1. 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 geovetenskaper

   Author : Hanna Berglund; [2020]
   Keywords : Soil Activity; Bait Lamina Stick;

   Abstract : 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

4. 3. Effects of altered precipitation regimes on bryophyte carbon dynamics in a Peruvian tropical montane cloud forest

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Jenny Ahlstrand; [2016]
   Keywords : precipitation; tropical mountain cloud forest; Bryophytes; Peru; carbon dynamics; physical geography and ecosystem science; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) are unique ecosystems that are frequently surrounded by clouds which increase humidity and promote the growth of bryophytes. Several dimensions of humidity are important for the carbon dynamics of bryophytes. Climate change is therefore projected to have a large impact on them as well as on the TMCF itself. READ MORE

5. 4. Hur påverkar tillgången på ljus höjdtillväxten hos planterade regnskogsträd i en sekundär regnskog på Borneo?

   Keywords : ljus; höjdtillväxt; sekundär regnskog; pionjärarter; klimaxarter; skogsrehabilitering;

   Abstract : 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.
