  1. 1. Effect of stand age on soil respiration in managed vs unmanaged Scots pine stands

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

    Author : Richard Engholm; [2024]
    Keywords : chronosequence; soil respiration; total respiration; autotrophic respiration; heterotrophic respiration; forestry;

    Abstract : How the forests in Sweden and around the world have been, and are still today, managed is a hot debate. The rotation forestry that is commonly used in Sweden has been the focus of debate regarding whether it is a sustainable management method, and whether it should be changed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) morphological variation in the Massif Central region, France. : A study of differences in traits between populations.

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

    Author : Amanda Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Scots Pine (P. sylvestris L.) has one of the largest distributions among trees in Eurasia. It is important both economically and ecologically, with a dominant role in forests ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Effects of climate, soil, and forest structure on specific leaf area of understorey foundation plants

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Sashank Khaniya; [2023]
    Keywords : Specific leaf area; understorey vegetation; foundation species; forest structure; climate change;

    Abstract : Forest overstorey's interaction with understorey vegetation is a crucial aspect that impacts the biodiversity and resilience of forest ecosystems. Particularly, the influence of the overstorey on the specific leaf area (SLA) in understorey plants remains poorly understood. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession

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

    Author : August Hedberg; Julian Säflund; [2023]
    Keywords : primary succession; succession; ectomycorrhiza; saprotroph; tree growth; Pinus sylvestris; soil fungi;

    Abstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE
