  1. 1. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  3. 2. Increased carbon sequestration of actively restored tropical forests in Sabah, Malaysia : a comparison of natural regeneration and active restoration

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Johan Engström; [2023]
    Keywords : Degraded tropical forest; Active restoration; Carbon sequestration; Natural regeneration; Enrichment planting; Biomass accumulation;

    Abstract : As restoration with assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting becomes a more important and popular method to restore ecosystem services and mitigate negative climate effects, these treatments and their effectiveness is heavily debated. There are three main groups of opinions regarding restoration, one is that humans actively need to help nature recover and the second is that nature itself does a better job without our help and the third is somewhere in between.

  4. 3. Avskogningsförordningens påverkan på svenska energiföretag

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Nelly Paz Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Avskogningsförordningen; bioenergi; miljöreglering; energiföretag; skogliga biobränslen; bioolja; Deforestation Regulation; bioenergy; environmental regulation; energy companies; woody biofuels; bio-oil;

    Abstract : För att bekämpa global avskogning och skogsförstörelse orsakat av produktion och konsumtion i EU så har den Europeiska kommissionen välkomnat en ny lagstiftning. Den så kallade Avskogningsförordningen införs med syftet att bekämpa klimatförändringarna och reducera påverkan på den biologiska mångfalden, detta genom att förbjuda produkter inom EU som kommer från ställen där avskogning skett.

  5. 4. Drivers and Barriers for Biochar Deployment in Swedish Agriculture : a Multi-Level Perspective on Sustainability Transitions

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Danielle Jansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Agriculture; Socio-technical transitions; Multi-level perspective;

    Abstract : There are several sustainability challenges (e.g., environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and food insecurity) that agro-food systems face. Simultaneously, agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Solid-state fermentation of the microalgae Scenedesmus sp. for improved conservation and protein digestibility
