  1. 1. Influence of structural complexity of the Rumperöd forest on evapotranspiration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Madeleine Durdek; [2023]
    Keywords : Forest structural complexity; evapotranspiration; vapour pressure deficit; eddy covariance; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The influence of Forest Structural Complexity (FSC) on evapotranspiration (ET) was investigated in a mixed forest of Southern Sweden where micrometeorological Eddy Covariance (EC) measurements were conducted for the years 2015 to 2022. For each year, the top 25% of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) were selected to emphasize the response of ET to the driest atmospheric conditions. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effects of management practices and environmental variables on the biodiversity of Nardus grasslands in the national park Hohe Tauern, Austria

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Rebecca Paulina Dörner; [2023]
    Keywords : biodiversity; Nardus stricta; Nardus grassland; national park Hohe Tauern; East Tyrol; alpine pastures;

    Abstract : Introduction. A large part of the biodiversity of the Alps is linked to an interaction between the natural environment and traditional land-use practices. This study focuses on the priority habitat type of species rich Nardus grasslands (Natura 2000 Code 6230*), which is endangered, but continues to thrive in extensively managed subalpine pastures.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. The battle against sepsis : exploring the genotypic diversity of pseudomonas and proteus clinical isolates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Suud Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that has a mysterious origin, underscoring the significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial whole-genome sequencing, which is widely used in clinical microbiology, stands at the forefront of sequencing technologies, particularly to combat sepsis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Tree growth and field vegetation in forest edge zones on a property in southeast Sweden

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Pieter van Tongeren; [2023]
    Keywords : tree growth; diversity; field vegetation; edge zones; edge effect;

    Abstract : Summary  In the 1990s a new way of thinking about forestry started. One of the effects of the changing silvicultural practices was that the size of clearcuts became smaller. As the felling areas were reduced in size, the areas where young and older forest meet grew, with this also the occurrence of edge zones increased. READ MORE
