  2. 1. Nitrous oxide emission from soil : On extrapolation from soil environmental factors

    Author : Kerstin Robertson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; N20 emission; denitrification; soil factors; soil moisture; N03-; NH4 ; regression analysis; PLS analysis; IR remote sensing; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : Nitrous oxide(N20) is a natural component of the atmosphere which contributes both to the greenhouse effect and to the destruction of stratospheric ozone. National as well as global inventories indicate thatboth natural and anthropogenic emissions from terrestrial ecosystems constitute a large fraction of the annual loading of N20 on the atmosphere.

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

    Author : Daniela Guasconi; Gustaf Hugelius; Sara Cousins; Stefano Manzoni; Petra Fransson; David Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : 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;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  5. 3. Excavation in moraine and dense non-cohesive soil : Numerical analysis of soil behavior

    Author : Mattias Lindgren; Staffan Hinze; Sigurdur Erlingsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Excavation; Excavatability; Moraine; Dense non-cohesive soil;

    Abstract : Excavation and moving of soil are common civil work tasks connected to the construction of buildings, roads and railways. In construction projects large amounts of soil have to be handled with different machines, tools and working methods. Soils are more or less difficult to excavate depending on their properties.

  6. 4. Nitrogen Losses from a Clay-rich Soil used for Cereal Production in south-western Sweden

    Author : Magdalena Wallmann; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; nitrogen; fertilisers; soil; nitrous oxide; nitrogen leaching; 15N; nitrogen use efficiency; nitrogen budget; agriculture; Sweden;

    Abstract : Addition of fertiliser nitrogen (N) in crop production increases yields and protein contents, but all is not taken up by the crop. Instead, some of the N is lost to air and waters, contributing e.g. to climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, eutrophication and acidification. READ MORE
