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 StudiesSammanfattning : 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
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 miljövetenskapSammanfattning : 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
3. Beetle Diversity – Land Sparing or Land Sharing? : the effects of timber extraction and restoration method on saproxylic beetle assemblages in mature managed pine forests
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : The impoverishment of saproxylic beetle communities is a growing concern for management of boreal forest biodiversity. Past research has found active restoration methods, such as creating deadwood and conducting prescribed burnings, to have a short-term positive effect on the species richness and compositional diversity of saproxylic beetle assemblages.

4. Increased carbon sequestration of actively restored tropical forests in Sabah, Malaysia : a comparison of natural regeneration and active restoration
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : As restoration with assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting becomes a more important and popular method to restore ecosystem services and mitigate negative climate effects, these treatments and their effectiveness is heavily debated. There are three main groups of opinions regarding restoration, one is that humans actively need to help nature recover and the second is that nature itself does a better job without our help and the third is somewhere in between.

5. Differences and similarities in stand characteristics after prescribed burning and wildfire : implications for conservation of forest biodiversity
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : 1. Wildfires are a natural disturbance in the boreal forests of Fennoscandia and have shaped and formed forests in the past, resulting in very heterogeneous forests containing large amounts of dead and living trees in various age classes.
