  1. 1. The hidden half of the meadow : Interactions between drought, soil carbon, roots and soil microbial communities

    Författare :Daniela Guasconi; Gustaf Hugelius; Sara Cousins; Stefano Manzoni; Petra Fransson; David Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soil; soil carbon; soil ecology; roots; root traits; microbial communities; grasslands; climate change; drought; land management; compost; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : Soil is a hidden ecosystem which harbours plant roots and countless microorganisms, vital for sustaining life aboveground. These belowground communities provide essential ecosystem services like soil stabilisation and organic matter decomposition. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Grasslands in a changing climate : Summer drought and winter warming effects on grassland vegetation

    Författare :Nina Roth; Sara A. O. Cousins; Carly Stevens; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; climate change; compost; floral resources; grasslands; in-situ experiments; mowing; nectar; open-top chambers; plants; rain-out shelters; sheep grazing; soil amendments; summer drought; winter warming; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : Grasslands harbour a high biodiversity of both plants and animals, and they provide many ecosystem services such as fodder production, pollination, and carbon storage. Climate change is likely to alter grassland ecosystems, with the effects varying according to the exact nature and timing of changes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Compost and fertilizer - alternatives or complementary? : management feasibility and long-term effects on soil fertility in an Ethiopian village

    Författare :Workneh Bedada Chala; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Decline in soil fertility due to nutrient depletion is a concern for low-input crop production in the highlands of Ethiopia. Fertilizer addition is insufficient due to infrastructural and socioeconomic constraints. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Greenhouse gas emissions from food and garden waste composting : effects of Management and Process Conditions

    Författare :Evgheni Ermolaev; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Composting is a robust waste treatment technology. Use of finished compost enables plant nutrient recycling, carbon sequestration, soil structure improvement and mineral fertiliser replacement. However, composting also emits greenhouse gases (GHG) such as methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) with high global warming potential (GWP). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Chemical and morphological characterisation of long-term properties of environmentally degradable polymers

    Författare :Carina Eldsäter; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The environmental degradation of an aliphatic polyester,poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and a polyesteramide,poly(butylene adipate-co-amino caproate) (PEA) was studied to answer questionsregarding their life-time in natural environments,e.g.municipal solid waste compost.
