  1. 1. The assessment of ecosystem services provided by forest edge effects on fields in a fragmented Swedish agricultural landscape : a methodological framework

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

    Författare :Juliette Nguyen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :carbon sequestration; cropping systems; DSSAT; ecosystem services; edge effect; food production; landscape diversification; landscape fragmentation; soil heterogeneity; soil organic carbon; spatial variability; total nitrogen; yield;

    Sammanfattning : Agricultural expansion, prompted by increasing global food demand, has fragmented, simplified, and homogenized the landscape in the last decades. The resilience and sustainability of croplands are at stake, resulting in a hight vulnerability to climate change, and having major impacts on environmental protection, biodiversity preservation and food security.
