We need to remediate the capacity of agricultural landscapes to retain water, nutrients and sediments to make them
more resilient to the increasing frequency of flooding, drought and pollution expected with the climate change. It can
be done by remediating existing narrow ditches into ditches with bevelled slopes, wider channels and two-stage ditches, with a goal of slowing the water down and increasing biogeochemical removal of nutrients and sediments. These remediated ditches are now widespread in the Swedish landscape and needed as almost half of the 90 000 km of open ditches are in poor ecological status. Thus, our project aims at understanding factors controlling cost-effectiveness of remediated dtiches, their design, maintenance, and the impact on downstream water quality. This will provide stakeholders with tools to maximise effectiveness and evaluate the impact of existing and new measures needed to compensate for future pressures on agricultural landscapes.
Inför klimatförändringarna behöver vi återställa jordbrukslandskapets kapacitet att behålla vatten, näringsämnen och
sediment för att höja motståndskraften mot de förväntade ökningarna av näringsförluster, torka och översvämningar.
Detta kan göras genom att konvertera smala öppna diken till diken med avfasade kanter, diken med bredare fåra eller
tvåstegsdiken, för att fördröja vattnet och öka biogeokemiska omvandlingar. Dessa åtgärder finns redan i det svenska
landskapet och behövs eftersom nästan hälften av 90 000 km av diken i Sverige är i dålig ekologisk status. Vårt
projekt vill klarlägga styrande faktorer av kostnadseffektivitet av åtgärder i jordbruksdiken, deras design, skötsel och
placering i avrinningområden, och påverkan på nedströms vattenkvalitet i nuvarande och framtida klimat. Detta
kommer ge intressenter verktyg för att maximera effektiviteten och utvärdera påverkan av existerande och nya
åtgärder som behövs för att kompensera för framtida tryck på jordbrukslandskapet.

Free living nematodes (FLN) and root-knot nematodes (RKN) are increasing problems in root and tuber crops such as potato, sugar beet and carrot. There is a need for effective sanitation techniques and tolerant crops/varieties to keep population levels low in the rotation. Recently, the severe …

A high rate of on-farm deaths and euthanized cows is an indication of poor animal welfare, leads to economic losses for farmers and is not compatible with sustainable food production. The mortality rate of Swedish dairy cows is high from an international perspective and efforts are needed to …

The project aims to study the long-term effect of structure liming, and to test if minimum tillage can prolong the duration of this effect. The hypothesis is that structure liming effects diminish over time, but by minimizing soil tillage we can prolong this effect. Studies will be performed in six …

Soil organic carbon is an important factor for soil health and productivity. Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) also plays a crucial role in meeting the climate goals. For that purpose, catch- and cover crops are identified as a cost-effective management practice that combines SCS with other ecosystem …

SLU has developed an innovative technology that converts human urine to high-quality solid fertiliser. On Gotland, SLU and Gotlands Bryggeri have also shown that urine can effectively fertilise barley, which can be processed further to make beer. Over the next few years, SLU and the Bryggeri need …

The risk of soil compaction is high in Sweden, as soils are often wet during field operations and because heavy machinery is used. The predicted increase in precipitation and increase of extreme weather events with heavy rainfall will potentially increase this risk, indicating a need for a reliable …
