  1. 6. Val av trädkvalitet i urban miljö : trädstorlekens påverkan på etablering vid nyplantering

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Emanuel Cantillana; [2024]
    Keywords : Trädplantering; etablering; mindre kvaliteter; urbana träd;

    Abstract : Etablering av nyplanterade träd i urbana miljöer kan komma med vissa svårigheter då träden ofta möter tuffa ovan- och underjordiska förhållanden. Detta gäller sådant som vandalisering, torka och bristfällig jordkvalitet. READ MORE

  3. 7. The potential to use rhizobacteria within agricultural innovations instead of chemical inputs : taking quality and quantity of the crop into consideration

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Ida Quisth; Isabella Ulfsparre; [2024]
    Keywords : Biocontrol; Biofertilizer; Biopesticide; Biostimulant; Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria; PGPR; Quality; Rhizosphere Microbiome; Yield;

    Abstract : Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria that occur naturally, colonize the roots of plants and can promote plant growth. PGPR isolated and used as inoculum to seed or plants is mostly marketed as a growth stimulant because it facilitates registration and reduces costs, even though PGPR may also serve as biocontrol products.

  4. 8. THE FIRST ACTIVE ACID SULFATE SOIL FOUND OUTSIDE THE BALTIC BASIN, IN VISKA VALLEY WEST COAST OF SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Bergström; [2023-09-15]
    Keywords : Acid sulfate soil; AS soil; ERT measurements; resistivity; Baltic basin; Swedish west coast; acidification; Tapes transgression;

    Abstract : Acid sulfate (AS) soils are naturally formed but are responsible for environmental problem due to its low pH. Drainage of active AS soils can lead to mobilization of harmful metals and a severe pH drop in nearby aquatic environments, which in turn may harm the ecological conditions. READ MORE

  5. 9. If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonatan Uusitalo; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique to reconstruct the contamination history of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, with a focus on Cu.

  6. 10. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Keywords : drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE
