3. 2. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
   Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

   Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

4. 3. Seasonal variation of LAI in Swedish coniferous forest

   Author : Ilia Mastepanov; [2023]
   Keywords : leaf area index; LAI; PAR; forest; coniferous forest; Hyltemossa; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Leaf Area Index (LAI) is quantity representing the amount of foliage in the canopy, which makes it an important parameter for analysing terrestrial ecosystems. Traditional methods of measuring LAI were done by analysing hemispherical photographs by hand and were very time consuming, requiring specific weather conditions (Jonckheere et al. 2004). 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
