  1. 1. Feasibility of reintroduction of European Bison (Bison bonasus) to Sweden with focus on traffic accidents

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Michael Topszewski; [2023]
    Keywords : wildlife-vehicle collision; risk prediction; reintroduction feasibility; european bison; Bison bonasus; moose; Alces alces; Human-wildlife conflict;

    Abstract : The historical occurrence of European bison (Bison bonasus) in Sweden during the early Holocene emphasizes the ecological significance for a potential reintroduction. The European bison, the largest herbivore on the European continent, is a keystone species with a significant influence on ecosystem dynamics. READ MORE

  3. 2. Holocene lake-level changes in the Siljan Lake District – Towards validation of von Post’s drainage scenario

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Savvas Paradeisis-Stathis; [2020]
    Keywords : Lake Siljan; Dalarna; basin isolation; catastrophic drainage; early Holocene; lake sediments; XRF scanning; C N ratio; magnetic susceptibility; pollen; Ancylus Lake; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. READ MORE

  4. 3. Aeolian and Pedogenic Processes of Loess in Southern England

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ragna Orbe; [2019]
    Keywords : loess; Pegwell Bay; grain size distribution; magnetic susceptibility; past-climate reconstruction; lössavlagringar; Pegwell Bay; partikelstorleks distribution; magnetisk mottaglighet; historisk klimatrekonstruktion;

    Abstract : Loess is an aeolian sediment that can be utilized as a detailed proxy of past climate, since it is one of few sediments that is deposited directly from the atmosphere on land. Investigation of loess deposits can give understanding of past regional and local wind circulation patterns and velocities, atmospheric dustiness, as well as paleo-precipitation and weathering conditions.

  5. 4. Evidence for birch forests and a highly productive environment near the margin of the Fennoscandian ice sheet in the Värriötunturit area, northeastern Finland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Fredrik Bogren; [2019]
    Keywords : Early Holocene; productive ice-marginal environment; subarctic birch forests; plant macrofossils; pollen; palaeoenvironmental reconstructions; palaeoclimate reconstructions; Värriötunturit; Kuutsjärvi; northeastern Finland; northern Fennoscandia;

    Abstract : High-resolution records of early Holocene deposits are rare, and as a consequence reconstruction of terrestrial environments very soon after the deglaciation has often been difficult. In this study the palaeoenvironmental conditions of early Holocene (c. 10600-7500 cal. READ MORE

  6. 5. PLANT MIGRATION AT THE END OF THE WEICHSELIAN GLACIATION : Macrofossil evidence of early coniferous trees at two northern Swedish sites

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Karan Zakrzewski-Sharma; [2019]
    Keywords : Scandinavia; Weichselian; plant migration; macrofossils; climate change;

    Abstract : Studies of vegetation history bring a new incentive to our understanding of plant survival and migration in arctic environments. For decades, environmental research was based on palynological data and these studies created a notion that tree species such as larch (Larix sibirica) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) did not grow in northern Scandinavia at the end of Weichselian glaciation.
