  1. 1. Soil Organic Carbon in Boreal Agricultural Soil : Tillage interruption and its effect on Soil Organic Carbon

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Hilda Alfredsson; [2023]
    Keywords : soil organic carbon; agriculture; tillage interruption; carbon sequestration;

    Abstract : Farmers have been disrupting the carbon cycle ever since humans started converting forests to agricultural lands. But are there farming practices that can be applied to increase the carbon storage in the soil and subsequently counteract increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere? In this study I investigate if soil organic matter (SOM) and soil organic carbon (SOC) change with longer interruption between tillage events. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effect of management strategies on carbon uptake of highway ancillary areas in Northern Germany

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maura Karmann; [2023]
    Keywords : InVEST- model; Highway ancillary areas; carbon pool estimations; management factors; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Carbon storage capacity estimations of terrestrial vegetation are necessary to understand the limit of possible carbon emissions. General approximations, of a landscapes carbon pool capacity, can be performed using the InVEST-model. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reindeer decrease soil carbon stocks and deplete labile soil carbon

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Josua Seitz; [2022]
    Keywords : Reindeer; SOC; soils; Finnland; 13C NMR;

    Abstract : Reindeer have been shown to alter boreal ecosystems by changing the vegetation cover and influencing belowground processes. By providing nutrients for plants and by exerting trampling stress on the field layer vegetation, reindeer induce shifts in the vegetation where ground-lichen are being replaced by evergreen shrubs.

  5. 4. Forest structure of Dalby Söderskog National Park : patterns of carbon storage in living and dead trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kumetra Achuthan; [2021]
    Keywords : ash dieback disease; deadwood; Dutch elm disease; living tree volume; coarse woody debris; carbon stock and storage; pest invasions; temperate mixed broadleaved forest;

    Abstract : Carbon sequestration and storage is an ecosystem service supplied by forests, and is of increasing importance in the context of mitigation of global climate change. Forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalizations, represent a risk to the efficiency of carbon sequestration as they may greatly reduce the amount of the living biomass in forests.

  6. 5. Swimming Pool on top of High-Rise Buildings : A comparison of different structural designs and positions of swimming pools

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : ERVIN MUSINOVIC; MATHIAS CARLSSON; [2021]
    Keywords : High-Rise Buildings; Swimming Pools; FE-analysis; Tall Buildings; Concrete; Simulation; Eurocodes;

    Abstract : This thesis is about determining the risks of positioning swimming pools on top of high-rise buildings.Pursuing this determination, computational simulations of constructed structural models in a finiteelement model software called RFEM have been analyzed. READ MORE
