1. If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique to reconstruct the contamination history of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, with a focus on Cu.

4. Long-term application of digestate and biofuel ash to arable soil : effects on the solubility of Cd, Al and trace metals as evidenced by simulated scenarios
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : The importance of nutrient recycling could not be emphasized enough in to-day’s society. Reduction of waste as well as recycling of nutrients would be the result if ash and biogas digestate could be used as fertilizer. However, the solubility of Cd, Al and micronutrients might be affected in a different way than by standard fertilizers. READ MORE

5. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in spring wheat : impact of waste-based fertilizers
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Phosphate rock is a diminishing source of phosphorus (P) for crop production. Other sources are being investigated to replace it, for example bio-ash from wood combustion and biogas digestate from house hold wastes. Ash and digestate application have resulted in increased yields, but the effect on the soil biota has been somewhat varied. READ MORE
