  1. 1. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
    Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

    Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mapping edge vegetation in connection to beech forest to locate potential habitats for red-listed beetles in Scania, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lovisa Rosenquist Ohlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : forest; temperate broadleaved forest; beech; biodiversity; edge vegetation; southern Sweden; Scania; beetles; Natura 2000; Fagus sylvatica; Stictoleptura scutellata; Ischnomera sanguinicollis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The number of species classified as red-listed has increased by 11% between 2015 and 2020, with beetles and butterflies being especially affected. Among these are the vulnerable longhorned beetle (Stictoleptura scutellata) and the endangered false blister beetle (Ischnomera sanguinicollis). READ MORE

  4. 3. Mushroom cultivation in Temperate Agroforestry : potential Agroforestry practices, growing methods, and native edible saprophytes to Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Robert Kalenius; [2022]
    Keywords : Circular systems; macrofungi; edible fruitbodies; outdoor mushroom production; waste management; by-product substrates; sustainable agriculture; sustainable forestry;

    Abstract : Traditions of outdoor cultivation of edible fungi in woodland conditions have been practiced in North-East Asia for centuries. This outdoor mushroom production method was exported to North America almost 40 years ago and provides an additional income for small-scale forest farmers, the agroforestry practice closest to woodland conditions.

  5. 4. Looking for shrubs in an alvar: Investigating classification of orthophotos as a way of mapping shrub species Juniperus communis and Dasiphora fruticose on Stora Alvaret, Öland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Lantmäteri (CI)

    Author : Jorun Westman; [2022]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Orthophoto; Stora Alvaret; Shrub; Monitoring; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Loss of biodiversity is an immediate threat to the planet and if no actions are taken it is expected to accelerate. The highest species richness on smaller scale is found in semi-natural temperate grasslands, with one of the documented records from Stora Alvaret on Öland, Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Patricija Marijauskaite; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Ecosystem modelling; LPJ-GUESS; Climate change; Forest sequestration; Land carbon sink; Norway spruce; Scot s pine; Silver birch; monoculture; silviculture; NPP; NBP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). READ MORE
