Beyond clay content and fixed root-to-shoot ratios for organic carbon estimates in Swedish agricultural soils
Miyanda Chilipamushi is the author of a new doctoral thesis that evaluates sources of uncertainty in estimates of organic carbon storage in Swedish agricultural mineral soils. Her results open up for better decisions for soil management and climate mitigation in the future. -
Rare boreal deadwood fungi do not recover in clear-cut forests
Managed boreal forests support far less diverse fungal communities compared to successional forests sprung from forest fires. A new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences shows stark differences in the abundance of rare species between environments of different forest regimes. -
Cover crops reduce nitrogen leaching in a warmer climate
Climate change is expected to lead to increased nitrogen leaching in the Nordic countries. In his thesis, David Nimblad Svensson shows that growing cover crops is an important measure, that will become even more important in a future climate to reduce nitrogen leaching and preserve soil fertility.
