1. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. READ MORE

2. Combining GHG Emissions and Soil Carbon Changes as a Single Metric to Evaluate Agricultural Policy Promoting Biomass for Biofuels
University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)Abstract : Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. READ MORE

3. Modelling the impacts of organic matter quality on soil carbon turnover and storage : continued testing of a novel dual-pore model against data collected from a long-term study site in Offer, Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : As we look for solutions to the worsening climate crisis, carbon sequestration has become a popular strategy to mitigate CO2 emissions. Carbon models are used to predict or emulate changes in future soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, but most fail to account for the influence of pore size on soil structure and SOC storage. READ MORE

4. Above- and belowground carbon stocks and effects of enrichment planting in a tropical secondary lowland dipterocarp rainforest
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : The intact tropical rainforests are rapidly being degraded and subsequently converted to other land uses, with associated greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. It is imperative that the effects of such conversions and large-scale restoration efforts on forest structure and ecosystem services are understood to effectively be able to counteract the negative consequences of deforestation and forest degradation.

5. Carbon sequestration in topsoil for forage-based cropping systems : an analysis of Swedish long-term experiments and SOC modelling
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : C sequestration in soils is a potential way to mitigate climate change and increase the fertility of arable soils. Ley has long been known to deliver more C to its root systems compared to annual crops. Therefore, it has been suggested as a potential C sequestration strategy. READ MORE
