  1. 1. Intercropping oats with annual clovers : effects on yields and aspects of biodiversity

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Anna Douhan Sundahl; [2021]
    Nyckelord :intercropping; cover cropping; pollinators; natural predators; weeds; clover; oats;

  2. 2. Extended phenotypes in the canopies of Norway spruce

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Christofer Johansson; [2016]
    Nyckelord :extended phenotypes; Cinara spp.; Picea abies; associated organisms; C:N ratio; growth rate; aphid abundance;

    Sammanfattning : The extended phenotype may help us understand how genetically determined trait variation in foundation species can influence associated organisms. Today, there is no existing demonstration of how genetically determined trait variation in Norway spruce (Picea abies) may affect associated organisms in tree canopies. LÄS MER
