  1. 1. Betesmönster hos älg (Alces alces) vintertid i fjällnära skog : En studie av födoval i relation till trädslagssammansättning och habitat

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

    Författare :Ella Hambeson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Food choice; Alces alces; forested mountainous terrain; winter diet; selection; Betesval; Alces alces; fjällnära skog; vinterföda; selektion;

    Sammanfattning : Browsing patterns in large herbivorous mammals are complex and decisions regarding food items occur at different levels depending on internal or external factors such as energy requirements and available food sources. A broader understanding of the behavior of animals living in habitats of economic interests for humans enables human exploitation with as little impact as possible on the animals' habitats. LÄS MER

  3. 2. How do stand composition and cervid densities influence the forest floor vegetation in a multi-cervid species context?

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

    Författare :Clémentine Leemans; [2021]
    Nyckelord :alces; cerus elaphus; dama; capreolus; cervid; vaccinium; myrtillus; pinus sylvestris; picea abies; browsing; forest floor cover;

    Sammanfattning : The cover of forest floor vascular plants has been decreasing in Sweden over recent decades. Cervid rely heavily on this vegetation for food. With this study, I showed that habitat type highly influences the quality and quantity of the forest floor vegetation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Påverkas betesskador i unga tallbestånd av mängden risväxter i området?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Författare :Tove Åhsberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Browsing damage; Ericaceous shrubs; Scots pine; Moose; Betesskador; Risväxter; Tall; Älg;

    Sammanfattning : Flera markägare upplever att deras tallungskogar blir nedbetade av älgen. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och utvärdera om betesskador och betestryck i tallungskog var högre, i områden med liten andel risväxter. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The effect of forestry and cervid densities on annual growth of ericaceous shrub species

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Alina Sayn; [2021]
    Nyckelord :production forest; conifer; silviculture; plant-animal interaction; forest management; ungulate;

    Sammanfattning : Ericaceous shrubs, such as bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), cowberry (V. vitis-idaea), and heather (Calluna vulgaris), dominate the understory in Swedish forests. Their important role of providing forage for wild deer is well established. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Autumn water sources for understory vegetation and fungi in a boreal forest : an evaluation using stable isotopes

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Javier Segura; [2013]
    Nyckelord :Ericaceous shrubs; fungi; Pinus sylvestris; rain event; soil profile; water stable isotopes;

    Sammanfattning : Understory vegetation and fungi are regarded as important ecological drivers of processes like productivity and nutrient cycling in boreal forests. Whilst those processes are linked to soil water content, relatively little is known about the sources of soil water for these forest components. LÄS MER
