6. Dynamic modelling of the forest ecosystem: Incorporation of the phosphorus cycle
Sammanfattning : The forest ecosystem provides and regulates many important ecosystem services, such as soil and water protection, timber production, and climate regulation. It has been influenced by changes induced by humans, for example, our increasing demand for timber and bioenergy, the increase in nitrogen (N) deposition and CO2 concentrations due to industrialization, and climate change which has caused an increase in global temperature and extreme events such as storms.

7. Environmental assessment of incinerator residue utilisation
Sammanfattning : In Sweden, utilisation of incinerator residues outside disposal areas is restricted by environmental concerns, as such residues commonly contain greater amounts of potentially toxic trace elements than the natural materials they replace. On the other hand, utilisation can also provide environmental benefits by decreasing the need for landfill and reducing raw material extraction. LÄS MER
8. Assembly of semliki forest and influenza A viruses
Sammanfattning : Enveloped viruses contain an external lipid membrane with spikes surrounding their nucleocapsid (NC). The envelope is acquired at a late stage of virus assembly by budding of the NC through a virus-modified host membrane. LÄS MER
9. Acidification of Swedish forest soils : evaluation of data from the Swedish forest soil inventory
Sammanfattning : Acidification of forest soils in Sweden has negatively affected nutrient status and caused toxic effects on biota. The aim of this thesis was to investigate potential impacts of two drivers of acidification of forest soils in Sweden: (1) tree growth with subsequent harvest and (2) deposition of sulphur and nitrogen compounds.

10. Sink or source? : uncertainties in large scale model predictions of forest soil organic carbon dynamics
Sammanfattning : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest terrestrial carbon pool and small changes in this pool may affect the global carbon balance, especially atmospheric concentration of CO2. Within the context of climate policy, the quantification of these changes is important, as pool changes may affect a country's national greenhouse gas budget. LÄS MER
