  1. 26. Constructing a food web from inventory data in a boreal forest-dominated national park in south-eastern Sweden

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Philip Kjellström; [2023]
    Keywords : ecological network; food web; boreal forest food web; national park food web; interspecific competition; swedish forest; construction food web;

    Abstract : A food web was constructed for a boreal-forest dominated national park in south-eastern Sweden, called Tyresta national park and its surrounding nature reserve. Due to increasing threats to mammalian species and their critical role in the food web mammals were used as the outset of the food web, and from there branching out to taxa trophically interacting with mammals directly and indirectly.

  3. 27. Habitat types in relation to bird diversity in boreal forestry landscapes in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Engla Grönvall; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversty; Forestry; Bird diversity; Habitat types; Species Richness;

    Abstract : Boreal forests in Europe are intensively managed for timber and pulp production, resulting in decreased biodiversity, and in the long-term leading to a reduced number of functioning ecosystem services. To develop a more sustainable forest management it is important to investigate what features and habitat types are needed to preserve a high diversity of species within the forestry landscapes.

  4. 28. Riparian vegetation ecology : an observational study into the effects of forest management on understory vegetation communities along boreal headwaters

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

    Author : Ruben Jonathan Baan Hofman; [2023]
    Keywords : riparian forest; forest management; understory vegetation; headwater streams; community ecology;

    Abstract : Riparian forests along headwater streams have long been recognized for their role as an interface between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem.

  5. 29. Long-Term Results of a Field Experiment in Conifer Mixed Regenerations

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Hammed Abiola Adekunle; [2023]
    Keywords : regeneration; Drettinge method; Scots pine; Norway spruce; Clearcut; Shelterwood;

    Abstract : A national regeneration experiment was established across the boreal forest of Sweden. This study presents the regeneration results of the combination method, the so-called Drettinge method, which aims to evaluate the establishment of mixtures of naturally regenerated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and planted Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst. READ MORE

  6. 30. Evaluation of the variation in albedo over snow-covered forest in Northern Sweden and Finland

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Hugosson; [2022-05-20]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The effect of albedo variability induced by meteorological parameters in snow-covered forested areas at local scale is poorly known. Few meteorological stations measure albedo, even though the effect on albedo caused by land use changes is well known. READ MORE
