  1. 1. Effects of natural warming and snow on grass phenology and fitness

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sanne Welin; [2022]
    Keywords : Ecology; Climate change; Iceland; Grass; Festuca rubra;

    Abstract : Organisms respond to changes in their environment using different strategies. Understanding how species deal with changes expected due to ongoing climate change is important for making accurate predictions about their effect on ecosystems. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effects of organic matter depletion on fungal communities in a reconstructed boreal forest podzol system

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Katharine Alice King; [2020]
    Keywords : ectomycorrhizal fungi; fungal community structure; fungal diversity; high throughput sequencing; podzol; soil horizons;

    Abstract : The boreal forest biome serves as a valuable resource, both as a source of wood, pulp and biofuel, and as a sink of atmospheric carbon (C). A large proportion of C is sequestered to the soil of the boreal biome, however belowground processes are still poorly understood. READ MORE
