11. Effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal cropping
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : 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. READ MORE

12. Impacts of peatland drainage on soil properties : a study of drainage effects on boreal peatlands in northern Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Peatlands cover approximately 3% of the terrestrial surface on Earth and perform several important ecosystem functions, such as carbon storage and water retention. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, approximately 2 million hectares of peatlands in Sweden were drained to manage the land for forestry and agriculture. READ MORE

13. Complete removal of biomass from oilseed radish as a cover crop decreased nitrous oxide emissions
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : One of the many benefits of utilizing cover crops in crop rotations is their carbon sequestrating effect. However, frost-sensitive cover crops could emit high levels of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. READ MORE

14. Potential of waste-derived VFAs-bearing effluents as an external carbon source for MBBR denitrification of domestic wastewater
University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiAbstract : In conventional wastewater treatment plants, methanol, ethanol, and acetate are used as carbon source for the denitrification process in the biological nutrient removal. However, growing concern regarding economical costs and carbon footprints from the fossil-based production of these chemicals have forced the companies to look for other alternatives. READ MORE

15. Measuring the [C II]-to-H I connection in high-redshift absorption-selected galaxies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : HI neutral gas is the basic building block of galaxies. It dictates the star formation rate and hence the metal enrichment rates within high redshift galaxies. HI neutral gas cannot be directly observed beyond z ≈ 0. READ MORE
