  1. 1. Seasonal variation of LAI in Swedish coniferous forest

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ilia Mastepanov; [2023]
    Keywords : leaf area index; LAI; PAR; forest; coniferous forest; Hyltemossa; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Leaf Area Index (LAI) is quantity representing the amount of foliage in the canopy, which makes it an important parameter for analysing terrestrial ecosystems. Traditional methods of measuring LAI were done by analysing hemispherical photographs by hand and were very time consuming, requiring specific weather conditions (Jonckheere et al. 2004). READ MORE

    Author : Lukas Holmström; [2016]
    Keywords : enrichment planting; seedling survival; seedling height; dipterocarp; light; stödplantering; plantprestanda; överlevnad; höjd; dipterocarp; ljuskvantitet;

    Abstract : Enrichment plantings are a common way to restore structures and diversity lost through degradation of tropical rainforests. Large areas are degraded every year, and although disturbance over large areas seldom are homogenous, few, if any studies have compared effects of enrichment planting treatments in forests with varying degradation.
