  1. 1. Att vårda ett levande kulturarv : värdering av skötselmetoder för gräs ur ett kulturarvs- och upplevelseperspektiv

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

    Författare :Thea Folke; [2021]
    Nyckelord :kulturarv; historisk trädgårdsskötsel; historisk trädgård; gräsmatta; upplevelsevärde;

    Sammanfattning : Arbetet syftar till att undersöka de olika skötselmetoder för gräs som finns att välja för en historisk trädgård samt om de utgör ett värdefullt kulturarv och/eller bidrar med ökade upplevelsevärden för trädgårdens besökare. Skötselmetoderna värderas utifrån aspekterna kulturarvsvärde, upplevelsevärde, buller och drivkraft. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The effect of the interplay between fire frequency and grassland structure on tick abundances in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa

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

    Författare :Thilo Heinecke; [2020]
    Nyckelord :ticks; acari; pyrodiversity; grassland structure; fire ecology; fire frequency; grazing lawn;

    Sammanfattning : Fire in ecology is a very variable factor and its effects are best described as a complex feedback system with other biotic and abiotic factors. These feedback systems need to be understood to enable generalized conclusions about the influence of fire regimes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Spatial and temporal variability in grassland structure associated with different densities of the white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) in a South African savanna

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

    Författare :Emilia Malmström; [2019]
    Nyckelord :white rhinoceros; african savanna; keystone species; herbivory; cascading effects; poaching;

    Sammanfattning : The direct and indirect relationships between species in different trophic levels are referred to as trophic dynamics and are important in maintaining the function of ecosystems. Megaherbivores may have effects both directly and indirectly on other species since their impact may be disproportionately large relative to their population size. LÄS MER

  5. 4. How does white rhino respond to fires during dry season?

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

    Författare :Tim Herkenrath; [2019]
    Nyckelord :white rhino; post-fire regrowth; habitat selection; African grazers; megaherbivore;

    Sammanfattning : The white rhino is a megaherbivore grazer that favours the short and nutrient-rich grass on grazing lawns. Since regrowth on lawns requires a certain amount of rainfall, the usage of this food resource is limited to the wet season. During the dry season, white rhinos are able to feed on senescent tall grass. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Grazing impacts on savanna vegetation states and its role in albedo changes

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

    Författare :Joana Fernandes; [2018]
    Nyckelord :albedo; grazing; grazing lawn; white rhino; shrub encroachment; Hluhluwe-iMfolozi;

    Sammanfattning : Albedo, i.e., the fraction of the incoming sunlight that a surface reflects, has been previously shown to play a key role on the climate system by influencing the energy balance of the Earth’s ecosystems. LÄS MER
