  1. 1. Långsiktig torvnedbrytning för olika vegetationstyper på dikad skogsmark

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Carl Carlsson; Sofie Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : växthusgaser; torvmark; dikning;

    Abstract : Skogsklädda torvmarker i Sverige dikades i stor utsträckning mellan 1930- och 1980-talen i syfte att höja virkesproduktionen. Till följd av klimatproblemet har intresset för dikade torvmarkers bidrag till växthusgasutsläppen ökat under de senaste decennierna. READ MORE

  3. 2. Nitrogen legacies in agricultural catchments : an analysis of 170 years of nitrogen legacies data in four Swedish agricultural catchments

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Laura-Ainhoa Prischl; [2023]
    Keywords : nitrogen mass balance; nitrogen surplus; land use trajectories; hysteresis effect; water quality; agriculture; nitrogen surplus; land use trajectories; hysteresis effect; water quality; agriculture;

    Abstract : Despite the enforcement of legislation and application of measures, nitrogen (N) levels continue to be high in streams. One of the reasons for the low N reduction, is the legacy accumulation of N. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modified cellulose synthesized by different deep eutectic solvents as an additive in paper making process

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Shiniar Said Saleh; [2023]
    Keywords : green chemistry; dry strength additives; deep eutectic solvents; sodium periodate oxidation; charge density; dewatering; mechanical strength.;

    Abstract : The environmental concerns that come with the currently used traditional papermaking process where petroleum-based additives are used, has tempted researchers to study “green” additives by introducing environmentally friendly modifications of cellulose as an additive in the papermaking process. This thesis will spin further on that by producing additives with different charge densities and focus on to incorporate an etherification reaction into potentially greens systems based on non-toxic and readily biodegradable deep eutectic solvent (DES).

  5. 4. Biogeochemistry and Peat Properties of Restored Peatlands

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Pelle Belaieff Kronborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Drainage; Bulk density; Nitrogen; Carbon; Stable isotopes;

    Abstract : Globally, peatlands comprise the most important soil organic carbon pool storing approximately one third of all terrestrial soil carbon. Drainage can turn peatlands to net sources of carbon dioxide. Peatlands have historically been drained to increase the productivity of agriculture and forestry. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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 Management

    Author : Frederika Klaus; [2022]
    Keywords : Boreal peatlands; Bulk density; Carbon; Greenhouse gas; Isotopes; Nitrogen; Organic matter; Peatlands; Peatland drainage; Peatland restoration;

    Abstract : 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
