  1. 1. Headfirst into shallow water - Wetland restoration and its contribution to the Habitats Directive

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

    Author : Elin Brandt Korall; [2024]
    Keywords : Wetlands; GIS; Restoration; Rewetting; Ecology; LONA; Habitats Directive; Natura 2000; Nature conservation; Våtmarker; GIS; Geografiska informationssystem; Restaurering; Återvätning; LONA; Art- och Habitatsdirektivet; Natura 2000; Naturvård;

    Abstract : Located in the borderland between aquatic and terrestrial environments, the wetlands cover a wide spectrum of habitats and enable living standards for a great variety of organisms. Although important habitats, a great extent of the original wetlands have disappeared in Europe and Sweden due to anthropogenic disturbances. READ MORE

  3. 2. Natur-lika planteringar med inhemska perenner : gestaltningsförslag för kvarteret Törnrosen, Malmö

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

    Author : Josef Ekelund; [2023]
    Keywords : växtkomposition; växtekologi; inhemska perenner; biologisk mångfald;

    Abstract : Urbana planteringar förväntas fylla allt fler ekologiska funktioner i staden samtidigt som de ska ha höga estetiska värden och vara så skötselextensiva som möjligt. Detta ställer höga krav på dess utformning och det ingående växtmaterialet. READ MORE

  4. 3. The relative contribution of CNVs and SNPs to local adaptation in Norway spruce (Picea abies)

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

    Author : Yuxuan Niu; [2022]
    Keywords : CNVs; SNPs; Norway spruce; local adaptation;

    Abstract : In the current environment of severe climate change, studying the adaptability of Norway spruce to the environment, that is, local adaptation is of great significance for helping to protect forest tree species and genetic breeding. As a structural variation, copy number variations (CNVs) have been proved to play an important role in shaping population structure and local adaptation in marine species, going beyond traditional studies focusing only on SNPs.

    Abstract : Boreal forests are particularly vulnerable to climate change, experiencing a much more drastic increase in temperatures and having a limited amount of more northern refugia. The trees making up these vast and important ecosystems already had to adapt previously to environmental pressures brought about by the repeated glaciations during past ice ages. READ MORE

  6. 5. Advancing understanding of tropical forest carbon dynamics through improved allometric models for palms: A case study with Prestoea montana in Puerto

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

    Author : Paschalis Chatzopoulos; [2021]
    Keywords : Above ground biomass; allometry; Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot; Palms;

    Abstract : Tropical forests are major components of Earth’s carbon stocks, but their diversity and structural complexity pose major challenges for making accurate estimates of their above ground biomass (AGB). Palms, in particular, are prominent and unique components of many tropical forests that have anatomical and physiological differences from dicot trees which affect their height - diameter allometry and consequently, our ability to accurately estimate their AGB.
