1. 1. Integrating horticultural and arable crops : a sustainable way to increase vegetable production in Scania?

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

   Författare :Stina Helena Mortensen; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Horticulture; agriculture; vegetables; crop rotation; crop sequence; diversification; integration; ecosystem services; farmers’ attitudes;

   Sammanfattning : Modern arable production is associated with a highly homogenous landscape with few cultivated species and is relying heavily on external chemical inputs. Intensive vegetable production, on the other hand, is associated with environmental costs such as increased risk of nutrient leaching and loss of soil organic matter. LÄS MER

3. 2. 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.

7. 5. The natural pest control potential of different landscapes : mapping the ecosystem service in three regions of Sweden

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

   Nyckelord :natural pest control; natural enemies; landscapes; agricultural diversification; pesticide reduction; mapping; ecosystem service; ecological intensification; agroecology;

   Sammanfattning : Natural pest control describes the process of natural enemies suppressing pests and thus reducing crop damage and stabilizing yields. How well these beneficial arthropod predators and parasitoids can thrive in a landscape is influenced by the land-use types in the vicinity, such as forest patches, pastures, or agricultural fields, and their ability to provide resources.
