  1. 16. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

  3. 17. Coexistence - A place for all

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Antonia Fe Sophia Jacob-Neubert; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable Neighborhood; Bottom-up Strategy; Urban Nature; Urban Ecology; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : "Wasserstadt - a place of coexistence" Global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, population growth, and migration will inevitably change the way we live. Cities are conglomerates of many and, thus, are often perceived as a threat to wildlife and plant life. READ MORE

  4. 18. 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. The over- and understory vegetation performs essential ecological and biochemical functions, which are important for stream functions. READ MORE

  5. 19. Fungal pigmentation responses to microclimatic variables in isolated forest patches in Northern Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Karl Soler Kinnerbäck; [2023]
    Keywords : fungal ecology; mycology; functional traits; communities; pigmentation; CIELAB; lightness; microclimate; polypores;

    Abstract : Investigating functional traits is an important tool for understanding fungal communities, yet ecological functions of fungal pigmentation remain poorly investigated. Recent studies support the thermal-melanism hypothesis for fungal color lightness in relation to macroclimate, but it remains unclear if microclimate also affects fungal pigmentation. READ MORE

  6. 20. Detectability of insects in Malaise traps : assessing insect detectability in Malaise traps through High-Resolution Sampling, and development of a novel marking technique

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Viktor Gårdman; [2023]
    Keywords : Malaise trap; activity; movement; weather; mark-recapture; detectability; insects;

    Abstract : Malaise traps are extensively used in insect surveys and studies, yet the detectability of insects in relation to the traps remain unknown. Detectability is the odds that a taxon ends up in a trap, given that the taxon is present in the area around the trap. READ MORE
