  1. 1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting

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

    Författare :Rasmus Staaf; [2024]
    Nyckelord :artificial waterways; riparian zone; novel ecosystems; ; forestry; ditch network maintenance; species richness; hill-diversity; drainage ditches; coarse woody debris; ditch cleaning; ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

  3. 2. Reaching Food Security: The legislative challenges of Seed exchange in kind : a discourse analysis of the European Commission’s PRM proposal

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Författare :Anna Beskow; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Food Security; Food Sovereignty; European Commission; Seed exchange in kind; discourse analysis;

    Sammanfattning : On the 5th of July 2023, the European Commission presented a new Plant Reproductive Material directive with a general objective of ensuring high quality and diversity that contributes to food security, protects biodiversity, and restores forest ecosystems. The aims are to increase efficiency and promote and support mainly sustainable innovation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Marktäckets och markfuktighetens påverkan på blomsterlupinens (Lupinus polyphyllus) utbredning i Jämtland

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

    Författare :Julia Svedh; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Garden lupine; Lupinus polyphyllus; soil moisture; land cover; invasive alien species; Jämtland; ; Blomsterlupin; Lupinus polyphyllus; marktäcke; markfuktighet; invasiva främmande arter; Jämtland;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is the prerequisite for well-functioning ecosystem services that are crucial, like clean water and clean air. Invasive alien species (IAS) are a serious and long-term issue that is actively threatening the genetic diversity within ecosystems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Förekomst och spridning av hänglavar från äldre skogar till unga tidigare avverkade områden i Västerbottens inland

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

    Författare :Emma Maksimova; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Lichens; Dispersal; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; Epiphytic; Hair lichens; Alectoria; Bryoria; Usnea;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish forestry and the use of clearcutting models has resulted in great losses of older forests in Sweden, resulting in several species being affected negatively. Hair lichens are important organisms that are providing several ecological functions in forest ecosystems and are declining due to being associated with older forests with high continuity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

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

    Författare :Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER
