  4. 3. Identifying large-scale land acquisitions and their agro-ecological consequences : a remote sensing based study in Ghana

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Jenny Hansson; [2017]
    Nyckelord :remote sensing; land acquisition; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; Ghana; agro-ecology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Today there are more than 45 million hectares (ha) of concluded large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in the low- and middle- income countries around the globe. Whether LSLA is referred to as land grabbing or land investment, LSLA means that the right to utilise land is moved from the local people to investors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Development of Kraft Lignin and Coating Technique to Prepare Coated Urea Fertilisers with Increased Nutrient Use Efficiency

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Författare :Xueyan Xu; [2017]
    Nyckelord :fertilizer coating; lignin; modified lignin; polylactide; slow release; ytbeläggning för gödningsmedel; lignin; modifierad lignin; polylaktid; kontrollerad frisättning;

    Sammanfattning : Coating urea to prepare controlled release N-fertilizer has been considered as an effective way to increase its nutrient use efficiency, thus reduce its waste and the consequent harmful environmental impacts. Inorganic sulphur and synthetic polymers have been used in the industry as coating materials together with utilization of various types of expensive coating equipment which commonly requires also complicated technical setup and controls.
