1. 1. Can precommercial thinning be used to create more diversity after planting spruce?

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Astrid Bygge; [2024]
   Keywords : Forestry; pre-commercial; stand structure; heterogeneity; silviculture; mixed forests; monoculture; Picea abies; Betula spp.;

   Abstract : Mixed forests will harbour other ecosystem services than a planted coniferous monoculture. This study used early results from a long-term experiment to examine if different precommercial thinning treatments can be used to increase diversity in planted stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies) mixed with high densities of natural regeneration of birch (Betula spp. READ MORE

3. 2. Effectiveness of the Costa Rican Payments for Ecosystem Services program in mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: Trends in carbon stocks 2012-2020

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Noelia Solano Guindon; [2023]
   Keywords : Payments for ecosystem services; ecosystem services; carbon stocks; greenhouse gas emissions; mitigation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. READ MORE

4. 3. Föryngring med hägn : effekten av viltbete på självföryngrad ädellövskog i tre skånska naturreservat

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Håkan Ramberg; Kaj Sjöqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : Bokskog; naturlig föryngring; betesbegärlighet; viltbete; strukturförändring;

   Abstract : Ädellövskogens artsammansättning styrs av flera naturliga processer, en av dessa processer är viltbete. Bete kan leda till att trädslagsfördelningen förändras och att föryngring blir problematiskt, speciellt i områden med stora viltstammar och för de mer betesbegärliga trädarterna. READ MORE

5. 4. Ecosystem services from woody vegetation in East African rangelands

   Abstract : Drylands cover nearly half of the Earth's land surface and are dominated by croplands and rangelands. Dryland ecosystems worldwide are affected by land degradation. Increased population pressure, climate change and unsustainable land use threaten essential ecosystem services and adversely impact people’s livelihoods and well-being. READ MORE

6. 5. Foliar fungal communities of naturally regenerated and nursery-produced Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Sara López Fernández; [2023]
   Keywords : Endophytes; high-throughput sequencing; foliar fungi; forest nursery; fungal community; fungal pathogens; metabarcoding; mycobiome; Pinus sylvestris; pine seedlings; Scots pine needles;

   Abstract : Endophytic fungal communities living in leaves of trees can have a significant impact on their hosts,showing both beneficial and detrimental effects. Some mutualistic fungal species protect the host against pathogens or herbivores, while pathogenic species can increase the vulnerability of the host against biotic and abiotic stresses. READ MORE
