1. 1. Effects of climate on phenology, flowering, and berry production of boreal forest understory plants

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Shakhera Akter Shimu; [2023]
   Keywords : Climate change; plant phenology; phenological traits; phenology change; cumulative temperature; phenotypic plasticity; genotypic variation;

   Abstract : Climate is changing faster than it was predicted before and consequently its impact is highly visible on many types of ecosystems globally. Effects of changing climate on forests and the environment are leading to threats for all sorts of ecosystems. READ MORE

3. 2. What is a “good” forest? : a case study from Nepal to understand local women’s values for people-centred restoration

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Tina Jahn; [2023]
   Keywords : people-centred restoration; forest restoration; community-based forest management; community forestry; social inclusion; gender inclusion; equity; livelihood benefits; participation;

   Abstract : Restoration is seen as a key strategy to counteract global issues of the climate crisis, deforestation, and land degradation. However, restoration initiatives are being criticised for failing to consider social and political dimensions, leading to negative effects on ecosystems and people. READ MORE

4. 3. 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

5. 4. The assessment of ecosystem services provided by forest edge effects on fields in a fragmented Swedish agricultural landscape : a methodological framework

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

   Author : Juliette Nguyen; [2022]
   Keywords : carbon sequestration; cropping systems; DSSAT; ecosystem services; edge effect; food production; landscape diversification; landscape fragmentation; soil heterogeneity; soil organic carbon; spatial variability; total nitrogen; yield;

   Abstract : Agricultural expansion, prompted by increasing global food demand, has fragmented, simplified, and homogenized the landscape in the last decades. The resilience and sustainability of croplands are at stake, resulting in a hight vulnerability to climate change, and having major impacts on environmental protection, biodiversity preservation and food security.

6. 5. Vad betyder det att skydda natur? : en europeisk jämförelse av skyddade områden

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

   Author : Therése Strömvall Nyberg; [2021]
   Keywords : skyddade områden; Aichimål 11; EU; IUCN; protected areas; Aichi goal 11;

   Abstract : För att försöka stoppa förlusten av biodiversitet har internationella mål och direktiv satts upp, såsom Aichimål 11 och art- och habitatdirektivet, med intentionerna och kraven att de ska implementeras på nationell nivå. Det gör så att internationell statistik förs över länders framsteg och hur långt de lyckats med att uppnå tidigare nämnda mål och direktiv. READ MORE
