This research project, in collaboration with Luleå University of Technology, utilizes advanced eDNA analysis to assess how urban stressors, such as stormwater discharges, impact biodiversity in receiving water bodies. By analyzing eDNA traces from macroinvertebrates, diatoms, mussels, amphibians, and fish, we investigate how urbanization and stormwater runoff affect species richness and ecosystem composition. The project contributes to a deeper understanding of environmental impacts and can provide valuable insights for future water management strategies. Read more here.
