  4. 3. Water flow and solute transport through a frozen clay soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Anna Elena Hess; [2017]
    Keywords : pesticides; freezing; thawing; leaching; soil;

    Abstract : Freezing and thawing of soil affect water flow in the vadose zone for instance by altering soil structure or ice blocking parts of the pore system. Changes in soil hydraulic properties impact solute transport and therefore the risk that pesticides and other agrochemicals are transported towards groundwater. READ MORE

  5. 4. Statistical and neural network ananlysis of pesticide losses to surface water in small agricultural catchments in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil Sciences

    Author : Stina Adielsson; [2005]
    Keywords : pesticide loss; Vemmenhög; multiple linear regression; pesticide properties;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explain variations in pesticide leaching from the pesticide properties (DT50, koc, log Pow, Sw and combinations of these) using multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks. The data came mainly from Vemmenhög, a catchment nine square kilometres in size dominated by agriculture, located in the south of Sweden. READ MORE
