  1. 1. Can precommercial thinning be used to create more diversity after planting spruce?

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Astrid Bygge; [2024]
    Keywords : Forestry; pre-commercial; stand structure; heterogeneity; silviculture; mixed forests; monoculture; Picea abies; Betula spp.;

    Abstract : Mixed forests will harbour other ecosystem services than a planted coniferous monoculture. This study used early results from a long-term experiment to examine if different precommercial thinning treatments can be used to increase diversity in planted stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies) mixed with high densities of natural regeneration of birch (Betula spp. READ MORE

  3. 2. Consequences of alternative forest management in riparian buffer zones : a GIS analysis

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

    Author : Elijah Ourth; [2023]
    Keywords : Riparian buffer zones; Continuous cover forestry; CCF; Hyggesfritt; Geographical information system; Ditch network maintenance; Ditch; Stream; Natural channel;

    Abstract : With increasing pressure from policymakers and the general public to conduct alternative forest management throughout the European Union (EU), Sweden needs to find ways to best prioritize the implementation of this alternative management. Alternative management is a term used to describe alternative management methods to clear-cut rotation forestry and can include silvicultural methods such as continuous cover forestry, management increasing proportion tree diversity and presence of broadleaves, and extended rotation lengths.

  4. 3. Foliar fungal communities of naturally regenerated and nursery-produced Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Sara López Fernández; [2023]
    Keywords : Endophytes; high-throughput sequencing; foliar fungi; forest nursery; fungal community; fungal pathogens; metabarcoding; mycobiome; Pinus sylvestris; pine seedlings; Scots pine needles;

    Abstract : Endophytic fungal communities living in leaves of trees can have a significant impact on their hosts,showing both beneficial and detrimental effects. Some mutualistic fungal species protect the host against pathogens or herbivores, while pathogenic species can increase the vulnerability of the host against biotic and abiotic stresses. READ MORE

  5. 4. Konsekvensanalyser av skötsel på lågproduktiva torvmarker - Ur ett skogsägarperspektiv

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Resource Management

    Author : Olof Skoglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Torvmark; skogsskötsel; nuvärdesoptimering; potentiella naturvärden; Heureka;

    Abstract : Sverige består idag av 1,7 miljoner hektar produktiv torvmark. Tall på torvmark finns utspritt i hela landet och växer oftast på lågproducerande torvmarker, där gränsen mellan produktiv torvmark och impediment kan vara svår att dra. READ MORE

  6. 5. Correlation between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of reindeer pasture plants : Korrelation mellan Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) och smältbarhet av renbetesväxter i vomvätska in vitro (VOS)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Jannica Helmersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI; in vitro organic matter digestibility; IVOMD; VOS; caribou; Rangifer tarandus; reindeer pasture plants; drone;

    Abstract : Renen livnär sig på många olika betesväxter och den följer växtfenologins utveckling under barmarkssäsongen, vilket resulterar i högkvalitativt foderintag. Levande växtbiomassa kan uppskattas på landskapsnivå genom att använda vegetationsindex som värderar vegetation utifrån spektrala mätningar. READ MORE
