  1. 1. Föryngring med hägn : effekten av viltbete på självföryngrad ädellövskog i tre skånska naturreservat

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

    Author : Håkan Ramberg; Kaj Sjöqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Bokskog; naturlig föryngring; betesbegärlighet; viltbete; strukturförändring;

    Abstract : Ädellövskogens artsammansättning styrs av flera naturliga processer, en av dessa processer är viltbete. Bete kan leda till att trädslagsfördelningen förändras och att föryngring blir problematiskt, speciellt i områden med stora viltstammar och för de mer betesbegärliga trädarterna. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Combined Influences of Canopy Openness, Browsing Protection, and Low Intensity Fire on the Natural Regeneration of Oak in Southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Benjamin Miles; [2022]
    Keywords : burn; browsing; disturbance; fire; light; oak; Q.robur; Q.petraea; ungulates;

    Abstract : Whilst oak was historically prevalent in the landscape of temperate Europe, changes in the disturbance regime of forests have led to limited regeneration across its distribution. In this study, the fire oak hypothesis is tested to assess the tolerance of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea recruits (seedlings and saplings) to a low intensity burn, and how this response may differ depending on the presence of browsing and canopy openness.

  4. 3. Browsing on naturally regenerated oak seedlings : the interaction between cervid browsing and light availability

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Per Nordin; [2018]
    Keywords : browsing intensity; browsing frequency; forest regeneration; moose; Quercus robur; roe deer; southern Sweden;

    Abstract : Browsing on oak seedlings and other tree species is a major problem when regenerating forest in Sweden. Several factors such as light, surrounding vegetation and season, can influence browsing intensity and browsing frequency. In this study the relationship between cervid browsing and light was examined. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of wolf predation risk on community weighted mean plant traits in Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland

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

    Author : Jone Lescinskaite; [2018]
    Keywords : red deer; wolf; bison; browsing; plant traits; landscape of fear;

    Abstract : It is still largely unknown what effect does wolf risk have on the lower trophic levels in Europe. In the last European lowland forest these interactions were explored with a main browser species – red deer (Cervus elaphus), and other four less common ungulate species, one of which is European bison (Bison bonasus).

  6. 5. Betesskador : en studie av människans och naturens inverkan

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

    Author : Henrik Kämpe; Ludvig Strandberg; [2018]
    Keywords : klimatdata; avskjutning; foderprognoser; klövvilt; viltstatistik;

    Abstract : Skogssällskapet har under en period bedrivit en uppföljning av betesskador och klövviltspopulationernas storlek på deras fastighet i Selesjö. Vi har i vårt arbete valt att använda oss av inventeringsdata från Skogssällskapets fastighet Selesjö samt referensområdena Öster-Malma och Växjö som ingår i projekt FOMA (Fortlöpande miljöanalys).
