  1. 1. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tómas Halldórsson Alexander; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Soil moisture; Downscaling; Vegetation index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.

  3. 2. Kretslopp från avlopp : enterokocker som indikatororganismer och bärare av Vankomycinresistens

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Maja Berglind; [2023]
    Keywords : Enterococcus; enterokocker; urea; E. faecalis; E. faecium; hygienisering; ureahygienisering; ammoniak; svartvatten; klosettvatten; klosettavloppsvatten; avloppsvatten; antibiotikaresistens; Vankomycin; Vancomycin; CHROMagar; Slanetz-Bartley agar; indikatororganism;

    Abstract : Tillförsel av växtnäring på åkermark är nödvändig för matproduktionen. En återförsel av mänskliga fekalier och urin via källsorterat toalettavfall (klosettavloppsvatten) ökar cirkulationen av näring, bidrar till förbättrad jordhälsa och minskar risken för övergödning i vattendrag.

  4. 3. Investigating fungicide resistance of Alternaria solani, a Solanaceae pathogen, on potato crops in south-eastern Sweden and its relationship with soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Emma Lefèvre; [2023]
    Keywords : Alternaria solani; fungicide resistance; Fluopyram; mycelial growth; type of soil; soil conditions;

    Abstract : Alternaria solani is a worldwide present fungus that can cause a lot of damage such as early blight in potato crops. Potato can suffer a lot of yield losses because of this pathogen, and the main method used today to fight against it, is the application of fungicides. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nodulation and biomass development of yellow and blue lucerne under pH stress

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Katarina Boström; [2023]
    Keywords : lucerne; blue lucerne BL ; yellow lucerne YL ; E. meliloti; nodulation; pH;

    Abstract : Approximately 77% of global arable land use is devoted to forage cultivation, which is the basis for animal production and global food security. Therefore a sustainable and biologically diverse forage cultivation is needed. Feed for cattle needs to contain a good balance between fibre, energy and protein. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigating the response of terrestrial evapotranspiration to droughts in Africa : A combined remote sensing and modeling approach

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Yang Foo; [2023]
    Keywords : earth observation; terrestrial evapotranspiration; drought; vegetation-climate interactions;

    Abstract : Climate change is posing a significant threat to terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, in part due to the more frequent occurrence of extreme climatic events such as droughts. While the importance of drought impacts on vegetation has been widely recognized, the time-dependent characteristics of drought-induced response remain insufficiently understood. READ MORE
