   Abstract : 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

3. 2. Phoma i skogsplantskolor : Fylogenetisk karakterisering av Phoma herbarum från svenska skogsplantor

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Stina Åström; [2023]
   Keywords : Phoma; skogspatogen; multilokusfylogeni; molekylär fylogeni;

   Abstract : Svenska forskare har märkt av en ökning bland Phoma infekterade skogsplantor från plantskolor runt om i landet. Både skott och rötter från tidigare undersökning har detekterats infekterade med svampar från släktet Phoma.

   Keywords : Specific leaf area; understorey vegetation; foundation species; forest structure; climate change;

   Abstract : Forest overstorey's interaction with understorey vegetation is a crucial aspect that impacts the biodiversity and resilience of forest ecosystems. Particularly, the influence of the overstorey on the specific leaf area (SLA) in understorey plants remains poorly understood. READ MORE

5. 4. N2 fixation of three legume species in an agroforestry system

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Hsiang-Ju Fan; [2023]
   Keywords : nitrogen; dinitrogen fixation; legumes; groundnut; stylo; pinto peanut; understorey crop;

   Abstract : Due to the strong soil erosion caused by agricultural activities and sloping landscape, agroforestry has been introduced as a potentially sustainable cropping practice in the mountainous NW Vietnam. Using legumes as understorey crops in these systems has a potential to limit erosion and smother weeds, as well as provide additional nitrogen (N) to the system. READ MORE
