31. MOUNTAIN ROADS AND THE HOMOGENIZATION OF PLANTS. A study on plant communities and their traits along the elevational gradient.
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : Overexploitation, land use, and other anthropogenic disturbances have increased in recent years, and are expected to increase even further. A very common anthropogenic disturbance, that can be seen even as far as in mountain regions, is roads. READ MORE

32. ARCTIC MYCORRHIZAL INTERACTIONS UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : The Arctic is experiencing climate change at an extreme rate, affecting both the rates of plant growth and nutrient cycling. Due to the changes in temperature, but also in nutrient cycling, with increased nutrient mineralization and decreasing P:N ratio (phosphorus, P and nitrogen, N), the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) that are prevalent in warmer soils have shown the potential to increase in the otherwise unfavorable Arctic environment.

33. Effects of temperature on germination and juvenile growth in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologyAbstract : As the worlds urban population grows more and more every year, it becomes increasingly important that cities become more self-sufficient on food. Indoor vertical hydroponic farms offer a solution to this by placing the farm in an urban environment and growing plants in a controlled environment. READ MORE

34. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.

35. Rågens allelopatiska verkan på ogräs : odlingstekniker av råg för ogräskontroll
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologyAbstract : Råg har god ogräskonkurrerande förmåga, som delvis kan förklaras av artens allelopatiska förmåga. Allelopati kan definieras som alla direkta eller indirekta effekter (skadliga eller fördelaktiga) en växt har på en annan växt genom produktion av kemiska föreningar som utsöndras till omgivningen.
