  2. 1. Boreal vegetation responses to forestry as reflected in field trial and survey data

    Author : Johan Bergstedt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Logging; boreal forest; selective cutting; scarification; ground-layer flora; survey data;

    Abstract : This thesis had two objectives: the first objective was to evaluate the response of forest ground vegetation to selected forestry operations, i.e. cutting of different intensities and scarification; the second objective was to compare the use of survey data in vegetation research with that of more traditional research using field trials - i.e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Boreal vegetation responses to forestry as reflected in field trial and survey data and the quality of cover estimates and presence/absence in vegetation inventory

    Author : Johan Bergstedt; Per Milberg; Göran Ståhl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boreal forest; cutting intensity; scarification; cover estimates; presence absence; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestisk ekologi;

    Abstract : Den här avhandlingen belyser hur avverkning och markberedning påverkar markfloran i den svenska barrskogen. Dessutom utvärderas två inventeringsmetoder som används inom växtekologin. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nitrogen in soil water of coniferous forests : effects of anthropogenic disturbances

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

    Abstract : In boreal and temperate forests, long-term elevated nitrogen (N) load may eventually saturate forest ecosystems with N, i.e. total N ecosystem input exceed ecosystem sinks for N, and N losses via soil water transport may then increase and negatively impact environmental quality.

  6. 4. Population Dynamics and Conservation of the Sand Lizard (Lacerta agilis) on the Edge of its Range

    Author : Sven-Åke Berglind; Pekka Pamilo; Per Sjögren-Gulve; Coulson Tim; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; demography; extinction; habitat; Lacerta agilis; management; metapopulation; peripheral populations; population dynamics; population viability analysis; reintroduction; reptiles; umbrella species; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) reaches the northern periphery of its distribution in south-central Sweden, where small, isolated relict populations occur in pine heath forests on sandy sediments. Modern forestry and fire suppression have reduced the amount of suitable open habitat for the species in this area and seem to be important for its decline. READ MORE

  7. 5. Natural regeneration and management of birch

    Author : Felicia Dahlgren Lidman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis offers guidance for those who want to naturally establish, maintain and manage birch in monocultures and mixed stands. Silver and downy birch are the most common broadleaf tree species in northern Europe. In Sweden, the two species together make up approximately 12% of the standing forest volume. READ MORE
