Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for evidence-based rulings on mitigation. By newly developed Relaxed Eddy Accumulation (REA) systems we will study complete, continuous GHG budgets (H2O, CO2, CH4, N2O, NH3) from 3 pairs of organic agricultural fields with contrasting peat layer depth and cultivation. This will shed new light on the climate impact of cultivated organic soils and the importance of site-specific conditions and management. High time resolution enables process studies to reveal key parameters and mechanisms that control GHG fluxes in the soil-plant-atmosphere system, which will significantly improve simulation models. This will notably improve GHG reporting, climate modeling, and the base for mitigation strategies.
Med konventionell mätteknik är det praktiskt taget omöjligt att mäta fullständiga växthusgasbudgetar från dränerad organogen mark, vilket kan ge missledande resultat. Därför baseras globala skattningar av växthusgasutsläpp idag på grova antaganden som inte tar hänsyn till agro-ekosystemens komplexitet. Bättre data behövs för evidensbaserad klimatpolitik. Genom nyutvecklade Relaxed Eddy Accumulation (REA) system kommer vi under 3 år att studera fullständiga, kontinuerliga växthusgasbudgetar (H2O, CO2, CH4, N2O, NH3) av 3 par av organogena åkrar som skiljer sig avsevärt m.a.p. torvlager och odling. Detta ger nya insikter i klimateffekterna av jordbruk på organogen jord. Hög tidsupplösning möjliggör även processtudier som avslöjar nyckelmekanismer och parametrar som styr växthusgasflöden i mark-växt-atmosfärssystemet. Detta förbättrar simulationsmodeller och därmed växthusgasrapportering, klimatmodellering, och beslutsunderlag för klimatåtgärder.

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

A few years ago, media reported on a 7 year-old girl who was killed during a riding lesson. The accident evokes questions about children, horses and safety. Children are small and horses big, and the horse is a herd and prey animal whose behaviour is partly controlled by instincts. Today, many …

Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an …

Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several …
