1. Biological Soil Invertebrate Activity in a Tropical Rainforest : A comparison of soil invertebrate activity in two tropical rain forests in Borneo
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Logging of tropical forests is increasing worldwide. Logging alters the forest conditions such as temperature, soil water content and litter input into the soil. This study explored how soil invertebrate activity in Borneo differs between pristine forests and two secondary forests, with 10 and 40 years of recovery time since the last logging. READ MORE

2. Above- and belowground carbon stocks and effects of enrichment planting in a tropical secondary lowland dipterocarp rainforest
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : The intact tropical rainforests are rapidly being degraded and subsequently converted to other land uses, with associated greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. It is imperative that the effects of such conversions and large-scale restoration efforts on forest structure and ecosystem services are understood to effectively be able to counteract the negative consequences of deforestation and forest degradation.

3. Degradation and restoration method interact to affect the performance of planted seedlings in tropical rainforest restoration : evidence from plant functional traits
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : A common action to improve or save biodiversity in the tropics is restoration of degraded rainforest. To understand the complex ecological structures of the forest and adapt the restoration actions after them, studies have focused on characterizing species with functional traits. READ MORE

4. Hur påverkar tillgången på ljus höjdtillväxten hos planterade regnskogsträd i en sekundär regnskog på Borneo?
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Regnskogen på Borneo är en av de artrikaste i världen men till följd av mänsklig aktivitet, såsom avverkning, har dessa ekosystem drabbats hårt. Naturlig återhämtning är svår då dessa störningsdrabbade områden missgynnar arter som tillhör områdets naturliga flora och därför finns det ett behov av aktiv rehabilitering av dessa skogar.

5. Rehabilitation in a tropical secondary rain forest in Malaysian Borneo : early effects of canopy properties on light conditions at the forest floor
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Tropisk regnskog i Sydostasien är ett av de områden som hyser störst biodiversitet i världen, av vilken stora ytor är hotat. Ön Borneo drabbades av en katastrof åren 1982-1983 efter att väderfenomenet El Niño orsakat torka med vidsträckta skogsbränder som följd. READ MORE
