1. 1. Effects of tillage and straw treatments on earthworm abundance : study in two Swedish long-term field trials

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Fredrik Ahlberg; [2023]
   Keywords : anecic; conventional tillage; endogeic; no-tillage; reduced tillage;

   Abstract : Earthworms have several functions in the soil, for instance redistribution of organic matter and enhancing plant available nutrients. Earthworms are divided into three ecological groups, with different functions in the soil. The groups are: anecic, endogeic and epigeic. READ MORE

3. 2. Reconstructing Past Climate by Using XRF and Loss of Ignition on Loess from Adventdalen, Svalbard : Rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat genom attanvända XRF analys och antändningsförlust på lössavlagringar från Adventdalen, Svalbard

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Albin Andreasson; Noa Lind; [2023]
   Keywords : Svalbard; loess soil; XRF; weathering; climate change;

   Abstract : By analyzing the texture, composition and chemical composition of loess soils, the reconstruction ofpast climate regimes is enabled, which can improve our understanding of current and future climatechange. Properties such as grain size and composition, mineralogy, organic matter and chemicalcomposition can provide information about which environmental factors were present during thedeposition of the sediment, which can lead to a detailed picture of the climate history of a site.

4. 3. The potential nitrous oxide emissions in a permanent grassland chronosequence

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Sandra Lillsjö Kronblad; [2023]
   Keywords : nitrous oxide emission; permanent grasslands; denitrification; nitrous; reen house gas; agriculture;

   Abstract : As a part of a larger project (Belowground biodiversity of grasslands – conservation needs and potential to promote sustainable agriculture), this study aims to investigate potential nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and microbial gene abundances needed for the production (nirS and nirK) and reduction (nosZI and nosZII) of nitrous oxide in soil of permanent grasslands of various age. Thegrasslands have at different times been converted to permanent grasslands and are of interest because of the possibility to shed more light about the passage of time’s affects on the soil microbialcommunities and their activity.

5. 4. Effekt av olika odlingssystem på markstruktur och avkastning : pargårdsstudie i Skåne

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Clara Kihlstrand; Linnéa Frisk; [2023]
   Keywords : Markhälsa; reducerad jordbearbetning; ; Conservation Agriculture; plöjning; mellangröda; höstvete; aggregatstabilitet; daggmaskar; pH; dragkraft; infiltration; vattenhalt;

   Abstract : Metoderna att odla jordbruksmark är många. Dessa odlingssystem påverkar markstrukturen och markhälsan på olika vis. Markhälsa är ett begrepp som blir allt viktigare. Under 2023 kommer EU med nya markdirektiv som ska säkra långsiktig odling och hjälpa till att nå klimatmålen. READ MORE

6. 5. Aluminum levels in the O-horizon of soils near Sundsvall, Sweden : Are levels of Al elevated due to smelter emission?

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

   Author : Mattias Sundin; [2023]
   Keywords : Aluminium; Smelter emissions; O-horizon; Al concentration; Scots’ pine needles;

   Abstract : Aluminum (Al) is a potentially toxic element for humans, animals, and plants. Al emitted from smelter plants is one source of Al that may be responsible for increased exposure to humans and the environment. READ MORE
