  1. 1. Effects of climate, soil, and forest structure on specific leaf area of understorey foundation plants

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Sashank Khaniya; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Specific leaf area; understorey vegetation; foundation species; forest structure; climate change;

    Sammanfattning : Forest overstorey's interaction with understorey vegetation is a crucial aspect that impacts the biodiversity and resilience of forest ecosystems. Particularly, the influence of the overstorey on the specific leaf area (SLA) in understorey plants remains poorly understood. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Estimation of Site-Specific Biomass and Leaf Area Index in a Young Scots pine Stand in Southern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Olamide Michael Adu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Scots pine; Biomass estimation; Leaf area index; Model validation; Site-specific models;

    Sammanfattning : Accurate biomass and leaf area index (LAI) estimation are crucial for understanding forest productivity and carbon dynamics. Models are crucial to estimating forest biomass and LAI. This study aimed to estimate site-specific aboveground biomass and LAI in a young Scots pine stand in southern Sweden. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Seasonal variation of LAI in Swedish coniferous forest

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

    Författare :Ilia Mastepanov; [2023]
    Nyckelord :leaf area index; LAI; PAR; forest; coniferous forest; Hyltemossa; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Leaf Area Index (LAI) is quantity representing the amount of foliage in the canopy, which makes it an important parameter for analysing terrestrial ecosystems. Traditional methods of measuring LAI were done by analysing hemispherical photographs by hand and were very time consuming, requiring specific weather conditions (Jonckheere et al. 2004). LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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

  7. 5. Peatland restoration: A mossy affair? : The similarities of the vegetation communitiesbetween restored bogs and natural bogs.

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Liesbeth van Ravenhorst; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Wetland; peatland; bog; vegetation composition; plant functional trait; environmental variable;

    Sammanfattning : Peatlands function as important global carbon sinks as peatlands store 30% to 40% of the total soil carbon even though peatlands only cover 3% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. However, drainage activities have damaged the ecosystem and caused many peatlands to function as carbon sources instead. LÄS MER
