1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

2. Soil Organic Carbon in Boreal Agricultural Soil : Tillage interruption and its effect on Soil Organic Carbon
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Farmers have been disrupting the carbon cycle ever since humans started converting forests to agricultural lands. But are there farming practices that can be applied to increase the carbon storage in the soil and subsequently counteract increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere? In this study I investigate if soil organic matter (SOM) and soil organic carbon (SOC) change with longer interruption between tillage events. READ MORE

3. En hållbart intensifierad slåttervall med vitklöver : en litteratursammanställning
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologyAbstract : Fördelarna med att inkludera vall i växtföljden är många, till exempel kolinlagring, markförbättrande egenskaper och ogräsbekämpning. Intresset för odling av vall ökar när det finns fler avsättningsmöjligheter och ses som ett medel för att uppnå en hållbar intensifiering av odlingssystemet. READ MORE

4. Changes in lake-water organic carbon over recent centuries in northern Sweden, Västerbotten : Past and present mechanisms, and the potential implications on mercury
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Due to the current increase in lake water total organic carbon (LW-TOC), many studies have investigated the long-term dynamics using lake sediments. However, these have mainly been focused on Sweden’s south and south-central parts. READ MORE

5. Assessing the EnvironmentalPerformance of an In-Store VerticalFarming System : Identifying environmental hotspots for an in-store hydroponic vertical farmingsystem, using Life Cycle Assessment
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : The world is facing many challenges to be able to ensure food security, such as anincreased food demand coming from an expanding world population andurbanisation, worsened agricultural opportunities from increased land deteriorationand significant environmental impacts coming from the food sector. Thus, there is aneed for new agricultural solutions to meet our needs whilst decreasing impactssimultaneously. READ MORE
