  1. 6. Effects of soil factors on pioneer bryophyte species composition

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Dora Mijić; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Bryophytes play a significant role in various ecological processes, including soil succession and colonization after disturbances. Although they are commonly believed to take up nutrients from soil solutions rather than the soil itself, the influence of soil on their growth and distribution is evident from previous studies.

  3. 7. FOREST LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE OF CAPERCAILLIE (TETRAO UROGALLUS) LEK SITES IN NORTHERN SWEDEN : Analysis of lek site characteristics

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Agnes Blomgren; [2023]
    Keywords : capercaillie Tetrao urogallus ; habitat selection; forest landscape structure; lek site;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to analyze which variables influence the capercaillie’s (Tetrao urogallus) selection of lek sites in northern Sweden by using remote sensing data. The lek site is a crucial area for the species’ reproductive success. READ MORE

  4. 8. Characteristics of instream wood following alluvial river restoration : Using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Martina Fjällberg; [2023]
    Keywords : River restoration; instream wood; uncrewed aerial vehicles; fluvial geomorphology.;

    Abstract : River restoration is something that is often used to help restore watercourses that were historically used for timber floating. In these restorations, instream wood (IW) plays a big role in increasing biodiversity and habitat heterogeneity in watercourses. READ MORE

  5. 9. Bear in mind! A study about the effect of bear predation on the choice of calving site and site fidelity by female moose in Sweden

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

    Author : Lisa Dijkgraaf; [2022]
    Keywords : moose Alces alces ; brown bear Ursus arctos ; predation; calving site; site fidelity;

    Abstract : Selecting a suitable calving site is important for ungulates, especially when predators are present. Brown bears (Ursus arctos) predate on moose calves (Alces alces) and therefore influence the reproductive success of the moose. READ MORE

  6. 10. 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
