  1. 1. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the spatial ecology of moose in an area with high recreational activity

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Maximilian Dörr; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Moose; Alces alces; habitat selection; tourism; human disturbance; activity; movement; speed; seasons; Covid-19; pandemic;

    Sammanfattning : In diverse landscapes, the coexistence of wildlife habitat requirements and human land use often leads to conflicts, posing challenges for sustainable species management. Recreational activities, especially in sparsely populated areas, frequently disturb wildlife behavior, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic impacts on habitats. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Non-native plants in mountain ecosystems. An exploration of plant diversity and its response to road disturbance and alien invasion.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Anderberg Lina; [2023-10-19]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding patterns of invasive plants becomes ever more important as anthropogenic presence continues to facilitate their spread. In mountainous landscapes, cases of establishment by nonnative species have become frequent, despite the environmentally unfavorable conditions for plants less adapted to the harsh climate. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Effects of Climate Change on Zirben (Pinus cembra) Distribution in the Italian Alps

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Nicholas Asplin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Pinus Cembra; Tree line; Tree line shift; Alps; Climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic climate change has caused temperature increases all across the globe. Mountainous areas are among the most affected and are experiencing alarming rates of warming. Such rapid warming will have effects on alpine vegetation and their distribution throughout the alps. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Betydelsen av urbana bostadsgårdars ålder för dess artrikedom av inhemska örtartade växter och förekomst av fåglar

    Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Författare :Anna Grimlycke; [2023]
    Nyckelord :urbanization; species richness; survey; native species; herbaceous plants; birds; residential yard; urbanisering; artrikedom; inventering; inhemska arter; örtartade växter; fåglar; bostadsgård;

    Sammanfattning : Life on Earth is currently experiencing a sixth species extinction, where urbanization, as one of the main driving forces, fragments and causes losses of near-urban habitats. At the same time, a rich variety of habitats can be found in urban landscapes that may harbour biodiversity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. MOUNTAIN ROADS AND THE HOMOGENIZATION OF PLANTS. A study on plant communities and their traits along the elevational gradient.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Violetta Chernoray; [2022-09-28]
    Nyckelord :anthropogenic disturbance; spatial ecology; Northern Scandes; functional traits; roadsides; beta-diversity.;

    Sammanfattning : Overexploitation, land use, and other anthropogenic disturbances have increased in recent years, and are expected to increase even further. A very common anthropogenic disturbance, that can be seen even as far as in mountain regions, is roads. LÄS MER
