  1. 1. Spridning av mjöldryga genom renkavle

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Hugo Lomander; [2023]
    Keywords : Alopecurus myosuroides Huds; Claviceps purpurea Tul; gräs; gräsblandningar; gräskanter; höstsådd; höstvete; kantzoner; klimat; väder;

    Abstract : Mjöldryga (Claviceps purpurea Tul.) är en svampsjukdom som leder till stora skador på framför allt råg och vete. Den är vanligt förekommande i Europa och befaras öka i framtiden. Renkavle (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds. READ MORE

  3. 2. Insects in conifer logs : their association to the polypore fungi Amyloporia sinuosa, A. xantha and Neoantrodia serialis and impact of aggregations of wood

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Tore Dahlberg; [2023]
    Keywords : polypores; dead wood volume; Amyloporia sinuosa; A. xantha; Neoantrodia serialis; Nemapogon fungivorellus; Agnathosia sandoeensis;

    Abstract : A large number of insects are associated with polypores. They can be monophagous, polyphagous and use several fungal hosts, or be parasites on the insects utilize the fungus. The insect assemblage for some polypores is well investigated but there is still a lack of knowledge for many species. READ MORE

  4. 3. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession

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

    Author : August Hedberg; Julian Säflund; [2023]
    Keywords : primary succession; succession; ectomycorrhiza; saprotroph; tree growth; Pinus sylvestris; soil fungi;

    Abstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE

  5. 4. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
