  1. 1. Do OTC warming effects on ecosystem processes depend on moss species identity, precipitation, and moss removal?

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

    Author : Alexina Brännlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Experimental warming; Subarctic tundra mosses; Productivity; Ecosystem respiration; Decomposition;

    Abstract : Long-term warming experiments in arctic tundra have resulted in reduced moss cover and increased vascular plant cover. As mosses have a major impact on microclimatic conditions, changes in community composition can potentially alter direct and indirect drivers of productivity and decomposition, which are low in arctic ecosystems.

  3. 2. Nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria associated to feathermosses : a comparison between Scots pine and Norway spruce stands

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

    Author : Felicia Dahlgren Lidman; [2018]
    Keywords : boreal forest; pinus sylvestris; picea abies; acetylene reduction assay;

    Abstract : The limitations of available nutrients are strong in the boreal forest, especially of nitrogen (N). Due to slow mineralization rate of organic soil nitrogen, caused by low temperatures and acidic soils. Few organisms can fixate atmospheric nitrogen. Among those who have the ability there are some that are common in the boreal forest. READ MORE

  4. 3. Mosstäcket ökar tillväxten hos Vaccinium myrtillus

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

    Author : Isak Lodin ; Mimmi Blomquist; [2013]
    Keywords : Pleurozium schreberi; kväve; erikoid mykorrhiza; undervegetation; ericaceae;

    Abstract : Tillväxten i boreala skogsekosystem är kvävebegränsad. Tidigare studier har visat att mosstäcket i dessa ekosystem har en positiv inverkan på näringsstatus hos ljungväxter. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nitrogen fixation among boreal feather mosses along a clear-cut chronosequence

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

    Author : Lisa Wik Persson; [2013]
    Keywords : boreal forest; nitrogen fixation; feather moss; Pleurozium schreberi; Hylocomium splendens; cyanobacteria; acetylene reduction; Sweden; boreal skog; kvävefixering; cyanobakterier; acetylen reduktion; Sverige;

    Abstract : The Swedish boreal forests are limited by nitrogen (N) availability. While biological N2 fixation by cyanobacteria hosted by pleurocarpous feather mosses are important sources of N input to natural boreal forest ecosystems, little is known about the patterns of N2 fixation in silvicultural systems.

  6. 5. Mossor som marktäckare i offentliga miljöer

    University essay from SLU/Landscape Management, Design, and Construction (until 121231)

    Author : Teresia Nordenborg; [2011]
    Keywords : mossor; marktäckare; offentlig miljö; mossträdgård; japansk trädgård; skötsel;

    Abstract : Vad har mossa för möjligheter som marktäckare i offentliga utemiljöer? Det är frågan som detta examensarbete genom en litteraturstudie försöker finna svaret på. Mossor har under århundraden varit en uppskattad marktäckare i Japan, landet där det medvetna användandet av mossor i trädgårdssammanhang har sitt ursprung. READ MORE
