1. 1. Can the disappearance of the forest orchid Goodyera repens be linked to clearcutting? : a spatial analysis using citizen science data from southern Sweden.

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Ines Diaz Garcia; [2024]
   Keywords : Goodyera repens; knärot; Artportalen; forestry; clearcut; citizen science; southern Sweden; conservation;

   Abstract : Habitat transformation through forestry has an impact on boreal species in northern Europe. In Sweden, even-aged plantations with clearcut harvesting are forestry practices that affect the understory vegetation. This study focuses on the red-listed Goodyera repens, a rhizomatous evergreen orchid. READ MORE

3. 2. Assessing tree modeling algorithm from terrestrial laser scanning in Rumperöd mixed forest

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Stig Sand; [2023]
   Keywords : Terrestrial laser scanning; Hough transform algorithm; TreeLS; Rumperöd; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Recent technological advancements have revolutionized tree inventory methods for the forest industry. The development of terrestrial laser scanning (TSL) and automatized tree recognition software to estimate crucial tree parameters such as diameter at breast height (DBH) has made the inventory work faster and more reliable.

4. 3. Riparian vegetation ecology : an observational study into the effects of forest management on understory vegetation communities along boreal headwaters

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

   Author : Ruben Jonathan Baan Hofman; [2023]
   Keywords : riparian forest; forest management; understory vegetation; headwater streams; community ecology;

   Abstract : Riparian forests along headwater streams have long been recognized for their role as an interface between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. The over- and understory vegetation performs essential ecological and biochemical functions, which are important for stream functions. READ MORE

   Keywords : passive acoustic monitoring; bioindicator; chiroptera; audioMoth; trophic rewilding;

   Abstract : Ecosystem restoration through the reintroduction of grazers is gaining interest across Europe. Large herbivores are associated with landscape heterogeneity, restoration of trophic cascades and biodiversity. READ MORE

6. 5. Management and site conditions drive carbon dynamics of Forest understory vegetation

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Emily Delin; [2021]
   Keywords : carbon sequestration; forest floor vegetation; ground vegetation; mixed model; Sweden;

   Abstract : The forest understory vegetation is largely disregarded in studies of carbon sequestration despite notable contribution to storage and cycling in the ecosystem. In addition to already lacking knowledge on this pool independently, further uncertainty and change is introduced by forest management and the changing climate. READ MORE
