  1. 1. 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.

  2. 2. Growth and quality of silver birch with different improvement levels

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Hanna Liebner; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Betula pendula Roth; genetic improvement; tree breeding; diameter growth; stem quality; branches quality;

    Sammanfattning : Silver birch is the most important broadleaf tree species in the context of wood production in Fennoscandia stating 12.9% of the total volume in Sweden (Nilsson et al., 2021). LÄS MER

  3. 3. Increased carbon sequestration of actively restored tropical forests in Sabah, Malaysia : a comparison of natural regeneration and active restoration

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

    Författare :Johan Engström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Degraded tropical forest; Active restoration; Carbon sequestration; Natural regeneration; Enrichment planting; Biomass accumulation;

    Sammanfattning : As restoration with assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting becomes a more important and popular method to restore ecosystem services and mitigate negative climate effects, these treatments and their effectiveness is heavily debated. There are three main groups of opinions regarding restoration, one is that humans actively need to help nature recover and the second is that nature itself does a better job without our help and the third is somewhere in between.

  4. 4. Effects of management and plant traits on tree-related microhabitats in second-growth stands of the Białowieża Forest

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Weronika Mysiak; [2022]
    Nyckelord :tree-related microhabitats; TreMs; Białowieża Forest; post-Century stands; second-growth forest;

    Sammanfattning : The study presents research conducted on Tree-related Microhabitats (TreM) in managed stands and nearly unmanaged stands in the Białowieża Forest (BF). A TreM is an above-ground structure that creates substrate, site or place for forest-dwelling species, and could be an important tool for assessing the level of biodiversity. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Advancing understanding of tropical forest carbon dynamics through improved allometric models for palms: A case study with Prestoea montana in Puerto

    Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Paschalis Chatzopoulos; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Above ground biomass; allometry; Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot; Palms;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical forests are major components of Earth’s carbon stocks, but their diversity and structural complexity pose major challenges for making accurate estimates of their above ground biomass (AGB). Palms, in particular, are prominent and unique components of many tropical forests that have anatomical and physiological differences from dicot trees which affect their height - diameter allometry and consequently, our ability to accurately estimate their AGB.
