  3. 2. Effects of population size, density and local environment on the population dynamics of the fragrant orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Kasper Kupka; [2021]
    Keywords : Demography; Gymnadenia conopsea; local habitat; matrix models; orchids; population density; population size; stochastic growth rate; soil organic matter; quasi-extinction probability;

    Abstract : A wide majority of orchid populations are decreasing due to habitat fragmentation and to changes in land management. Population size, density and habitat quality are factors that are expected to be positively related to the viability and future growth of a population. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Laboratory-Scale Examination to Find an Optimal Application for a Groundwater Barrier Well

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära
