  1. 11. Assessment of how environmental variables and vegetation structure influence peatland carbon fluxes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Bernabé Ramírez; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Boreal peatlands are important ecosystems from a carbon balance perspective because they are natural carbon sinks as a result of millennia of peat formation. However, due to climate change, these ecosystems are susceptible to changes in hydrology and temperature. READ MORE

  3. 12. The effect of forestry and cervid densities on annual growth of ericaceous shrub species

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Alina Sayn; [2021]
    Keywords : production forest; conifer; silviculture; plant-animal interaction; forest management; ungulate;

    Abstract : Ericaceous shrubs, such as bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), cowberry (V. vitis-idaea), and heather (Calluna vulgaris), dominate the understory in Swedish forests. Their important role of providing forage for wild deer is well established. READ MORE

  4. 13. Legacy effects of spring temperature anomalies on seasonal productivities in northern ecosystems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hanna Marsh; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Northern ecosystems; Legacy effects; Climate Change; Gross Primary Production; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Legacy effects of spring temperature anomalies on seasonal productivities in northern ecosystems Direct and lagged effects from spring temperature anomalies for the time-period 2001-2018 have been investigated for northern ecosystems (> 30°N). Three different data sets of Gross Primary Production (GPP) estimates (GOSIF, NIRvGPP and FLUX GPP) have been used in tandem with concurrent climate data to find significant correlations between spring growth and temperature anomalies and subsequent growing seasons.

  5. 14. Urban buskmosaik : nutida perspektiv på buskars användning i hållbara och attraktiva utemiljöer

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Emma Axelsson; Matilda Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : biotopplantering; buskar; The woody meadow project; växtsamhälle; hed; stäpp; shrubland; hårdgjord miljö;

    Abstract : Buskar är en välanvänd växtkategori i offentlig miljö i Sverige, men tenderar att framför allt användas i monotona massplanteringar som både har låga visuella- och ekologiska värden. Samtidigt är buskar det växtmaterial som är mest användbart med avseende på hållbarhet, låg skötselintensitet och mångsidighet. READ MORE

  6. 15. Buskar : användning i offentliga planteringar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Pernilla Fridberg; [2020]
    Keywords : buskar; artdiversitet; diversitet; artrikedom; gestaltning; offentliga miljöer; succession; beskärning; skötsel; värden; säsongsvariationer; växtkomposition; upplevelsevärden; succession; dynamik; konkurrensstrategi; shrubs; species diversity; biodiversity; design proposal; public environment; succession; pruning; management; values; season variations; plant composition; composition principles; experience value;

    Abstract : Idag används buskar framförallt i monotona samplanteringar där de betraktas som byggda element, synonyma med betong. Succession, dynamik och konkurrensstrategier har haft ingen eller mycket liten del i planeringen av gröna miljöer. READ MORE
