1. 1. Effect of Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Leek (Allium porrum) fertilized with Inorganic N Combined with Saturated Polonite

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

   Author : Emmanuel Owusu Boateng; [2023]
   Keywords : Phosphorus; Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi; Saturated polonite; Nitrogen; Allium porrum; Sustainability; circular economy;

   Abstract : The continuous rise in global population continues to increase the demand for food. Meeting this rise in demand requires an increase in agricultural input, such as applying fertilizers, including phosphorus (P). READ MORE

3. 2. Investigation of above-ground biomass with terrestrial laser scanning : A case study of Valls Hage in Gävle

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

   Author : Mathias Billenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : TLS; tree species; QSM; AGB; volume; wood density; biomass; allometric; point cloud;

   Abstract : The thesis investigates above-ground biomass (AGB) with terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for estimating AGB in a study area in Valls Hage, Gävle. The study used TLS for field measurements to collect highly detailed point clouds of two tree species for AGB estimation and comparison against validation data. READ MORE

4. 3. Planning future forests for energy, environment and wildlife : Evaluation of forest management scenarios using a forest landscape model in Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Sigvard Bast; [2022]
   Keywords : Forest landscape model; Biomass succession simulation; Carbon stock change; Habitat indicators; Scenario analysis; Integrated sustainability assessment;

   Abstract : Comparing the future state of natural capital and ecosystem services with quantitative scenarios  is essential in the decision-making process for a sustainable management of forest landscapes. In Sweden, an intensified forest management will likely be necessary to meet future demands of woody biomass as a source of bioenergy and building materials. READ MORE

5. 4. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Ainahu Abdul Hamid; [2021]
   Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation optical depth; Temperate Forest; Climate; LPJ-GUESS; Evapotranspiration; Leaf water potential; Isohydricity; Hydraulic failure; Carbon starvation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. READ MORE

6. 5. Advancing understanding of tropical forest carbon dynamics through improved allometric models for palms: A case study with Prestoea montana in Puerto

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Paschalis Chatzopoulos; [2021]
   Keywords : Above ground biomass; allometry; Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot; Palms;

   Abstract : Tropical forests are major components of Earth’s carbon stocks, but their diversity and structural complexity pose major challenges for making accurate estimates of their above ground biomass (AGB). Palms, in particular, are prominent and unique components of many tropical forests that have anatomical and physiological differences from dicot trees which affect their height - diameter allometry and consequently, our ability to accurately estimate their AGB.
