21. Revisiting push-pull technology: Below and aboveground mechanisms for ecosystem services
Abstract : Push-pull technology is an effective and ecological solution to suppressing major Lepidopteran pests of cereals, in particular stem-borers (Busseola fusca, Chilo partellus), the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) and the parasitic weed Striga. The technology exploits plant-insect interactions in intercropping practices to manage the pests, increasing productivity while maintaining ecosystem resilience. READ MORE

22. The boreal journey of methyl mercury : from forest harvest to black alder swamps
Abstract : The bioaccumulating neurotoxin methyl mercury (MeHg) is largely recognized as a problem in the boreal landscape. Both forest harvest sites and wetlands have been identified as MeHg sources. READ MORE

23. Tillage practices and their impact on soil organic carbon and the microbial community
Abstract : Soil microorganisms are important for climate regulation as well as for plant nutrition. In agricultural soils the microorganisms are affected by management choices, like which type of tillage that is used. READ MORE

24. On the Ecology of Saprotrophic Fungi and Bacteria in Soil: Biotic and Abiotic Control of Growth Rates
Abstract : Two groups of organisms dominate the decomposition in soil: fungi and bacteria. One of the most important parameters to optimise for any organism is its growth, and thus a direct way to study the effect of environmental factors on fungi and bacteria in soil is to measure their growth rate.

25. Encounters at the microscale: Unraveling soil microbial interactions with nanoplastics
Abstract : Nanoplastics (NPs) originated from plastic residues can interact with soil microorganisms with potential negative effects to their functions. Therefore, I aimed to investigate soil microbial population dynamics when exposed to different NP polymers and concentrations. READ MORE
