    Author : Julia Siegel; [2023]
    Keywords : Epiphytic lichens; Tree characteristics; Habitat characteristics; Oak; Biodiversity; Natural values; Light availability;

    Author : Olga Teresa Wepryk; [2023]
    Keywords : forest fire; forest fuel; fire weather; ignition experiments; prescribed burning;

    Abstract : Fire activity is influenced by weather and climate, fuels, ignition agents, and human activities. Fire suppression policy in Sweden resulted in a gradual decrease in the annually burnt areas, changes in fuel loads and a decline in species diversity. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Combined Influences of Canopy Openness, Browsing Protection, and Low Intensity Fire on the Natural Regeneration of Oak in Southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Benjamin Miles; [2022]
    Keywords : burn; browsing; disturbance; fire; light; oak; Q.robur; Q.petraea; ungulates;

    Abstract : Whilst oak was historically prevalent in the landscape of temperate Europe, changes in the disturbance regime of forests have led to limited regeneration across its distribution. In this study, the fire oak hypothesis is tested to assess the tolerance of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea recruits (seedlings and saplings) to a low intensity burn, and how this response may differ depending on the presence of browsing and canopy openness.
