1. 1. Microbial ecosystem analysis of biochar-enriched soil in Kenya using microfluidic soil models

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Erik Karlsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Soil microbial ecosystem analysis; Microbe abundance; Microbe foraging; Biochar; Agriculture; Microfluidics; In-situ visualization; Kenya; SoilChip; Soil model; Minor Field Study; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Healthy soil is rich in diverse microbial life, and a healthy microbial ecosystem is crucial for any well-functioning agriculture. Soil microbes are essential for organic decomposition and nutrient recycling in the soil, which make nutrients available for agricultural crops. READ MORE

3. 2. Influence of permafrost disintegration on wetland carbon fluxes in Abisko, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Aida Esmailzadeh Davani; [2021]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Permafrost; CH4 flux; CO2 flux; Abisko; Wetlands; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. READ MORE

4. 3. Production and biodegradability of dissolved organic carbon from dIfferent litter sources

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Carlos Arellano; [2015]
   Keywords : biogeochemical cycles; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; dissolved organic carbon; carbon cycle; soil biogeochemistry; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The movement of carbon on Earth is based on exchange between pools that represent carbon in different physical forms, differing in chemical composition, structure and function. Dissolved organic carbon plays an important role in ecosystems because of its mobility, which can be relatively high in saturated soils, and because it is the most available fraction of organic matter for microorganisms in soil, being particularly active in microbial degradation processes through soil profile.
