1. Tritrophic interactions with Silphium integrifolium at the axis : elucidating the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species on plant phenotype
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection BiologySammanfattning : A fundamental understanding of the intricate interactions between crops and their environment may help guide the development of ecologically intensified agriculture. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that can increase a plant’s access to soil resources and have been found to reprogram plant defensive mechanisms, potentially influencing the performance of plant antagonists.

2. “What’s the buzz with bilberries?” – Bilberry pollinator community structure and function in relation to forest type and habitat structure
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiSammanfattning : Over the last century, Swedish forests have undergone rapid land-use change due to intensification of management practices for timber production and the introduction of monocultures, which have resulted in considerable habitat loss and negative impacts to biodiversity. Insects form a significant component of forest biodiversity, yet forest-dwelling pollinators remain understudied, and little is known about how management strategies affect forest insect pollinator communities.

3. Could horse grazing be used to restore abandoned fields? : a comparison of the vegetation between horse pastures and abandoned fields, and an inventory of the effects of grazing- history and intensity
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : Semi-natural fields, created by traditional land-use systems like low-intensity cattle grazing, have high ecological value due to the occurrence of numerous plant species, and their associated faunal communities. In Sweden, this habitat is threatened by both land-abandonment and agricultural intensification. LÄS MER
4. Community voices against neo-extractivist projects. An analysis of the discourses surrounding fracking in La Huasteca Potosina, Mexico
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/HumanekologiSammanfattning : In 2013, the previous Mexican federal government passed a constitutional reform of the energy sector that set the grounds for the use of fracking at a national scale. Less than two years later, a strategic policy document was published, mapping a whole set of areas whose deposits require the use of fracking to be exploited. LÄS MER
5. The Swedish policy framework for Forest Ecosystem Services : a study of integration of objectives, policy instruments and local actor’s knowledge about policies and policy objectives
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest EconomicsSammanfattning : Paper 1 There is a trend towards intensification of forest use in many European countries, fuelled by an increased demand for forest products and services, driven by the global population, income growth and an increasing per capita consumption of forest products and forest ecosystem services, and politically promoted by a shift towards a bio-based economy. Based on the assumption that decisions on forest management relate to synergies—e. LÄS MER
