Specialised (PhD) in soil science and soil management. My research focus has been on nutrient turnover in the crop-soil-water system, nutrient leaching from agricultural land to waters, as well as on soil fertility and soil carbon sequestration (carbon storage in the soil). I have a broad experience from planning and leading field experiments within crop production. My current position at RISE involves topics like sustainable management of animal manure and evaluation of society rest products from an agricultural perspective.

GYPREG - reduce nutrient leaching from agricultural lands with gypsum

To reduce eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, rivers, and lakes, and to decrease the need for fertilization, new methods are needed to prevent nutrient leaching from agricultural land. Trials in Finland have shown that the addition …

Circular Nutrients for a sustainable Baltic Sea Region The project aims to encourage the creation and development of a circular economy for nutrients. The emphasis is on improving current infrastructures and technologies to maximi…

DemoField for Controlled Drainage

A major challenge facing agriculture is handling water excess and deficit exacerbated by climate change, while reducing eutrophication. Controlled drainage (CD) has the potential to address these issues and improve yield stability…

Digestion of poultry manure, deep litter manure, horse manure

Solid manure is a poorly used resource in Sweden but by anaerobic digestion this can be change. It has the potential to contribute with 1 TWh biogas/year. Furthermore, nitrogen is largely in organically bound form but by digestion…

Cultivation tests

Do you have a residual product from any type of process that you think could be used as a fertiliser or growing medium in food production? RISE offer a test environment where recycled products are evaluated in crop experiments.

Agricultural water management

Agriculture is an intensive user of water - a finite and vulnerable resource. Through agricultural water management we secure food production even under extreme weather conditions, and at the same time minimize the impact on the e…

Sustainable manure management

A resource efficient management of animal manures and other organic residues creates precious plant nutrients and an environmentally friendly agriculture. RISE develops technology and strategies for manure management with the aim …

Technology and methodology in sustainable crop production

How do you produce enough food to feed a growing population in a changing world – while making agriculture sustainable from an environmental, soil health, economic and social perspective? At RISE, we work with several aspects of s…
