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. Trends in mountain birch seed abundance and its relation to temperature and moth abundance: a ten-year study from Swedish Lapland

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Keywords : Betula pubescens; climate change; seed production; Epirrita autumnata; Operophtera brumata; subarctic ecology; folivory; larval abundance;

   Abstract : Boreal forest is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Being one of the most ubiquitous and coldtolerant tree species in Sweden, the mountain birch forms a unique deciduous treeline and marks the forest-tundra ecotone. READ MORE

4. 3. Differences and similarities in stand characteristics after prescribed burning and wildfire : implications for conservation of forest biodiversity

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Hannah Sophie Jakob; [2023]
   Keywords : coarse woody debris; conservation; biodiversity; boreal forest; Daldinia loculata; Fennoscandia; prescribed burning; regeneration; wildfire; woodpecker;

   Abstract : 1. Wildfires are a natural disturbance in the boreal forests of Fennoscandia and have shaped and formed forests in the past, resulting in very heterogeneous forests containing large amounts of dead and living trees in various age classes. READ MORE

5. 4. Impact of forest management on the diversity of wood decaying fungi : A comparison between two closely related forests in southern Sweden

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Author : Johanna Sollén Mattsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Biodiversity; Boreal forests; Forest management; Forestry; Natural forests; Wood decaying fungi;

   Abstract : Modern forestry practices have negative effects on many organisms because they change the forest’s disturbance dynamics, makes the forest’s structure less complex, and fragments old-growth forests. This study examined how commercial forestry practices affect the diversity of wood-decaying fungi, by comparing two closely related forests with different management in Östergötland, Sweden.

6. 5. Hyggesfritt skogsbruk i boreal skog – tidsstudie och kostnader för föryngringsåtgärder vid luckhuggning i ett tallbestånd i Vätteskogen, Skinnskatteberg

   University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

   Author : Niclas Segerfur; [2022]
   Keywords : markberedning; plantering; sådd;

   Abstract : I Sverige är trakthyggesbruket den dominerande metoden inom skogsbruket, men intresset för hyggesfria alternativ ökar ständigt. Luckhuggning är en hyggesfri avverkningsmetod speciellt lämpad för pionjärträdslag som tall. READ MORE
