  1. 1. Soil Organic Carbon in Boreal Agricultural Soil : Tillage interruption and its effect on Soil Organic Carbon

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Hilda Alfredsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :soil organic carbon; agriculture; tillage interruption; carbon sequestration;

    Sammanfattning : Farmers have been disrupting the carbon cycle ever since humans started converting forests to agricultural lands. But are there farming practices that can be applied to increase the carbon storage in the soil and subsequently counteract increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere? In this study I investigate if soil organic matter (SOM) and soil organic carbon (SOC) change with longer interruption between tillage events. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Barium in the O horizon of soils near Sundsvall, northern Sweden : From local minerals or from anthropogenic emissions?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Mattias Åsberg Gencturk; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Barium; soil; organic horizon;

    Sammanfattning : Concentrations of potentially toxic metals in surface soils are important to investigate before building new residential areas. Prior to development of a residential area in Sundsvall, northern Sweden, it was observed that barium (Ba) concentrations in the soil at the site exceeded the guideline value of 200 mg kg-1 outlined by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

  4. 3. Aluminum levels in the O-horizon of soils near Sundsvall, Sweden : Are levels of Al elevated due to smelter emission?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Mattias Sundin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Aluminium; Smelter emissions; O-horizon; Al concentration; Scots’ pine needles;

    Sammanfattning : Aluminum (Al) is a potentially toxic element for humans, animals, and plants. Al emitted from smelter plants is one source of Al that may be responsible for increased exposure to humans and the environment. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Elis Ingvarsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :old growth forest; boreal; soil organic carbon stocks; climate gradient;

    Sammanfattning : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Tribolysis : – Reaction of Aromatic Halides for Potential Dehalogenation

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Författare :Oluwaseunnla P. Adelusi; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Tribolysis; Tribology; Mechanochemical Processing; Dehalogenation; Dechlorination; Remediation; Persistent Organic Pollutants; POPs; Polychlorinated biphenyls; PCBs; Dichlorotoluene ;

    Sammanfattning : Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, chemicals and waste management are obtainable under six. Improper and unsafe disposal of toxic chemicals into the environment affects life below water (SDG 14), human health and well-being (SDG 7), and clean water and sanitation (SDG 6). LÄS MER
