16. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.

17. INDIVIDUAL TRAIT MATCHING OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS) AND FLOWERS ALONG AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Insect pollinators serve a critical role in maintaining plant biodiversity and are especially susceptible to changes within their environment. To study the possible effects of seasonal variation in temperature, as well as climatic temperature increase on the plant-pollinator community, the relationship between bumblebee and flowering plant traits along an elevational gradient, representing warming-induced changes in plant community, were examined.

18. Effects of management and plant traits on tree-related microhabitats in second-growth stands of the Białowieża Forest
Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research CentreSammanfattning : The study presents research conducted on Tree-related Microhabitats (TreM) in managed stands and nearly unmanaged stands in the Białowieża Forest (BF). A TreM is an above-ground structure that creates substrate, site or place for forest-dwelling species, and could be an important tool for assessing the level of biodiversity. LÄS MER
19. Födovalspreferenser hos en arktisk specialist : vad föredrar Gynaephora groenlandica (Lepidoptera:Erebidae) att äta på Wrangelön?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : The Arctic tundra has many unexplored areas. Due to the harsh climate and the difficult accessibility, there is a lack of knowledge about the different species that live under these circumstances. Herbivores in this environment have a large effect on the plant community, one of these is the moth butterfly larva Gynaephora groenlandica. LÄS MER
20. Assessing the effect of Fusarium graminearum inoculation on the root structure of Swedish winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologySammanfattning : Several diseases attack the wheat crop and reduce the yield, such as root disease, which causes a tremendous loss in wheat production. Root rot has a variety of causal agents, such as nematodes, viruses, and bacteria, but the most common pathogens causing wheat root rot are oomycetes and fungi. LÄS MER
