  1. 1. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING

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

    Författare :Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
    Nyckelord :heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

    Sammanfattning : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Demographic equilibrium modelling of single tree selection stands in Siljansfors : judging the sustainability of single tree selection systems in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Ludwig Olofsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :CCF; continuous cover forestry; single tree selection; equilibrium models; forestry;

    Sammanfattning : Lately debates have occurred questioning the rotation system, which is the most used silvicultural system in Sweden. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has therefore been suggested as an alternative management method, due to its environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and higher resilience against extreme weather which is important with the current climate change.

  4. 3. Population dynamics of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in forest conservation areas and the interaction with biodiversity and natural enemies

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Evelina Andersson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :spruce bark beetle; population dynamics; conservation areas; biodiversity; natural enemies; species richness; managed forests; woodland key-habitats; nature reserves;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is rapidly decreasing and in need of more conservation efforts. However, the tree-killing European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.), has made forest conservation controversial by affecting conservation areas and possibly adjoining managed forests, yet is still a keystone species leaving decaying wood promoting biodiversity.

  5. 4. Differences and similarities in stand characteristics after prescribed burning and wildfire : implications for conservation of forest biodiversity

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Hannah Sophie Jakob; [2023]
    Nyckelord :coarse woody debris; conservation; biodiversity; boreal forest; Daldinia loculata; Fennoscandia; prescribed burning; regeneration; wildfire; woodpecker;

    Sammanfattning : 1. Wildfires are a natural disturbance in the boreal forests of Fennoscandia and have shaped and formed forests in the past, resulting in very heterogeneous forests containing large amounts of dead and living trees in various age classes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe

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

    Författare :Carl Holmquist; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; LPJ-GUESS; drought; sensitivity analysis; evapotranspiration; gross primary production; hydraulic parameters; boreal forest.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. LÄS MER
