    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Linus Olsson; Erik Månsson; [2023]
    Keywords : snabbväxande; lövträd;

    Abstract : Forskning angående poppel finns i dagsläget i mindre omfattning. Poppeln befinner sig i grundforskningsstadie och mer kunskap behövs för att bemästra ”Sveriges eukalyptus”. I studien har det utförts insamling av datamaterial från poppelbestånd som vuxit på två olika marktyper i Götaland. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ecological and Edaphic Correlations of Soil Invertebrate Community Structure in Dry Upland Forests of Eastern Africa

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Karl Mauritsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Natural forests; plantation forests; Brachylaena-Croton forest; Cupressus lusitanica; Eucalyptus paniculata; exotic species; biodiversity; soil invertebrates; Berlese-Tullgren funnel; vertical structure; vegetation cover; vegetation density; litter quality; edaphic factors; soil pH; soil temperature; soil moisture; ANOVA; Multiple Linear Regression; Akaike’s Information Criterion;

    Abstract : Natural forests are characterised by great vegetation diversity and create habitats for a major part of Earth’s terrestrial organisms. Plantation forests, which are mainly composed of a few genera of fast-growing trees, constitute an increasing fraction of global forests, but they only partly compensate for loss of area, habitat and ecological functions in natural forests.

  5. 4. Performance of tree stem isolation algorithms for terrestrial laser scanning point clouds

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Tiago De Conto; [2016]
    Keywords : LiDAR; cylinder circle fit; taper; tropical and boreal tree species; robust estimation;

    Abstract : LiDAR sensors present increasing popularity in the Forestry sector, due to its capability of acquiring high resolution three dimensional data of the forest, useful to a variety of applications. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) consists of a way to collect large amounts of forest data at the plot level, making further 3D modelling and tree reconstruction possible, thus allowing foresters to extract dendrometric variables with high accuracy from those point clouds.
