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

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

3. 7. Pepita de oro: How AlVelAl is building a regional regenerative agriculture transformation through social innovations

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Author : Elissa Dickson; [2023]
   Keywords : regenerative agriculture; Spain; sustainability transformation; social innovation; adaptive capacity; institutions; drylands;

   Abstract : Regenerative Agriculture (RA) is increasingly promoted as a sustainable agri-food solution. Agronomic studies find that RA practices (e.g. cover crops, reduced tillage, crop rotation, and agroforestry) can regulate soil moisture, sequester atmospheric carbon, enhance biodiversity, and reduce the impacts of droughts and floods.

5. 9. Correlation between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of reindeer pasture plants : Korrelation mellan Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) och smältbarhet av renbetesväxter i vomvätska in vitro (VOS)

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

   Author : Jannica Helmersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI; in vitro organic matter digestibility; IVOMD; VOS; caribou; Rangifer tarandus; reindeer pasture plants; drone;

   Abstract : Renen livnär sig på många olika betesväxter och den följer växtfenologins utveckling under barmarkssäsongen, vilket resulterar i högkvalitativt foderintag. Levande växtbiomassa kan uppskattas på landskapsnivå genom att använda vegetationsindex som värderar vegetation utifrån spektrala mätningar. READ MORE

6. 10. Exploring the factors affecting tree establishment after wildfire in a boreal forest in Sweden
