1. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the spatial ecology of moose in an area with high recreational activity
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : In diverse landscapes, the coexistence of wildlife habitat requirements and human land use often leads to conflicts, posing challenges for sustainable species management. Recreational activities, especially in sparsely populated areas, frequently disturb wildlife behavior, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic impacts on habitats. READ MORE

2. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE

4. Beetle Diversity – Land Sparing or Land Sharing? : the effects of timber extraction and restoration method on saproxylic beetle assemblages in mature managed pine forests
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : The impoverishment of saproxylic beetle communities is a growing concern for management of boreal forest biodiversity. Past research has found active restoration methods, such as creating deadwood and conducting prescribed burnings, to have a short-term positive effect on the species richness and compositional diversity of saproxylic beetle assemblages.
