  3. 2. Platsens betydelse för växtnäringsläckage från jordbruksmark i Sverige

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Frida Lundell; [2023]
    Keywords : kväve- och fosforutlakning; rumslig variation; långtidsövervakning;

    Abstract : Växtnäringsläckage av kväve (N) och fosfor (P) från jordbruksmark tillför näringsämnen till hav och vattendrag. Det är viktigt att minska transporten av N och P av flera anledningar, då det bland annat är en stor bidragande faktor till övergödning. READ MORE
