  1. 1. Uncovering climate and human signals in near-millennium annual fire chronology for Norrbotten county, Northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Agnieszka Jabłońska; [2021]
    Keywords : Dendrochronology; forest fire history; climate; human impact; boreal forests;

    Abstract : Forest fire is one of the major factors driving the dynamics of the boreal forest. Climate has the most significant contribution in shaping the fire occurrence, its spatial extent and severity. Anthropogenic activities have contributed to variation in fire activity, although the timing and the scale of the human impact are still heavily debated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Lavspridning på hyggesbrända hyggen

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : David Persson; [2020]
    Keywords : artificiell; lavspridning; hygge; ren; renskötsel; renbete; hyggesbränning;

    Abstract : Den boreala skogen har under mycket lång tid präglats utav bränder. Innan människan började kontrollera skogsbränder var det en naturligt återkommande störning. Idag bekämpas och kontrolleras naturliga skogsbränder av människan för att skydda timmer i skogarna. READ MORE

  4. 3. Gallringens effekter på botten- och fältskikt i grandominerad produktionsskog : en studie av hur störning kan påverka β-diversitet i Norrland och Svealand

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : William Jaktén Langert; Andreas Widell; [2020]
    Keywords : biodiversitet; bottenskikt; fältskikt; störning; gallring; boreal skog;

    Abstract : Den boreala skogens beståndsstruktur har historiskt primärt präglats av brand, vilket skapat en flerskiktad beståndsstruktur. Störning är därför en avgörande faktor för artmångfald i dessa ekosystem. READ MORE

  5. 4. Community structure of polyporous fungi after wildfire in boreal forest

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Isak Vahlström; [2019]
    Keywords : biodiversity; community composition; natural disturbance; forest fire; polyporous fungi; ; wood-decaying fungi;

    Abstract : Wildfire is a natural disturbance that creates large amounts dead wood and contribute to a landscape of different successional stages, important for biodiversity. The number of wildfires have declined in boreal Fennoscandia due to effective fire suppression. READ MORE

  6. 5. Succession patterns and the role of fire in long-term dynamics of a mixed deciduous stand in Białowieża Forest, Poland

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Andreea Petronela Spinu; [2018]
    Keywords : dendroecology; disturbance regime; forest history; fire history; regeneration of Pinus sylvestris L.; regeneration of Quercus robur L.; temperate lowland Tilio-Carpinetum forest; mesophication; fire cessation;

    Abstract : In temperate Europe, the ecological importance of fire is poorly understood, especially in the dynamics of forests with high share of broadleaved tree species. The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of fire in a 43-ha mixed-deciduous forest stand in Białowieża Forest, NE Poland. READ MORE
