11. Feeding the 45 million : substituting soybean protein with insect protein within EU poultry and egg production
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : A global population increasing both in number and in resource consumption per capita has resulted in food, livestock feed and energy crop demands that are increasingly difficult to meet on rapidly degrading soils within a diminishing available area of arable land. With further expansion of agricultural land infeasible and yield increases through further intensification insufficient to meet the scale of predicted crop demand, the use of insects as an animal feed has gained traction as a method of not only reducing competition for arable land, but also some of the detrimental environmental consequences of livestock and conventional feed production.

12. Diving into Blue Carbon : A Review on Carbon Sequestration by Mangrove Forests, Seagrass Meadows and Salt Marshes, and Their Capacity to Act as Global Carbon Sinks
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : During the last decade, the academic interest for Earth’s natural carbon sinks and their role concerning climate change has increased. Today, many scientists around the world are trying to calculate different ecosystem’s potential to sequester and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. LÄS MER
13. Carbon sequestration in topsoil for forage-based cropping systems : an analysis of Swedish long-term experiments and SOC modelling
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : C sequestration in soils is a potential way to mitigate climate change and increase the fertility of arable soils. Ley has long been known to deliver more C to its root systems compared to annual crops. Therefore, it has been suggested as a potential C sequestration strategy. LÄS MER
14. Organic farming’s role in adaptation to and mitigation of climate change : an overview of ecological resilience and a model case study
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Agriculture is essential for human survival and today it faces many problems related to both climate change and an increasing population. While increased total yields during the 20th century have created the conditions for both global economic and population growth, the agricultural practices utilized have often had detrimental consequences both for ecosystems and people.

15. Biokolets påverkan på markens organiska material - Kan gödsling med biokol bidra till en kolinlagring i marken?
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildningSammanfattning : Here I present a conceptual synthesis of the processes governing soil carbon in the event of biochar application. Biochar is a product of a controlled pyrolysis process and is known for its physical, chemical and adsorptive properties. LÄS MER
