  1. 21. Spatial patterns of Dissolved Organic Matter in Swedish Surface Waters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Anna Lackner; [2022]
    Keywords : Dissolved Organic Matter; Brownification; Digital Mapping; Soil Moisture; Stream Length;

    Abstract : Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface water has been widely studied, in part due to its significance for aquatic ecology and drinking water quality. Across Sweden, increases in the total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations and color of surface waters, known as brownification, were noted in the decades before and after year 2000, though recent analysis has found widespread DOM increase to have ceased after 2010.

  3. 22. Soil carbon relations in Swedish agriculture : A GIS analysis and literature review of soil characteristics at farm level

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

    Author : Christiane Schulze; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon sequestration; Crop yield; Management practices; Soil organic carbon; Soil organic matter; Sweden; northern Europe;

    Abstract : Carbon storage in agricultural soils is an important measure to mitigate climate change. As the soil management techniques can greatly influence the amount of carbon stored in agricultural soils, the influence of different managements was analyzed in a literature review for northern Europe and Sweden.

  4. 23. Effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal cropping

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Khadija Aziz; [2022]
    Keywords : cover crops; nitrous oxide; C sequestration; greenhouse gases; off-season emissions; freeze-thaw cycles;

    Abstract : More than 60% of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are attributed to agricultural activities. N2O production in soils highly depends on the N availability along with other factors such as soil moisture content, which provide suitable conditions for nitrification and denitrification.

  5. 24. Biokol som tillsats i vallensilage utfodrat till mjölkraskvigor : inverkan på konsumtionsförmåga, smältbarhet, träckens konsistens och färg, samt djurens renhet

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Ida Milton; [2022]
    Keywords : Biokol; Smältbarhet; Vallensilage; Aktivt kol; Mjölkraskvigor; Konsumtionsförmåga; Träckkonsistens; Färg; Renhet;

    Abstract : Biokol är en produkt som tillverkas av organiskt material eller biomassa i en process som kallas pyrolys, då materialet upphettas i en temperatur från 350 till 1000 ̊C i en syrefri miljö. Biokol är lagringsstabil under lång tid innan den bryts ned och fungerar därför som kolsänka. READ MORE

  6. 25. Controls of the partitioning of nitrate between DNRA and denitrifiers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Frida Lindvall; [2022]
    Keywords : DNRA; denitrification; microcosm; experiment; arable soil;

    Abstract : In arable soils, the importance of denitrification, a respiratory process where nitrate (NO3-) is stepwisely reduced to nitrogen gas and nitrous oxide (N2O) is well established. More recently has dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) gained interest as its importance in agricultural soils might have been largely overlooked. READ MORE
