Postdoc Cecilie Hermansen and Postdoc Johannes Lund Jensen receive H.C. Ørsted Research Talent Award 2022 for their research in the interaction between soil, environment and climate and carbon storage in cultivated soil and potential for climate adaptation.

It turns out that the headland and wheel tracks are some of the biggest climate polluters in the field. In a new study, areas with densely packed soil were found to emit between 1.3 and 42 times as much nitrous oxide as areas without soil compaction.

A new ERA-NET project (MI BICYCLE) will explore how to use biomass and bioproducts from circular farming systems, consisting of both livestock and crop production, in a way that can not only help mitigate climate change, but also be sustainable for the farmer, the environment and society at large.

During his PhD studies, Jorge Federico Miranda Vélez investigated different soil processes and properties that take part in the phenomenon of nitrogen (N) leaching in agriculture

Acidification of slurry in the barn or at the time of application can reduce ammonia losses. Acidification of manure with sulphuric acid is a common practice on Danish livestock farms. Previous trials have shown that methane emissions are also significantly reduced when manure is acidified. A new study has investigated the relationship between acid dose and emissions of methane and ammonia, as well as odour. The results suggest that low-dose acidification may be a new and cost-effective climate change mitigation tool.
