  1. 21. 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

  3. 22. Tree growth and field vegetation in forest edge zones on a property in southeast Sweden

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Författare :Pieter van Tongeren; [2023]
    Nyckelord :tree growth; diversity; field vegetation; edge zones; edge effect;

    Sammanfattning : Summary  In the 1990s a new way of thinking about forestry started. One of the effects of the changing silvicultural practices was that the size of clearcuts became smaller. As the felling areas were reduced in size, the areas where young and older forest meet grew, with this also the occurrence of edge zones increased. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Effect of tree age on masting signal in tree-ring chronologies of beech in southern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Jeppe Van Der Lee; [2023]
    Nyckelord :beech; masting; masting signal; proxy; tree-ring chronologies; age; dominance; social position; southern Sweden; climate change; tree growth; regeneration success;

    Sammanfattning : Masting is a synchronous and highly variable production of seeds in tree species. Masting may reflect a reproduction strategy to cope with seed predation. In beech, temperature is the cue controlling annual variability in seeding. Masting behaviour in beech typically begins around the age of 40 years. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Comparison of native and introduced tree species in a range from low to high productivity sites in southern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Gailene Brazaityte; [2023]
    Nyckelord :introduced tree species; low productivity sites; moderate productivity sites; high productivity sites; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; Betula pendula; Picea glauca; Picea mariana; Picea sitchensis; Pinus contorta; Pseudotsuga menziesii; Abies grandis; Populus balsamifera; Larix x eurolepis; Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides;

    Sammanfattning : The dilemma of climate change, biodiversity conservation and economic efficiency in nowadays forestry leads us to search for the new solutions. Introduction of non-native tree species becomes a more frequently explored field as a solution for the future problems. LÄS MER

  7. 25. ARCTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES RISE WITH TEMPERATURE Plant functional traits as a tool to predict global climate change

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

    Författare :Helena Sundell; [2022-07-06]
    Nyckelord :Arctic warming; plant functional traits; Community Weighted Mean; vegetational changes; global climate change;

    Sammanfattning : Global warming occurs at a rate at least three-fold in the arctic regions compared to the rest of the world. Here, plant community functional traits were assessed in response to experimental warming in three arctic areas of Fennoscandia (Latnajajure, Abisko and Kilpisjärvi). LÄS MER
