1. 1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting

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

   Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2024]
   Keywords : artificial waterways; riparian zone; novel ecosystems; ; forestry; ditch network maintenance; species richness; hill-diversity; drainage ditches; coarse woody debris; ditch cleaning; ecology;

   Abstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

3. 2. Dynamic minimum flows in the bypass reach of Juktån : A post-implementation evaluation of the effects on riparian vegetation

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Walter Gezelius Gezelius; [2024]
   Keywords : Restoration; Environmental flows; riparian vegetation;

   Abstract : The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the effects of the restoration efforts in Juktån on the plant species richness and composition, vegetation zonation and soil composition. The restoration involved implementation of a dynamic flow, in addition to hydro-geomorphological alterations. READ MORE

4. 3. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
   Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

   Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

   Abstract : Urbanisering, bostadsbrist och klimatförändringar är några av de faktorer som ställer högre krav på våra städer idag. Samhällen byggs i och med detta tätare och är i ständig omvandling för att anpassa sig till de problem som städerna ställs inför. I takt med urbaniseringen begränsas utrymmen till grönytor och grönska. READ MORE

6. 5. Wetland restoration on Öland : a short-term evaluation of vascular plant community composition after topsoil removal and reinstated grazing

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Marta Holmlund; [2023]
   Keywords : wetland restoration; vegetation; biodiversity; topsoil removal; Ellenberg indicator values;

   Abstract : Wetlands are recognized as important types of ecosystems, inhabiting rich biodiversity and performing multiple ecosystem services. However, many have been lost because of anthropogenic activities and a majority of the remaining wetland habitats are in bad conditions, displaying both loss of functionality and biodiversity.
