  1. 16. Evaluation of the variation in albedo over snow-covered forest in Northern Sweden and Finland

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Hugosson; [2022-05-20]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The effect of albedo variability induced by meteorological parameters in snow-covered forested areas at local scale is poorly known. Few meteorological stations measure albedo, even though the effect on albedo caused by land use changes is well known. READ MORE

  3. 17. Trädkronstäckning i urbana miljöer : en fallstudie av Uppsala tätorts trädkronstäckning

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Klara Elmblad; Julia Hultegård; [2022]
    Keywords : urbana träd; trädkronstäckning; stadsplanering; stadsskogsbruk; i-Tree Canopy;

    Abstract : Träd i urbana miljöer är viktiga för att kunna hantera de globala utmaningar som dagens samhälle står inför. Stadsskogsbruk - det vill säga planering samt förvaltning av samtliga träd inom och i anslutning till stadsmiljön - kan bidra till ett mer klimatanpassat samhälle. READ MORE

  4. 18. Mapping Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) Habitat Suitability in Baden-Württemberg with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Habitat Suitability; Remote Sensing; Image Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE

  5. 19. Stand characteristics and temperature’s effect on bilberry availability and quality

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

    Author : Jennifer Chaimungkhun Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : bilberry; vaccinium myrtillus; nutrition; maturity classes; temperature loggers;

    Abstract : Stand characteristics is a crude description of a forest and provides general knowledge of what the forest looks like, for example plant composition and site productivity. Factors and measurements like tree canopy and basal area affects the near ground microclimate through temperature regulation, light intake, and available soil nutrient. READ MORE

  6. 20. The Combined Influences of Canopy Openness, Browsing Protection, and Low Intensity Fire on the Natural Regeneration of Oak in Southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Benjamin Miles; [2022]
    Keywords : burn; browsing; disturbance; fire; light; oak; Q.robur; Q.petraea; ungulates;

    Abstract : Whilst oak was historically prevalent in the landscape of temperate Europe, changes in the disturbance regime of forests have led to limited regeneration across its distribution. In this study, the fire oak hypothesis is tested to assess the tolerance of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea recruits (seedlings and saplings) to a low intensity burn, and how this response may differ depending on the presence of browsing and canopy openness.
