   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

3. 2. Effects of soil factors on pioneer bryophyte species composition

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

   Author : Dora Mijić; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Bryophytes play a significant role in various ecological processes, including soil succession and colonization after disturbances. Although they are commonly believed to take up nutrients from soil solutions rather than the soil itself, the influence of soil on their growth and distribution is evident from previous studies.
