  1. 1. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
    Nyckelord :soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

    Sammanfattning : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effect of Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Leek (Allium porrum) fertilized with Inorganic N Combined with Saturated Polonite

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Emmanuel Owusu Boateng; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Phosphorus; Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi; Saturated polonite; Nitrogen; Allium porrum; Sustainability; circular economy;

    Sammanfattning : The continuous rise in global population continues to increase the demand for food. Meeting this rise in demand requires an increase in agricultural input, such as applying fertilizers, including phosphorus (P). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Nodulation and biomass development of yellow and blue lucerne under pH stress

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Författare :Katarina Boström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :lucerne; blue lucerne BL ; yellow lucerne YL ; E. meliloti; nodulation; pH;

    Sammanfattning : Approximately 77% of global arable land use is devoted to forage cultivation, which is the basis for animal production and global food security. Therefore a sustainable and biologically diverse forage cultivation is needed. Feed for cattle needs to contain a good balance between fibre, energy and protein. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Estimation of Site-Specific Biomass and Leaf Area Index in a Young Scots pine Stand in Southern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Olamide Michael Adu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Scots pine; Biomass estimation; Leaf area index; Model validation; Site-specific models;

    Sammanfattning : Accurate biomass and leaf area index (LAI) estimation are crucial for understanding forest productivity and carbon dynamics. Models are crucial to estimating forest biomass and LAI. This study aimed to estimate site-specific aboveground biomass and LAI in a young Scots pine stand in southern Sweden. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Tritrophic interactions with Silphium integrifolium at the axis : elucidating the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species on plant phenotype

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Författare :Philipp Hansen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Arbuscular mycorrhiza; mycorrhizal responsiveness; induced plant volatiles; Silphium integrifolium Silflower ; perennial grains; new crops; ecological intensification;

    Sammanfattning : A fundamental understanding of the intricate interactions between crops and their environment may help guide the development of ecologically intensified agriculture. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that can increase a plant’s access to soil resources and have been found to reprogram plant defensive mechanisms, potentially influencing the performance of plant antagonists.
