  1. 26. The role of common mycorrhizal networks for forest regeneration near clear-cut edges : implications for management

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

    Author : Marcus Björs; [2022]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhizal fungi; Common mycorrhizal network; Regeneration; Boreal; Scots pine;

    Abstract : Poor regeneration close to edges on clear-cuts and around seed trees in the Swedish boreal zone is well-known to foresters. With an intensifying national and European discussion concerning forestry, the prominence of edge effects is likely to increase. However, little is known of the drivers behind these edge effects.

  3. 27. Effects on natural seed regenerated Silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and Downey birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh) by mechanical soil scarification and environmental factors : påverkan på naturligt fröföryngrad Glasbjörk (Betula pubescens Ehrh) och Hängbjörk (Betula pendula Roth) av mekanisk markberedning och omgivande faktorer

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

    Author : Oskar Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : natural birch regeneration; Birch seed regeneration; soil scarification;

    Abstract : The awareness of forest biodiversity as well as the demand for a higher proportion of deciduous tree species in Swedish forests increases. As such, focus is shifting towards the management of naturally seed regenerated Silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and Downey birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh). READ MORE

  4. 28. Kan schackrutehuggning mildra konflikten mellan skogsbruk och renskötsel? : en intervjustudie med renskötare och skogsbolag

  5. 29. Tree stump manipulation - An experimental method to accelerate decomposition in tree stumps to compensate for the shortfall in dead wood substrate

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård

    Author : Thomas Leonard Reneman; [2021-11-29]
    Keywords : stumps; dead wood; extraction; biodiversity; natural disturbances; mimicking; manipulation;

    Abstract : Current forestry exploits put a lot of strain on the global ecosystem that all life on earth depends on. Boreal natural dynamic forest environments are turned into sterile clear-cut areas. Forestry exploits also affect the biodiversity by extracting substantial amounts of dead wood substrate. READ MORE

  6. 30. Flower-visiting insects benefit from forest in the surrounding landscape

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

    Author : Emilia Sundell; [2021]
    Keywords : Apoidea; clear-cut; Coleoptera; forest; Hymenoptera; landscape composition; Lepidoptera; Syrphoidea;

    Abstract : Habitat loss and fragmentation due to agricultural practices are causing worrying declines in insect diversity and biomass. Agricultural intensification, among other things, have led to a decline in semi-natural grasslands. Forest in the surrounding landscape can have a positive effect on species abundance in grasslands.
