  1. 1. Tritrophic interactions with Silphium integrifolium at the axis : elucidating the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species on plant phenotype

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Philipp Hansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Arbuscular mycorrhiza; mycorrhizal responsiveness; induced plant volatiles; Silphium integrifolium Silflower ; perennial grains; new crops; ecological intensification;

    Abstract : A fundamental understanding of the intricate interactions between crops and their environment may help guide the development of ecologically intensified agriculture. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that can increase a plant’s access to soil resources and have been found to reprogram plant defensive mechanisms, potentially influencing the performance of plant antagonists.

  3. 2. Bearbetningsmetoders påverkan på markorganismers aktivitet i jorden : i perenna odlingar samt i odlingssystem med mellangrödor

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

    Author : Jenny Olofsson; [2021]
    Keywords : markorganismer; respiration; organiskt material; odlingsmetoder; biologiska processer; kemiska processer och fysikaliska processer; perenna odlingssystem; mellangrödor; klimatförändringar; microbial activity; respiration; organic matter; soil tillage methods; biological processes; chemical processes and physical processes; perennial crops; conservation agriculture; intermediate crops; climate change;

    Abstract : Klimatförändringarna, som både påverkat och påverkar vår planet, kräver att mänskliga aktiviteter förändras till mer resurssnåla och systemeffektiva processer. I dessa processer bör markens bördighet vara det centrala, eftersom en bördig mark kan generera stabila skördar och bidra till en långsiktigt hållbar matförsörjning. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of the possibility of phytoremediation (using Salix) as a management tool for abandoned sites moderately contaminated with arsenic : a literature review

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Victor Akinwale; [2020]
    Keywords : phytostabilization; leaching; solubility and mobility; economic benefits;

    Abstract : The presence of arsenic in soil and water has become an increasing problem in many countries around the world. The exposure of high concentration of arsenic in its inorganic form in natural environment such as soil and water makes it harmful to both humans, wildlife and plants. READ MORE

  5. 4. Time series analysis for spring barley phenology monitoring using Sentinel 2 – A case study of Southern-central Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Pavlos Aslanis; [2020]
    Keywords : spring barley; crop phenology; crop growth stages; TIMESAT; double logistic; threshold optimization; Sentinel 2; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Monitoring crop phenology at parcel scale aligns with the concept of precision agriculture (PA) and can provide invaluable information to agronomic management systems. Satellite time series data are commonly deployed for detecting crop growth stages, while the recent advancements in remote sensing (RS) technologies such as the launch of Sentinel 2 (S2) are providing unprecedented opportunities for crop monitoring.

  6. 5. Local food markets : consumer perspectives and values

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Economics

    Author : Heléna Lindström; [2019]
    Keywords : decision-making; direct markets; local foods; service-dominant logic; values;

    Abstract : There has been an increased interest for local food in Sweden, which has led to governmental plans to support and increase the Swedish local and small-scale production. Few studies have however been made to understand the motivations of the consumers who buy local food and what they perceive as being valued with these products and services in Sweden. READ MORE
