1. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. LÄS MER
2. 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.

3. The effects of the exploiters (non-pollinating insects) on mutualistic interactions between the plant and its pollinator
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiSammanfattning : Mutualistic interactions between, for example, plants and pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystems, while non-pollinating insects (exploiters) that exploit plants are commonly thought to have destabilizing effects. The long-term, i.e. LÄS MER
4. MOUNTAIN ROADS AND THE HOMOGENIZATION OF PLANTS. A study on plant communities and their traits along the elevational gradient.
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : Overexploitation, land use, and other anthropogenic disturbances have increased in recent years, and are expected to increase even further. A very common anthropogenic disturbance, that can be seen even as far as in mountain regions, is roads. LÄS MER
5. 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 miljövetenskapSammanfattning : 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
