  1. 1. Trends in mountain birch seed abundance and its relation to temperature and moth abundance: a ten-year study from Swedish Lapland

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Frida Gustafsson; [2023-02-09]
    Keywords : Betula pubescens; climate change; seed production; Epirrita autumnata; Operophtera brumata; subarctic ecology; folivory; larval abundance;

    Abstract : Boreal forest is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Being one of the most ubiquitous and coldtolerant tree species in Sweden, the mountain birch forms a unique deciduous treeline and marks the forest-tundra ecotone. READ MORE

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

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wild boar habitat selection in south-central Sweden's forested habitats : effects of season and time

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Bengt Arvid Norström; [2023]
    Keywords : wild boar; habitat selection; GLMM; Sweden;

    Abstract : How wild boar utilize space, interact, and affect its surroundings is critical for understanding their ecology. Wild boar populations have increased rapidly in Sweden and continue to expand its distributional range further north. READ MORE

  5. 4. Habitat types in relation to bird diversity in boreal forestry landscapes in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Engla Grönvall; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversty; Forestry; Bird diversity; Habitat types; Species Richness;

    Abstract : Boreal forests in Europe are intensively managed for timber and pulp production, resulting in decreased biodiversity, and in the long-term leading to a reduced number of functioning ecosystem services. To develop a more sustainable forest management it is important to investigate what features and habitat types are needed to preserve a high diversity of species within the forestry landscapes.

  6. 5. How hot are retention patches as structural hotspots? : comparing key elements for biodiversity in retention patches and reference forest stands

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Maja Östlund; [2022]
    Keywords : retention forestry; retention patches; deadwood; live conservation trees; retention forestry; biodiversity preservation; substrate diversity;

    Abstract : Sweden’s historical and current forestry regime has created structurally simplified forest stands with little resemblance of boreal old-growth forests, leading to a decline in many forest dwelling species. Retention forestry was introduced to counteract the negative development by retaining biologically important forest elements. READ MORE
