  1. 1. Mängden död ved i värdekärnor i Söderåsens nationalpark

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Gustav Thurell; [2024]
    Keywords : volym död ved; stående död ved; liggande död ved; bokskog; nedbrytningsgrad; värdekärna;

    Abstract : There is a lack of knowledge about the development of the dead wood in former production beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests that have been protected. The present study has been carried out in Söderåsen National Park to compare the distribution of dead wood in relatively unaffected beech forests that have been protected for a long time (A-value cores) and older, previously managed beech forest that has only been protected for 20-30 years (B-value cores).

  3. 2. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maja Holm; [2024]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem science; soil organic carbon; soil sampling; perennial crops; carbon sequestration; carbon farming; Kernza™; soil organic carbon stock; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Can precommercial thinning be used to create more diversity after planting spruce?

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Astrid Bygge; [2024]
    Keywords : Forestry; pre-commercial; stand structure; heterogeneity; silviculture; mixed forests; monoculture; Picea abies; Betula spp.;

    Abstract : Mixed forests will harbour other ecosystem services than a planted coniferous monoculture. This study used early results from a long-term experiment to examine if different precommercial thinning treatments can be used to increase diversity in planted stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies) mixed with high densities of natural regeneration of birch (Betula spp. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of management and plant traits on tree-related microhabitats in second-growth stands of the Białowieża Forest

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Weronika Mysiak; [2022]
    Keywords : tree-related microhabitats; TreMs; Białowieża Forest; post-Century stands; second-growth forest;

    Abstract : The study presents research conducted on Tree-related Microhabitats (TreM) in managed stands and nearly unmanaged stands in the Białowieża Forest (BF). A TreM is an above-ground structure that creates substrate, site or place for forest-dwelling species, and could be an important tool for assessing the level of biodiversity. READ MORE

  6. 5. Water mapping in Scots pine stands after thinning

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Michalina Maria Grabowska; [2022]
    Keywords : Scots pine; Pinus sylvestris; drought; thinning; root system; water uptake; heavy water;

    Abstract : Climate change is an ongoing issue in various fields, including forestry. More frequent and severe droughts have been already noted around the world, also in Europe. Visible reduction in available water in forests has adverse consequences such as increased tree mortality, higher vulnerability and smaller growth. READ MORE
