  3. 2. ARCTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES RISE WITH TEMPERATURE Plant functional traits as a tool to predict global climate change

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Helena Sundell; [2022-07-06]
    Keywords : Arctic warming; plant functional traits; Community Weighted Mean; vegetational changes; global climate change;

    Abstract : Global warming occurs at a rate at least three-fold in the arctic regions compared to the rest of the world. Here, plant community functional traits were assessed in response to experimental warming in three arctic areas of Fennoscandia (Latnajajure, Abisko and Kilpisjärvi). READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of diversified cropping on arthropod communities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Eira Eksvärd; [2022]
    Keywords : carabids; spiders; traits; organic amendments; ley legacy effects;

    Abstract : Även intensiva moderna jordbruk är beroende av ekosystemtjänster som organismer bidrar med såsom biologisk bekämpning av skadedjur. Effekten av biodiversitet på ekosystemprocesser förklaras inte i tillräcklig grad av taxonomisk mångfald, utan beror snarare på mångfalden av funktionella egenskaper bland arterna. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of wolf predation risk on community weighted mean plant traits in Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland

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

    Author : Jone Lescinskaite; [2018]
    Keywords : red deer; wolf; bison; browsing; plant traits; landscape of fear;

    Abstract : It is still largely unknown what effect does wolf risk have on the lower trophic levels in Europe. In the last European lowland forest these interactions were explored with a main browser species – red deer (Cervus elaphus), and other four less common ungulate species, one of which is European bison (Bison bonasus).
