  1. 6. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  3. 7. Deep reinforcement learning for automated building climate control

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Erik Snällfot; Martin Hörnberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Reinforcement Learning; Deep Learning; Deep Reinforcement Learning; Building Control; Control System;

    Abstract : The building sector is the single largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, making it a natural focal point for reducing energy consumption. More efficient use of energy is also becoming increasingly important for property managers as global energy prices are skyrocketing. READ MORE

  4. 8. Climate, Irrigation, and GHGs : a Regional Analysis of EU Arable Land Values

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Filip Markovic; [2024]
    Keywords : air pollution; climate change; EU; global warming; irrigation; land value;

    Abstract : This master's thesis explores the influence of climate conditions on EU arable land values, pioneering a novel approach that blends the Ricardian Approach models within an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) framework. By employing this methodology at the regional level of NUTS2, the study offers insights into the interplay between climate and land value. READ MORE

  5. 9. Heritability of methane emission in Swedish Red cattle in northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Lucy Chipondoro; [2024]
    Keywords : methane emission; heritability; swedish Red cattle; dairy cow;

    Abstract : Dairy cattle contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4), among other livestock species. Methane has a negative impact on climate; therefore, its reduction is a top priority for a sustainable dairy production system. READ MORE

  6. 10. Greenhouse gas emissions from peat soil thawing in spring : a comparison between fertilized and unfertilized soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Fanny Otterlin Karlsson; [2024]
    Keywords : agricultural soil; carbon dioxide; freeze-thaw cycles; nitrous oxide; soil temperature; water content;

    Abstract : Peat soils drained for agriculture and forestry contribute to a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with high warming potential and agriculture in general accounts for about 70 % of nitrous oxide emissions. READ MORE
