1. 1. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : August Hedberg; Julian Säflund; [2023]
   Keywords : primary succession; succession; ectomycorrhiza; saprotroph; tree growth; Pinus sylvestris; soil fungi;

   Abstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE

3. 2. The Impact of Human Presence on Terrestrial Mammals in Secondary Regenerating Forest of the Peruvian Amazon

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Duncan Pandya; [2023]
   Keywords : Neotropics; camera traps; terrestrial mammals; human presence; species richness; diversity index;

   Abstract : Human disturbance is becoming an ever-bigger threat to biodiversity across the globe and should continue to be a field of conservation priority. Urbanisation, research and tourism put unavoidable pressure on the surrounding flora and fauna, therefore we need to gain knowledge on how to reduce future harm. READ MORE

   Keywords : microbial ecology; active layer soils; bacteria; fungi; permafrost system; amplicon-sequencing; QIIME2; FUN-guild; ; greenhouse gas fluxes; fluorogenic enzyme as-says;

   Abstract : Permafrost affected soils are a vast pool of Carbon, storing around 1300Pg below the ground. As a result of climate change, permafrost soils that have been frozen for thousands of years are thawing, causing the ancient organic matter to be metabolised by microorgan-isms. READ MORE
