1. Biodiversity in fragmented boreal forests : assessing the past, the present and the future
Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis are to (1) analyze the predictability (indicators) of plant and fungal species diversity in old-growth forests, and (2) assess the history and biodiversity of woodland key habitats (WKHs) and their potential to maintain species diversity in fragmented boreal forest landscapes. Predictability was explored in Granlandet nature reserve, an unexploited landscape composed of discrete old-growth Picea forest patches of varying size isolated by wetland, reflecting conditions of insular biota at stochastic equilibrium.

2. Economic Implications of Corporate Social Responsibility and Responsible Investments
Sammanfattning : Paper 1 (with Catalin Starica): This study conducts an in-depth analysis of the association between a unique ten-dimensional set of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) scores and firm profitability, as measured by Return on Assets (ROA). We find that non-linear (semi or non-parametric) regression methods bring important improvements in explaining profitability relative to a classical linear approach. LÄS MER
3. Edge correction and regression models for quantifying single-tree influence on understory vegetation
Sammanfattning : The understory is the layer of vegetation in the forest situated under the canopies of the trees. Some species of understory vegetation benefit from the surrounding trees, e.g by the provided nutrients, while others are restricted, e.g. LÄS MER
4. Data driven modeling in the presence of time series structure: : Improved bounds and effective algorithms
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five appended papers devoted to modeling tasks where the desired models are learned from data sets with an underlying time series structure. We develop a statistical methodology for providing efficient estimators and analyzing their non-asymptotic behavior. LÄS MER
5. Experimentell bestämning av klimatanpassning hos tall (Pinus silvestris L. och Pinus contorta Dougl.)
Sammanfattning : This paper summarizes the content of three articles published in Studia Forestalia Suecica 80,81,82, 1970.A study of the annual grouuth rhythm on 2-, 3- and 20-year-old Pinus silvestris and 2-year-old Pinus contorta showed that the following methods can be used for experimental assessment of the climatic adaptation of populations and single trees: shoot- and needle elongation, bark colour onterminal, lignification of annual ring and water content of needles.
