  2. 1. Spatial Variation in Near-Ground Radiation and Low Temperature - Interactions with Forest Vegetation

    Author : Kristina Blennow; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; light interception; hemispherical photograph; growth; forest fragmentation; fluorescence; cold-induced photoinhibition; GIS; view factor; radiative cooling; frost protection; agro-climatic mapping; forest clear-cut; local climate; Microclimate; Physical geography; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi;

    Abstract : Low temperature has a large impact on the survival and distribution of plants. Interactive effects with high irradiance lead to cold-induced photoinhibition, which may impact on the establishment and growth of tree seedlings. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hybrid growth models for Norway spruce and Scots pine: Using leaf area and light use efficiency for predicting stemwood production

    Author : Martin Goude; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : With a changing climate, it has become more challenging to make long-term sustainable forest management decisions because many models and planning systems have difficulties accounting for the effects of climate change. One way to improve these tools is to include ecophysiological variables that respond to changes in weather and climate. READ MORE

  5. 3. Growth trends and site productivity in boreal forests under management and environmental change: insights from long-term surveys and experiments in Sweden

    Author : Alex Appiah Mensah; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Under a changing climate, current tree and stand growth information is indispensable to the carbon sink strength of boreal forests. Important questions regarding tree growth are to what extent have management and environmental change influenced it, and how it might respond in the future. READ MORE
