce/Y proxies to show that the crust experienced alternating thickening and thinning during the Late Mesozoic. We identify a noticeably thickened (50 to 55 kilometers) crust associated with tectonic shortenin…
Natural and land-use induced load of acidity, metals, humus and suspended matter in Lestijoki, a river in western Finland

Matched topics: river
Lestijoki, a river in western Finland, runs through areas with abundant peatlands and acid sulphate (AS) soils, which cause water quality problems. A natural population of sea trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta (L.)) and other valuable species still exist in the river, but the declining water quality is a serious threat to their survival. The AS soils and the peatlands cause a natural high load of acidity, metals, humus and suspended matter. This load is enhanced by human activities such as agricu…

Increasing water temperature in spring in Estonian inland waters has affected differently the spawning of roach and bream. Within forty years (1951–1990), the spawning of bream shifted, on average, to a ten days earlier period but the range of spawning temperature remained unchanged, while there was no shift in the spawning time for roach, which started to spawn at about three degrees higher water temperature than earlier. The difference between spawning times of roach and bream decreased fro…
Patterns of coherent dynamics within and between lake districts at local to intercontinental scales

Matched topics: surface water
Spatial patterns of coherent inter-annual dynamics between lakes occur within and between lake districts at regional, continental, and even intercontinental scales. Climatic variability and change are external drivers of lake dynamics but individual lake ecosystems differentially filter these signals and alter their expression. When related to landscape position spatial patterns in coherence can be uniform, unstructured, or structured. A structured pattern emerges for chemical responses to dr…

As potential outcomes of climate change, we examined the effects of environmental warming and drying on instantaneous CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes in three sedge fens situated in the northern and middle boreal zones. Warming was induced by means of open top chambers (OTCs) and drying through drainage via ditching. OTCs raised the air temperature by 0.2–2 °C, whereas short-term drainage dropped the water-table level (WTL) by 5–10 cm and long-term drainage by 10–30 cm. The impact of simulated warmin…

Matched topics: runoff
Extreme events can often be ecologically more relevant than fluctuations in the mean climate. We studied the effects of an exceptionally rainy period in 2000 on 13 physical and chemical variables and on the phytoplankton biomass and composition in Lake Mälaren, the third largest lake in Sweden. The rainy period caused a distinct increase in the chemical loading, in particular the loading of organic carbon, into Lake Mälaren. As a consequence water color, measured as light absorption of filter…

Matched topics: runoff
In 1990–1994, the effect of peatland forest ditch maintenance on the concentration of suspended solids in runoff water was studied in Finland in 37 catchments by using a short pre-treatment period and comparing with 31 control areas. On the average, the concentrations of suspended solids were 4–5 mg l–1 in the control areas and in the treatment areas before ditch network maintenance. During a period of 1–3 years after maintenance, the concentration of suspended solids in the water leaving dit…
Changes in nitrogen cycling following the clearcutting of drained peatland forests in southern Finland
Authors: Mika Nieminen
Journal: Jukuri (Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke)) · DOI: 10.60910/c9vu-88h3 · Citations: 45
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff
The effects of forest clearcutting on the leaching of organic N, NH4+-N and NO3–-N and the processes likely to influence them were studied in two Norway spruce (Picea abies) dominated catchments located on nutrient-rich old peatland drainage areas in southern Finland. The concentrations of NH4+-N in precipitation reaching the ground increased after clearcutting. Those of NO3–-N increased in the area where the atmospheric N deposition was average, but decreased in the area subjected to higher …

Matched topics: surface water
The global ocean covers 71% of Earth’s surface, yet the seafloor is poorly charted compared with land, the Moon, Mars, and Venus. Traditional ocean mapping uses ship-based soundings and nadir satellite radar altimetry-one limited in spatial coverage and the other in spatial resolution. The joint NASA-CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission uses phase-coherent, wide-swath radar altimetry to measure ocean surface heights at high precision. We …
More flow upstream and less flow downstream: The changing form and function of global rivers
Authors: Dongmei Feng, Colin J. Gleason
Journal: Science · DOI: 10.1126/science.adl5728 · Citations: 44
Matched topics: river, streamflow
We mapped daily streamflow from 1984 to 2018 in approximately 2.9 million rivers to assess recent changes to global river systems. We found that river outlets were dominated by significant decreases in flow, whereas headwaters were 1.7 times more likely to have significantly increased flow than decreased. These changes result in a significant upstream shift in streamflow experienced by about 29% of the global land surface. We found the most changes in the smallest steams in our study: increas…

Abstract. Comprehensive large-sample hydrological datasets, particularly the CAMELS datasets (Catchment Attributes and MEteorology for Large-sample Studies), have advanced hydrological research and education in recent years. These datasets integrate extensive hydro-meteorological observations with landscape features, such as geology and land use, across numerous catchments within a national framework. They provide harmonised large-sample data for various purposes, such as assessing the impact…
Low survival of hatchery-released Atlantic salmon smolts during initial river and fjord migration
Authors: Eva B. Thorstad, Uglem, Ingebrigt, Pablo Arechavala-López, Finn Økland, Bengt Finstad
Journal: Työväentutkimus Vuosikirja · DOI: 10.60910/pa6t-a123 · Citations: 43
Matched topics: river, hydropower
Even though release strategies have been improved, recapture rates of hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon as adults have been low in the River Eira, Norway. To evaluate whether loss of fish occurs in the river immediately after release, in the early marine phase in the fjord, or during the subsequent feeding migration at sea, 20 smolts were equipped with acoustic transmitters. The survival and movement pattern of the smolts were monitored along the 9-km-long river and during the first 37 km of th…
Stormwater discharges affect PFAS occurrence, concentrations, and spatial distribution in water and bottom sediment of urban streams
Authors: Suna Ekin Kali, Heléne Österlund, Maria Viklander, Godecke‐Tobias Blecken
Journal: Water Research · DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.122973 · Citations: 38
Matched topics: runoff
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are extensively used in urban environments and are, thus, found in urban stormwater. However, the relevance of stormwater as a pathway for PFAS to urban streams is largely unknown. This study evaluated the impact of urban stormwater runoff on PFAS concentrations and spatial distribution in three urban streams affected by stormwater discharges from separate sewer systems. River water was sampled during dry (DW) and wet weather (WW) upstream, immediate…
Simulated water and heat cycles of the Baltic Sea using a 3D coupled atmosphere–ice–ocean model

Journal: Boreal Environment Research Journal Archive · DOI: 10.60910/0geq-p997 · Citations: 37
Matched topics: runoff
The heat and water cycles of the Baltic Sea are calculated utilizing multi-year model simulations. This is one of the major objectives of the BALTEX program. For the period 1988–1993, results of a 3D ice-ocean model forced with observed atmospheric surface fields are compared with results of a fully coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean model using re-analysis data at the lateral boundaries. The state-of-the-art coupled model system has been developed for climate study purposes in the Nordic countries…
The use of the flashiness index as a possible indicator for nutrient loss prediction in agricultural catchments
Authors: Johannes Deelstra, Arvo Iital
Journal: Työväentutkimus Vuosikirja · DOI: 10.60910/a9ku-x4a5 · Citations: 28
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow
A characterisation of the hydrological behaviour of four small agricultural catchments in Estonia and Norway was carried out using a flashiness index (FI). FI reflects the frequency and rapidity of short term changes in runoff values. A comparison of FIs based on hourly and average daily discharge indicated large within-day variations over very short time intervals. Large differences were observed between the Norwegian and Estonian catchments, irrespective of whether average daily discharge o…
