Kajsa Henryson defended her thesis on November 28th. The overall aim of the thesis was to contribute to the development of life cycle assessment methodology that better represents actual climate and marine eutrophication impacts of crop cultivation, focusing in particular on the impacts of mineral nitrogen fertiliser use.
The thesis can be found here: Modelling site-dependent environmental impacts of nitrogen fertiliser use in life cycle assessments of crop cultivation
The thesis includes three published papers, which can be found here (Open Access):
- Spatially differentiated midpoint indicator for marine eutrophication of waterborne emissions in Sweden
- Accounting for long-term soil fertility effects when assessing the climate impact of crop cultivation
- Environmental performance of crop cultivation at different sites and nitrogen rates in Sweden
