  1. 6. Differences in forest characteristics between potential green infrastructure areas and other forest areas in the south of Sweden - A study of indicators of forest quality for conservation

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Författare :Ida Bronner Thelin; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Valuable forest areas; green infrastructure; south of Sweden; deadwood; tree species cover; biodiversity conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is today rapidly decreasing, and one of the main threats is land use intensification in forest landscapes. By improving the forest quality in the surrounding landscape of protected areas, the level of biodiversity could increase, and green infrastructure areas have been proposed as a method in Sweden.

  3. 7. A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests

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

    Författare :Julika Wolf; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; drought impacts; old-growth forests; forest management; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Gynnas talgoxens häckningsframgång av gallring i barrskogen? : en experimentell studie om anpassad skogsgallring

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Angelia Ellvin; [2020]
    Nyckelord :talgoxe; häckningsframgång; boreal skog; gallring; undervegetation;

    Sammanfattning : Skogsbruket orsakar strukturella förändringar som hotar biologisk mångfald världen över, men industrin är samtidigt nödvändig för samhället. Speciellt undervegetationen försvinner ofta vid låggallring (CT), som är den dominerande gallringsmetoden i bl.a. Skandinavien, Baltikum och Ryssland. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Reindeer induced changes in vegetation composition and plant traits on a tundra-forest border

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

    Författare :Femke Pijcke; [2019]
    Nyckelord :physical geography; ecosystem analysis; plant functional traits; nutrient allocation; grazing; reindeer; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) are the most common large herbivores in the arctic. With a habitat spreading over the entire circumpolar region, they can have a substantial effect on plant species composition and ecosystem processes and functions. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Using camera traps to compare the habitat choice of different deer species in hunting versus non-hunting season

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

    Författare :Laura Juvany Canovas; [2019]
    Nyckelord :ungulates; camera trapping; occupancy modelling;

    Sammanfattning : A general increase in ungulate populations calls for a better understanding of their habitat use and movement at small spatial scales. This understanding is necessary for the development of useful management actions to solve possible human-wildlife conflicts. One proposed management action is to use the indirect effects of hunting.
