1. 1. 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
