  1. 1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maja Holm; [2024]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem science; soil organic carbon; soil sampling; perennial crops; carbon sequestration; carbon farming; Kernza™; soil organic carbon stock; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

  3. 2. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Keywords : drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Platsens betydelse för växtnäringsläckage från jordbruksmark i Sverige

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Frida Lundell; [2023]
    Keywords : kväve- och fosforutlakning; rumslig variation; långtidsövervakning;

    Abstract : Växtnäringsläckage av kväve (N) och fosfor (P) från jordbruksmark tillför näringsämnen till hav och vattendrag. Det är viktigt att minska transporten av N och P av flera anledningar, då det bland annat är en stor bidragande faktor till övergödning. READ MORE

  5. 4. Lindmalva i sockerbetor : ett framtida ogräs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Frederik Falck; [2023]
    Keywords : Abutilon theophrasti Medik; Beta vulgaris; biologi; Conviso One; förebyggande åtgärder; herbicider; mekanisk bekämpning; ogräsbekämpning; reproduktion;

    Abstract : Lindmalva (Abutilon theophrasti Medik) är ett sommarannuellt örtogräs som kan leda till kraftiga skördesänkningar i sockerbetor. Svenska betodlare har hittills varit förskonade mot lindmalvan och det har enbart rapporterats om enstaka fynd. READ MORE

  6. 5. Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change and Water Scarcity on Agricultural Practices in Kenya -Implications for Adaptation Strategies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Sanjina Rahi Oishee; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate Change; Agriculture; Temperature; Precipitation; Water Scarcity; Agro-Climatic Zone; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term.
