  1. 1. Greenhouse gas emissions from peat soil thawing in spring : a comparison between fertilized and unfertilized soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Fanny Otterlin Karlsson; [2024]
    Keywords : agricultural soil; carbon dioxide; freeze-thaw cycles; nitrous oxide; soil temperature; water content;

    Abstract : Peat soils drained for agriculture and forestry contribute to a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with high warming potential and agriculture in general accounts for about 70 % of nitrous oxide emissions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sustainable use of calcium nitrate fertilizer under variable precipitation, soil properties and crop management

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Liliana Marcela Daza Gomez; [2023]
    Keywords : nitrogen.; calcium nitrate; ammonium-based fertilizers; urea; nitrate leaching; nitrous oxide emissions; crop yield;

    Abstract : Application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen leaching. Accordingly, there is a need to increase knowledge about sustainable farming practices to reduce nitrogen losses to the environment without curtailing crop harvest. READ MORE

  4. 3. Långsiktig torvnedbrytning för olika vegetationstyper på dikad skogsmark

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Carl Carlsson; Sofie Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : växthusgaser; torvmark; dikning;

    Abstract : Skogsklädda torvmarker i Sverige dikades i stor utsträckning mellan 1930- och 1980-talen i syfte att höja virkesproduktionen. Till följd av klimatproblemet har intresset för dikade torvmarkers bidrag till växthusgasutsläppen ökat under de senaste decennierna. READ MORE
