A PhD course is organised by SLU on September 19-25, 2019. ‘Watershed Ecology and Biogeochemistry’ addresses the foundational concepts and modern challenges within the broad field of watershed science. Here we will take an integrative approach that focuses on the hydrological, biogeochemical and ecological connections between upland, riparian, and aquatic components of forest landscapes. Specific topics includes: 1) an overview

Biowater was presented at the annual BioFuture2025 seiminar in Lahti 16 – 17 April 2019. The BioFuture2025 programme is funded by the Finnish Academy, and aims to support the creation of a new knowledge base and to promote major scientific breakthroughs through new ways of doing science. The programme will seek out the best ideas, identify new opportunities and support research exploring

BIOWATER’s PhD Student Mette V. Carstensen is first author of a paper on “Reducing adverse side effects by seasonally lowering nitrate removal in subsurface flow constructed wetlands”. Losses of nitrogen (N) from agricultural lands can be effectively reduced by constructed wetlands (CW). A specific type of CW is a wetland that receives subsurface-flow from drainage, and with a filter of
