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 ManagementSammanfattning : 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.

2. Dynamic minimum flows in the bypass reach of Juktån : A post-implementation evaluation of the effects on riparian vegetation
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the effects of the restoration efforts in Juktån on the plant species richness and composition, vegetation zonation and soil composition. The restoration involved implementation of a dynamic flow, in addition to hydro-geomorphological alterations. LÄS MER
3. Consequences of alternative forest management in riparian buffer zones : a GIS analysis
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : With increasing pressure from policymakers and the general public to conduct alternative forest management throughout the European Union (EU), Sweden needs to find ways to best prioritize the implementation of this alternative management. Alternative management is a term used to describe alternative management methods to clear-cut rotation forestry and can include silvicultural methods such as continuous cover forestry, management increasing proportion tree diversity and presence of broadleaves, and extended rotation lengths.

4. Turning Night into Day : Does Skyglow affect Bat Activity and Timing of Emergence?
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : Artificial brightness of the night sky caused by the backscatter of artificial light in the atmosphere is a consequence of ongoing urbanization. Skyglow covers 88 % of Europe’s surface and poses significant threats to biodiversity. Extensive research on responses of bats to direct light pollution already revealed significant impacts. LÄS MER
5. Major forest companies and owner associations interpretation of policies and certification programs regarding riparian buffer zones
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : Human intervention in forests such as clearcut forestry have a negative impact on water quality and biodiversity. To maintain water quality and its biological values a commonly used method is to leave trees and shrubs closest to the water, in so called a buffer zone. LÄS MER
