  2. 21. Diversity and functional potential of fungal communities in Arctic and boreal freshwaters

    Author : Mariana Kluge; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Fungi are important decomposers of the organic matter (OM) in terrestrial environments, but there is limited knowledge about their ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems. This thesis applies a variety of molecular techniques (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 22. Soil structure and water functions in agricultural soils of the temperate-boreal zone in a changing climate

    Author : Tobias Klöffel; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Climate change may affect the productivity of cropping systems in the temperateboreal zone by increasing the frequency of periods with water excess and shortage. Soils have the capacity to buffer such extreme weather events by regulating water storage and fluxes, which are mainly a function of soil structure. READ MORE

  5. 23. Linking landscape variables, hydrology and weathering regime in Taiga and Tundra ecoregions of Northern Sweden

    Author : Erik Smedberg; Christoph Humborg; Robert Striegl; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Taiga and tundra; high-latitude; carbon fluxes; weathering; hydrological alterations; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : High-latitude watersheds have been regarded as a carbon sink with soil carbon accumulating at low temperature. This sink is now believed to turn into a source, acting as positive feedback to climate warming. READ MORE

  6. 24. There is no easy answer : Factors affecting meat quality in lambs

    Author : Elin Stenberg; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis examined the effects of production system, slaughter method, carcass handling procedures and storage method on the quality of meat from intact male lambs. Quality aspects of the meat assessed were carcass quality, meat quality indicators (measured on carcasses), technological meat quality (measured on meat samples) and sensory attributes. READ MORE

  7. 25. Nutrient management in sewerage systems : investigations of components and exergy analysis

    Author : Daniel Hellström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to present results from different experiments dealing with components that may be useful to improve nutrient management within sewerage systems. Further, exergy analysis is used to compare the utilisation of physical resources within different alternatives for sewerage nutrient management. READ MORE
