  1. 6. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Andréasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem science; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2; Albedo; Agriculture; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. READ MORE

  3. 7. Effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal cropping

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Khadija Aziz; [2022]
    Keywords : cover crops; nitrous oxide; C sequestration; greenhouse gases; off-season emissions; freeze-thaw cycles;

    Abstract : 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.

  4. 8. Regenerative agriculture : a contested open moment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Rickard Hedling; [2022]
    Keywords : regenerative agriculture; alternative food networks; food sovereignty; political ecology; discourse food systems;

    Abstract : Agriculture is both heavily impacted by climate change and responsible for greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change. Transitioning towards more sustainable agricultural practices is therefore imperative and requires new ways of thinking about agricultural knowledge and technologies. READ MORE

  5. 9. Stödgrödors betydelse för pollinatörer : en litteraturstudie om möjligheter och utmaningar vid nyttjandet av understödjande grödor i agroekosystem

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Ulrika Högberg; [2022]
    Keywords : pollinering; pollinatörer; ekosystemtjänster; understödjande grödor; stödgrödor;

    Abstract : Pollinatörer utför en viktig ekosystemtjänst då de bidrar till att säkerställa skörden av flertalet livsmedelsgrödor. Andelen pollinerande insekter i jordbruket har dock minskat till följd av ett flertal störningsfaktorer och brist på blomresurser. READ MORE

  6. 10. Emissions of nitrous oxide associated with frost killed cover crops

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Felicia Olofsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Nitrous oxide; cover crops; greenhouse gases; freeze-thaw cycles;

    Abstract : Agriculture is responsible for approximately 80% of anthropogenic emissions of the potent and long-lived greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). N2O emissions from agricultural soils are characterized by high temporal and spatial variability and often peak in short bursts related to events such as precipitation, fertilization and soil thawing.
