  1. 1. Riparian vegetation ecology : an observational study into the effects of forest management on understory vegetation communities along boreal headwaters

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

    Författare :Ruben Jonathan Baan Hofman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :riparian forest; forest management; understory vegetation; headwater streams; community ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Riparian forests along headwater streams have long been recognized for their role as an interface between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. The over- and understory vegetation performs essential ecological and biochemical functions, which are important for stream functions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Mark Van der Keijl; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Temperature buffering; forest microclimate; soil moisture; canopy cover; forest management; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Recent expansion of the endangered beetle Plagionotus detritus in the greater Stockholm area

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Elin Lönnberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is declining worldwide, and the biggest reason for this is habitat destruction. In Sweden one third of all the red listed species belongs in broadleaved deciduous forests. The  most common reason for the endangerment of these species is the destruction of the deciduous forest.

  5. 4. How do forest characteristics relate to brown bear (Ursus arctos) density? : focusing on basal area, age, height, and field layer

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

    Författare :Jeanette Jonsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :brown bear; ursus arctos; linear mixed model; forest characteristics; bear density;

    Sammanfattning : Brown bear (Ursus arctos) is one of our most common large carnivores. The historic population in Sweden has been reduced due to conflicts with humans. The diet of the brown bear varies with the season and location. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Combined Influences of Canopy Openness, Browsing Protection, and Low Intensity Fire on the Natural Regeneration of Oak in Southern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Benjamin Miles; [2022]
    Nyckelord :burn; browsing; disturbance; fire; light; oak; Q.robur; Q.petraea; ungulates;

    Sammanfattning : Whilst oak was historically prevalent in the landscape of temperate Europe, changes in the disturbance regime of forests have led to limited regeneration across its distribution. In this study, the fire oak hypothesis is tested to assess the tolerance of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea recruits (seedlings and saplings) to a low intensity burn, and how this response may differ depending on the presence of browsing and canopy openness.
