  1. 1. Plant-soil feedbacks in boreal tree species

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

    Author : Kailey Tentis; [2023]
    Keywords : plant-soil feedback; plant economic spectrum; biotic feedback; abiotic feedback; sterilization-inoculation experiment; conspecifics and heterospecifics;

    Abstract : Plant-soil feedback (PSF) is important for understanding how plants influence the composition and abundance of soil biota and nutrients and how this affects plant growth. The plant economic spectrum (PES) also plays a role. READ MORE

  2. 2. The effect of the interplay between fire frequency and grassland structure on tick abundances in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Thilo Heinecke; [2020]
    Keywords : ticks; acari; pyrodiversity; grassland structure; fire ecology; fire frequency; grazing lawn;

    Abstract : Fire in ecology is a very variable factor and its effects are best described as a complex feedback system with other biotic and abiotic factors. These feedback systems need to be understood to enable generalized conclusions about the influence of fire regimes. READ MORE

  3. 3. Regulation of non-specific lipid transfer proteins in abiotically stressed Physcomitrella patens

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Sandra Jansson; [2011]
    Keywords : Abiotic stres; cuticle; non-specific lipid transfer protein; Physcomitrella patens; qRT-PCR;

    Abstract : Non-specific lipid transfer proteins is a large and diverse protein family found in plants, with roles in biological systems ranging from long distance signaling to plant pathogen defense. Little is known about the roles of nsLTPs, but recent studies have cast some light on the issue, among other things proposing that they may be involved in the cutice formation on land-living liverworts, mosses and non-seedbearing plants.
