Aggregatstabilitet i jord med ulike nivåer av plantetilgjengelig fosfor
Båtnes, Maria (Master thesis, 2021)Aggregatstabilitet brukes som et mål for å vurdere en jords strukturelle kvalitet. Det er viktig å opprettholde høy aggregatstabilitet for å bevare jordens produktivitet, minimere jorderosjon og miljøforurensing som følge ... -
Biogas digestates based on lignin-rich feedstock - potential as fertilizer and soil amendment
Eich-Greatorex, Susanne; Vivekanand, Vivekanand; Rego, Maria Magdalena Estevez; Schnürer, Anna; Børresen, Trond; Sogn, Trine Aulstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Environmental impact of fertilization with biogas digestates : studies of inorganic and organic contaminants
Dragicevic, Ivan (PhD thesis;2018:78, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Sustainable and safe energy and food production are important issues affected by climate change. Biogas production is among the technologies with a potential to reduce negative effects on the environment that increased ... -
Fertilization strategies for peas (Pisum sativum L.) in a growing medium simulating Mars regolith
Monarcha, Marc (Master thesis, 2020)In 2011, Andy Weir published the thought-provoking novel “The Martian”, in which a fictional astronaut, Mark Whatney gets left behind on Mars where in order to survive, he must find a way to grow food. As of March 2020, ... -
Novel organic contaminants in recycled organic waste and their fate in a mushroom production system
Nesse, Astrid Solvåg (PhD thesis;2024:3, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Biogas production is a common treatment method for organic waste in Norway. The waste is anaerobically degraded, to stabilize the waste and to produce renewable energy (biogas). Most of the nutrients in the waste are ... -
On-site treatment options for recovery of nutrients in dry toilets
Kelova, Mariya Evgenieva (PhD Thesis;2022:48, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Animal and human excreta had a major role in the development of agriculture in the past, but their role was lost with the development of the modern waterborne sanitation and inorganic fertilizers. To re-envision human ... -
Organic contaminants of emerging concern in Norwegian digestates from biogas production
Ali, Aasim Musa Mohamed; Nesse, Astrid Solvåg; Eich-Greatorex, Susanne; Sogn, Trine Aulstad; Aanrud, Stine Göransson; Bunæs, John Ansgar Aasen; Lyche, Jan Ludvig; Kallenborn, Roland (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The aim of this study was to analyze a variety of environmental organic contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) and their metabolites in representative digestate samples from Norwegian biogas production plants. Biogas ... -
Preliminary assessment of the knowledge gaps to conserve and increase soil organic carbon stocks
Almås, Åsgeir R.; Eich-Greatorex, Susanne; Tomasgaard, Trine Aulstad Sogn; Mulder, Jan; Pandey, Manoj Kumar; Dauby, Vincent; Powlson, David; Farina, Roberta; Watte, Jeroen; Rasse, Daniel (Journal article, 2024)The main objective of this scoping document, is to deliver an overall roadmap for the EU commission, targeting the soil mission objective “conserving and increasing soil organic carbon stocks”. The objective addresses the ... -
Recycling of biogas digestates in plant production: NPK fertilizer value and risk of leaching
Sogn, Trine Aulstad; Dragicevic, Ivan; Linjordet, Roar; Krogstad, Tore; Eijsink, Vincent; Eich-Greatorex, Susanne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose The main purposes of the study were to assess the NPK fertilizer value of biogas digestates in different soils and to evaluate the risk of unwanted nutrient leaching. Methods The fertilizer value of digestates from ... -
Rhizosphere Organic Anions Play a Minor Role in Improving Crop Species' Ability to Take Up Residual Phosphorus (P) in Agricultural Soils Low in P Availability
Hallama, Moritz; Clarke, Nicholas; Clarke, Jihong; Eich-Greatorex, Susanne; Wang, Yanliang; Kandeler, Ellen; Krogstad, Tore; Øgaard, Anne K. Falk (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Many arable lands have accumulated large reserves of residual phosphorus (P) and a relatively large proportion of soil P is less available for uptake by plants. Root released organic anions are widely documented as a key ... -
Small-scale on-site treatment of fecal matter: comparison of treatments for resource recovery and sanitization
Kelova, Mariya Evgenieva; Ali, Aasim Musa Mohamed; Eich-Greatorex, Susanne; Dörsch, Peter; Kallenborn, Roland; Jenssen, Petter D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)On-site small-scale sanitation is common in rural areas and areas without infrastructure, but the treatment of the collected fecal matter can be inefficient and is seldom directed to resource recovery. The aim of this study ... -
Strategies for increasing sustainability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production : effect of composts, rotation and biofertilizers
Bezabeh, Merkeb Woldu (PhD Thesis;2023:21, Doctoral thesis, 2023)An increasing human population poses extraordinary challenges on agricultural production. Feeding an estimated 10 billion people by 2050 requires more food with good nutritious value. Synthetic fertilizers and herbicides ... -
Subsoil nitrogen utilization and N₂O formation in Norwegian grass-clover forage systems
Byers, Erin Elizabeth (PhD thesis;2023:7, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Value creation in Norwegian agriculture is primarily based on milk and meat production, which depend in part on perennial grassland-based forage production. Roughly 60% of the fully cultivated land in Norway is used for ... -
Testing a new methodology for measuring aggregate stability
Brown, Thomas Julseth (Master thesis, 2021)Soil aggregate stability is an important measure of a soils’ physical and structural condition. Good aggregate stability is paramount in order to sustain crop productivity, limit soil erosion and promote healthy and ...
