Colour has increased significantly in several Norwegian rivers and lakes over the past two - three decades (Haaland et al. 2007; de Wit et al. 2007). This has also been observed throughout Northern hemisphere (Forsberg and Petersen 1990; Freeman et al. 2001; Roulet and Moore 2006; Tranvik and Jansson 2002). The long term increase in colour has coincided with the decline in anthropogenic acid emissions which peaked in Europe around mid 1970s (Schöpp et al. 2003). During the earlier days of the acid rain history, Krug and Frink (1983) hypothesised that acid rain possibly could explain the previously reduced colour in lakes observed on the Northern hemisphere. The increase in colour and concentrations of organic carbon in lakes throughout the past decades have by several authors again been linked to the reduction of atmospheric acid emission, in the UK (Evans et al. 2006), in Norway (de Wit et al. 2007) and in northern Europe and northern America (Monteith et al. 2007).

Side effects related to liming have been studied in four dimictic lakes (553-642 m a.s.l.; 59°57"N) in Finnemarka, a forested area in Southern Norway with poor catchment buffer capacity. Data series from lake profiles have been sampled two decades apart; 10 years prior to liming and after 10 years of liming. Water samples were collected during spring after ice breakup, and during summer after the development of thermal stratification. Before liming, there were very low concentrations of bicarbonate (HCO3-) (or alkalinity) in the lakes.After 10 years of liming, up to 90 % of the ions in hypolimnion originate from lime products. Hence; liming strengthened the chemical stratification and increased the vertical stability. Differences in chemocline developments between lakes were explained by differences in physical properties, i.e. their depth/surface area ratio. The chemocline developments lead to increased concentrations of organic matter in the hypolimnion, with a subsequent reduction in oxygen concentrations. Lime additions during late spring, as an alternative to early autumn, lead to pronounced anoxic conditions in the hypolimnion.

Prosjektet "Kostnadseffektivitet av tiltak i landbruket - oppfølging av vanndirektivet" er et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Nilf og Bioforsk Jord og miljø, hvor Nilf er prosjektleder. Bakgrunn for prosjektet er at det er behov for et bedre beregningsgrunnlag for kostnadseffektivitet for ulike tiltak innen jordbruket og at de eksisterende kildene over (rense-) kostnader for jordbruket er få og varierende. Prosjektet er finansiert av SLF og fylkesmennene i Oslo og Akershus.

Throughout the past few decades there has been a significant increase in TOC concentrations in several Norwegian lakes. Monitored lakes with limited or no buffer capacity (Chloride- and Sulphate-lakes), and especially the Sulphate-lakes (which have had a more pronounced decline in ionic strength related to the reduced anthropogenic acid components in precipitation), have had a significantly percentage increase in TOC concentrations throughout the past 15 yrs. Lakes with some buffer capacity (ANC-lakes) have not had a significant percentage increase in TOC concentrations throughout the same period.

Transport and turnover of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is important in the C cycle of organic soils. The concentration of DOC in soil water is buffered by adsorption to the soil matrix, and has been hypothesized to depend on the pool size of adsorbed DOC. We have studied the effect of frequent artificial excessive leaching events on concentration and flux of DOC in shallow, organic rich mountain soils. Assuming a constant Kd value for DOC adsorption to the soil matrix, we used these data to assess the change in the pool of adsorbed (or potential) DOC in the soil. The study involved manipulation of precipitation amount and frequency in summer and autumn in small, heathland catchments at Storgama, southern Norway. The shallow soils (16 to 34 cm deep on average) limit the possibility for changes in water flow paths during events. The mini-catchments range in size from 75 m2 to 98 m2. Our data show that after leaching of about 1.2 g DOC m-2 the DOC concentration in runoff declines by approximately 50%. From this we conclude that the pool size of adsorbed potential DOC in the shallow soils at any time is of the order 2-3 g m-2. Frequent episodes suggest that the replenishment rate, which depends on the decomposition rate of soil organic matter, is fast and the potential DOC pool could be fully restored probably within days during summer, but with some more time required in autumn, due to lower temperatures. Both pool size of potential DOC and replenishment rate are seasonally dependent. The pool of potential DOC, and thus the DOC concentration in discharge, is at their maximum in the growing season. However, under non-leaching conditions, the concentration of DOC in soil water and thus the pool size of potential DOC seems to level off, possibly due to conversion of DOC to less reversibly bound forms, or to further decomposition to CO2.

The major objective of this study was to compile and examine empirical relationships between the driving forces and pressures that affect nitrogen cycling. Special attention was paid to riverine loads, fluxes, and concentrations of nitrogen in relation to agricultural factors (e.g., land use and fertilisers) at various spatial scales (plot, field, catchment, river basin, nation, region, continent, and world). Results of the present analyses and assessments reported in the literature indicate that at global, continental and inter-river basin scales, the level of riverine nitrogen loads (pressures) can be readily derived from simple empirical relationships with driving forces like population density and agricultural factors (e.g., proportion of arable land and fertiliser use). It seems that statistically derived relationships do not hold or are much weaker at the scales of single river basins and smaller catchments, whereas nitrogen losses appear to be correlated with fertiliser use at the smallest scales (plot and field). It is important to recognize this spatial nutrient paradox, particularly when such functional relationships are applied in the contexts of management and decision making. The implications for management are given further consideration in this paper.
