1. Trends in mountain birch seed abundance and its relation to temperature and moth abundance: a ten-year study from Swedish Lapland
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : Boreal forest is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Being one of the most ubiquitous and coldtolerant tree species in Sweden, the mountain birch forms a unique deciduous treeline and marks the forest-tundra ecotone. READ MORE

4. Sediment transport in small streams is related to riparian buffer width : a comparison between wide and narrow riparian buffers
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : This study aims to provide information about how different widths of riparian buffers affect the quantity and quality of sediments transported in a small stream after a clear – cut harvest. Small streams have critical influences on downstream rivers and excessive transported sediments can have large negative effects on the aquatic system. READ MORE

5. Fragmentation in graupel snow collisions
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Aircraft observations of precipitating clouds with cloud top temperatures higher than -38°C have revealed that Secondary Ice Production (SIP) is responsible for presence of majority of ice particles. One such SIP mechanism is fragmentation via collisions between ice particles. READ MORE
