  1. 11. Relating the impacts of regenerative farming practices to soil health and carbon sequestration on Gotland, Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Laerke Daverkosen; Alena Holzknecht; [2021]
    Keywords : regenerative agriculture; soil health; carbon sequestration; Gotland Sweden ;

    Abstract : Land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss through agriculture are some of the greatest challenges we are facing today. Fertile and productive soils are the basis of life on this planet and need to be protected and restored to support a growing population and lower negative impacts of climate change. READ MORE

  3. 12. Reconstructing Weathering and Climate Trends on Loess Deposits in NW France Using XRF Analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hanna Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : geochemistry; loess; XRF; weathering; climate change; N-W France;

    Abstract : Analyzing climate changes by loess sediment deposits formed after the last glacial maximum gives us information about how the environment was dynamically before humans physically could record climate changes. Sampling and analyzing loess from different places in the world give us a more reliable view of when events and changes in climate took place. READ MORE

  4. 13. 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 Environment

    Author : Mikael Sasha Dooha; [2021]
    Keywords : soil; soil organic matter; carbon; carbon sequestration; tillage; land-use; soil structure; porosity; modelling; humification;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 14. Carbon Storage in Quaternary Deposits of the Circum-Arctic Permafrost Region

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Annegret Udke; [2021]
    Keywords : Quaternary deposits; Carbon storage; Permafrost region; Organic Geochemistry; Sedimentology; Vulnerability; Thermokarst;

    Abstract : Rapid warming in northern latitudes will lead to permafrost thaw and subsequent carbon remobilisa­tion and release to the atmosphere. To incorporate the permafrost carbon climate feedback in globalEarth System Models, it is of importance to know the carbon stored in the circum­Arctic permafrostregion as accurate and precise as possible.

  6. 15. Olika trädsubstrats vattenhållande kapacitet och dräneringsförmåga : en jämförande studie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Michael Barone; [2021]
    Keywords : ekosystemtjänster; träd; växtbäddar; dagvatten; skelettbäddar; substrat; biokol; pimpsten; dränering; fältkapacitet;

    Abstract : I takt med klimatförändringarnas framfart, med bland annat högre temperaturer och mer extrema skyfall, riktas det alltmer fokus på de reglerande ekosystemtjänster som träden kan erbjuda oss i det urbana landskapet. För att träden ska kunna leverera de ekosystemtjänster som efterfrågas krävs att de når en hög ålder och därmed också större volymer i krona och stam. READ MORE
