  1. 1. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
    Nyckelord :heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

    Sammanfattning : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Can urban tree re-inventories inform future species selection? : diameter at breast height as an indicator for tree performance in Malmö municipality’s tree database

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Författare :Hannah Kit Kraynick Braegelmann; [2023]
    Nyckelord :DBH; ; diameter at breast height; tree inventories; tree re-inventories; urban forestry; species selection; tree management;

    Sammanfattning : Using the inventory database of trees for Malmö municipality, Sweden, this study explored the potential of using the diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement in re-inventories, as a decision-making tool for species selection and management in urban forests. With the escalating pressures of urbanization and unpredictable climate change effects, there is an urgent need for urban forest managers to possess reliable tools that can facilitate the selection of resilient tree species capable of thriving in diverse and changing urban contexts.

  4. 3. Growth of Silver birch (Betula pendula) & Downy birch (Betula pubescens) established in four different initial densities on one site in central Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Edvards Romans; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Betula pendula; Betula pubescens; plantation; initial spacing; simulation; management;

    Sammanfattning : Nowadays, there is an increased demand for timber resources and more sustainable forest management, starting from the establishment phase of the forest, e.g., planting. Depending on the management goals, number of seedlings planted and thus initial spacing can be adjusted in order not to waste resources. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Kvävegödslingens effekter på bladyta och trädkronor i tallbestånd

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

    Författare :Carl Åhlund; [2023]
    Nyckelord :bladyteindex; tall; gödsling; trädkronor; barr lear area index; scots pine; fertilization; tree crowns; needles;

    Sammanfattning : Kvävegödsling är en produktionshöjande åtgärd som varit väl etablerad i Sverige genom åren. På grund av gödslingens miljöpåverkan och allmänt högre kunskap om gödsling så är skötselåtgärden inte lika frekvent utnyttjad som den var runt 70-talet. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Vitality of Sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) in southwest Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Karin Pershagen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :invasive species; climate adaptation; tree vitality; epiphytes; sooty bark disease;

    Sammanfattning : Non-native tree species provide alternatives for forestry that needs to adapt to climate change and multiple public demands. In Sweden, Sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) is a non-native tree species with potential, both in wood production and as a support to biodiversity in woodlands and in urban settings. LÄS MER
