1. 1. 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. 2. Gas Chromatographic Method Development for Analysis of Samples from a Carbon Capture Pilot Plant

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : David Wedin; [2024]
   Keywords : Carbon Capture and Storage; CCS; AMP DMSO; Gas Chromatography; amine absorption; analysis method development; Chemical Engineering; Chemistry;

   Abstract : In response to the escalating threat of climate change, carbon capture and storage have gained increasing attention as an important component in mitigating the global carbon dioxide emissions. Substantial research efforts have focused on enhancing the energy efficiency and availability of these technologies. READ MORE

4. 3. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
   Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

   Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

5. 4. Analysis of fatty acids in fatty acid-based herbicides by gas chromatography

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Mohamad Abd Elwadood; [2023]
   Keywords : Analytical Chemistry; Fatty Acids; Gas Chromatography; Green Herbicides; Retention Index; Flame Ionization Detector; Mass Spectrometry; Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction.; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Fatty acids-based herbicides are considered to be a green alternative to synthesized weed control products. However, the environmentally sustainable effect of those herbicides needs more investigation to be confirmed. READ MORE

6. 5. 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
