  1. 1. Mängden död ved i värdekärnor i Söderåsens nationalpark

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Gustav Thurell; [2024]
    Nyckelord :volym död ved; stående död ved; liggande död ved; bokskog; nedbrytningsgrad; värdekärna;

    Sammanfattning : There is a lack of knowledge about the development of the dead wood in former production beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests that have been protected. The present study has been carried out in Söderåsen National Park to compare the distribution of dead wood in relatively unaffected beech forests that have been protected for a long time (A-value cores) and older, previously managed beech forest that has only been protected for 20-30 years (B-value cores).

  3. 2. Effects of climate, soil, and forest structure on specific leaf area of understorey foundation plants

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Sashank Khaniya; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Specific leaf area; understorey vegetation; foundation species; forest structure; climate change;

    Sammanfattning : Forest overstorey's interaction with understorey vegetation is a crucial aspect that impacts the biodiversity and resilience of forest ecosystems. Particularly, the influence of the overstorey on the specific leaf area (SLA) in understorey plants remains poorly understood. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Elis Ingvarsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :old growth forest; boreal; soil organic carbon stocks; climate gradient;

    Sammanfattning : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Ectomycorrhizal fungi community shift along gradient from forest to clearcut : two field seasons after harvest of old growth Scots pine forests

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Författare :Linda Johannesson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :biodiversity; ectomycorrhiza; retention trees; ; fungi; clearcutting;

    Sammanfattning : It is known that the number of ECM decline and the community composition is altered by clearcutting. This study aims to investigate impacts at a more detailed scale. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of clear-cut logging on five old-growth forest bryophyte species. : How does the most common forestry method in Sweden impact vulnerable forest specialists?

    Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Författare :Nathalie Edwards; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Bryophytes; old-growth forests; forestry; nature conservation; sustainable forestry; mossor; gammelskog; skogsbruk; naturvård; hållbart skogsbruk;

    Sammanfattning : Clear-cut logging is the most widely practised forestry method in Sweden. This often conflicts with nature conservation and leads to issues where economic interests are pitted against ecological values. LÄS MER
