  2. 21. Polyphenols in Swedish berries and pulses : Characterization and in vivo effects of fractions from lingonberries and brown beans in an Apoe-/- mouse model

    Author : Jiyun Liu; Cornelia Witthöft; Anne-Maria Pajari; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; lingonberry; brown bean; flavonoids; phenolic acids; dietary fiber; HPLC-UV MS; atherosclerotic plaque; plasma lipid; gut microbiota; short-chain fatty acids; trimethylamine N-oxide; Apoe- - mice; lingon; bruna bönor; flavonoider; fenolsyror; kostfiber; HPLCUV MS; aterosklerotisk plaketter; plasmalipid; tarm-mikrobiota; kortkedjiga fettsyror; trimetylamin N-oxid; Apoe- - möss; Livsmedelsvetenskap; Food Science;

    Abstract : Consumption of berries and pulses can protect against atherosclerosis and other metabolic diseases, by modulating plasma lipid profile, gut microbiota, and microbiota-dependent metabolites. These nutritional benefits are often attributed to high content of polyphenols (flavonoids and phenolic acids) and dietary fiber. READ MORE

  4. 22. Sulfur cycling in Swedish arable soils : a chemical perspective

    Author : Kristin Boye; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Sulfur (S) is an essential plant nutrient. Decreased S deposition in combination with a switch to high-analysis N/P-fertilizers has increased the need for S fertilization. Thus, soil research directed at understanding soil sulfur properties and processes has intensified. READ MORE

  5. 23. Apple genomics for the Swedish breeding programme

    Author : Jonas Skytte Af Sätra; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Swedish apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivation is a niche market setting specific requirements on new apple cultivars. Notably, the growing season is short, especially in central and northern Sweden, and there are relatively few pesticides available, making resistance to diseases important. READ MORE

  6. 24. Evaluating thinning practices and assessment methods for improved management in coniferous production forests in southern Sweden

    Author : Magnus Persson; Johan Bergh; Lauri Mehtätalo; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; thinning; within-stand variation; tree species classification; Scots pine; Norway spruce; Sentinel-2; Heureka; Precision forestry; thinning detection; basal area; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Most of our knowledge about wood production of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and associated silvicultural guidelines are based on field experiments. READ MORE

  7. 25. Acidification of Swedish forest soils : evaluation of data from the Swedish forest soil inventory

    Author : Johan Iwald; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : 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.
