  1. 1. Greenhouse gas emissions and carbon burial in a small pond

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Carlson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pond; greenhouse gas; carbon dioxide; methane; nitrous oxide; flux; ebullition; carbon burial; Damm; växthusgas; koldioxid; metan; lustgas; flöde; ebullition; kolbindning;

    Abstract : There are a lot of uncertainties when it comes to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which affects society’s ability to effectively respond to climate change. Small ponds have been found to potentially play a large role in global warming. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ammonium and nitrate sorption by biochar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Yasser Alrhban; [2023]
    Keywords : biochar nitrogen; retention; dialysis; absorption; adsorption; ammonium; nitrate;

    Abstract : Biochar has recently drawn attention due to its ability to increase soil fertility, sequester carbon and its expected effect on reducing the leaching of elements from the soil, especially nitrogen. The possibility of using biochar as a soil amendment to reduce the amount of nitrogen leaching, and then reducing the quantities of nitrogen fertilizers used in agriculture to avoid the bad environmental effects has become a matter of great interest.

  4. 3. REINDEER GRAZING IN A NORTHERN BOREAL FOREST : Seasonal and reindeer-induced changes in nutrient availability and soil temperature

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Agnes Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : nutrient availability; soil temperature; reindeer grazing; seasonal nutrient cycling; boreal forest;

    Abstract : Soil nutrient availability is a key component to understanding the boreal ecosystems, as it directly relates to plant productivity and ecosystem diversity. There is however little known about how the nutrient availability changes seasonally in the boreal forest. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biochar from separated digestate and pig manure as soil amendment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Lovisa Nissen; [2022]
    Keywords : separation; screw press; incubation study; CO2 emission; N mineralization;

    Abstract : The situation in and around the Baltic Sea, with large areas with hypoxia in the sea and areas in the watershed with a high concentration of animal farms, has led to a need to increase the nutrient recycling of animal manure. High levels of phosphorus (P) in the soil lead to leaching, and by reducing the P-level in organic fertilizers, this leaching can be reduced. READ MORE

  6. 5. Some Like It Hot: Pre-heating Prior to Bioreactor Treatment Enhances Nitrogen Removal From Mine Drainage

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Laura Nina Bettoni; [2022]
    Keywords : denitrification; nitrate removal; temperature; woodchip bioreactor; waste rock leachate;

    Abstract : Ammonium-nitrate based explosives (NH4NO3) used within the operations of Kiruna iron ore mine release nitrate (NO3-) into the environment, potentially having adverse effects on local river-systems. One way of reducing NO3- impacts to the environment is through a woodchip denitrifying bioreactor (DBR). READ MORE
