SLU calculates and reports emissions and uptake from Sweden's Land use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF).
The Department of Soil and Environment is part of the Soil-Water-Environment cluster at SLU and belongs to both the Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences and the Faculty of Forest Sciences.
We offer courses at basic and advanced level in Soil science, Biology and Environmental science and PhD training in Soil Science.
We research soil science that is a multi-and interdisciplinary subject and covers the interaction between biological, chemical and physical processes and properties of the soil environment.
The Department of Soil and Environment carries out monitoring and assessment in agricultural landscapes and forests. We also investigate agricultural impact of eutrophication.
Field trials are conducted as a part of our applied rearch. Most of them are located to our field stations Lanna Research station outside Skara and Ekhaga outside Uppsala.
Results from the sampling of air and precipitation within the National Environmental Monitoring Program of Pesticides are found here. Precipitation is collected in the counties of Skåne and Uppland. Both sites are situated far from nearest arable fields in order to avoid short range transport of pesticides, as the focus is on measuring the background levels of pesticides from long range transport. Air is collected, by filter and PUF, at the site in Skåne.
Collection of precipitation and air in the county of Skåne started at the site Vavihill (Söderåsen, Skåne) in 2002 but was moved to Hallahus (Söderåsen, Skåne) in 2017 (but 2016 for air). The Northern site was first at Aspvreten, in the county of Södermanland, but moved in 2017 to Norunda, county of Uppland. The sites of Vavihill (SE0011R), Aspvreten (SE0012R) amd Hallahus (SE0020R) is part of the EMEP network and Norunda is part of the ICOS-network.
