  1. 1. Vedlevande skalbaggar 10–20 år efter brand i tallskog : en jämförelse mellan hällmark och produktiv mark

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

    Författare :KajsaLisa Olsson; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Tallimpediment; biologisk mångfald; vedlevande skalbaggar; naturvårdsbränning; Pinus sylvestris;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish boreal forests have changed drastically in the last century. Intensive forestry with clear-cuttings and fire-prevention, cause a lack in dead wood diversity and volume. The current research on forests mainly focuses on productive forests and there is a knowledge gap regarding the importance of low-productive forest for biodiversity. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

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

    Författare :Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
    Nyckelord :fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

    Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Feasibility of reintroduction of European Bison (Bison bonasus) to Sweden with focus on traffic accidents

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Michael Topszewski; [2023]
    Nyckelord :wildlife-vehicle collision; risk prediction; reintroduction feasibility; european bison; Bison bonasus; moose; Alces alces; Human-wildlife conflict;

    Sammanfattning : The historical occurrence of European bison (Bison bonasus) in Sweden during the early Holocene emphasizes the ecological significance for a potential reintroduction. The European bison, the largest herbivore on the European continent, is a keystone species with a significant influence on ecosystem dynamics. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evaluating forest restoration effects on timing of avian dawn chorus in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar

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

    Författare :Marjolein Pijper; [2023]
    Nyckelord :acoustic monitoring; forest restoration; dawn chorus; avian singing; bird monitoring; automatic recognition;

    Sammanfattning : Monitoring of forest restoration efforts is essential to ensure healthy, self-sustaining tropical rainforests. Passive acoustic monitoring is used to monitor vocal activity of birds, which play a key role in forest ecosystems as seed dispersers. LÄS MER
