1. Forest edge development
Abstract : This thesis investigates design guidelines and management systems for the development of stationary forest edges with a graded profile in infrastructure and urban environments. The spatial restriction for the edge to move forward caused by human land use counteracts the natural dynamics and development patterns of graded forest edges. READ MORE

2. Old-Growth Forests in the High Coast Region in Sweden and Active Management in Forest Set-Asides
University dissertation from Sundsvall : Mid Sweden UniversityAbstract : In today´s intensively managed landscape, very few forests with old-growth characteristics and little human impact exist. One of the rare exceptions is pine forests on rocky soils, a forest type which has probably escaped extensive human use because of its low productivity. READ MORE

3. Biomass Retrieval in Topographic Boreal Forest using Polarimetric and Tomographic SAR in P- and L-band
University dissertation from ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; GothenburgAbstract : Forests and their associated habitats are an integral part of Earth's biosphere and provide essential environmental services. There is an ever present need for accurate and economic monitoring of forest parameters such as biomass - of great interest both locally, for forest management and resource utilization, and globally as it represents stored atmospheric CO2 and one of the largest uncertainties in climate modelling.

4. Forest-stream linkages Experimental studies of foraging and growth of brown trout (Salmo trutta L)
University dissertation from Fakulteten för samhälls- och livsvetenskaperAbstract : Riparian vegetation along streams and rivers affects the aquatic community in numerous ways and often operates as a link for energy flux between forest and streams. The studies presented in this licentiate thesis focus on light and terrestrial invertebrates, two factors influenced by riparian zone structure, which potentially affect stream ecosystems and thus also brown trout (Salmo trutta).

5. Spatial problems in long-term forest planning
University dissertation from Fakulteten för samhälls- och livsvetenskaperAbstract : In modern forest planning, it is important to account for the value of timber production and for other values of the forest. Important factors such as the protection of biodiversity, recreational use and traditional uses of forests are often connected to specific places in forests, or to the spatial structure of the forests.
