1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

2. 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

3. Greenhouse gas emissions from peat soil thawing in spring : a comparison between fertilized and unfertilized soil
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : 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

4. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikAbstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE

5. Evaluation of the ERA5-Land dataset for estimation of soil moisture in the permafrost region
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : The permafrost region covers a vast area of land surface on the northern hemisphere,storing large amounts of carbon. Unfortunately, climate warming leads to permafrostthaw altering the hydrothermal state of permafrost soils. Due to the remoteness of thepermafrost region, access to field measurements is restricted.
