1. The hidden half of the meadow : Interactions between drought, soil carbon, roots and soil microbial communities
Sammanfattning : Soil is a hidden ecosystem which harbours plant roots and countless microorganisms, vital for sustaining life aboveground. These belowground communities provide essential ecosystem services like soil stabilisation and organic matter decomposition. LÄS MER
2. Linking root traits and plant-soil feedbacks to environmental change in the sub-arctic tundra
Sammanfattning : Plant community assembly processes shape the composition and abundances of species, and encompass functional traits and resource acquisition strategy of species, biotic interactions and abiotic filtering. Hence, an understanding of these complex processes requires disentangling the effects of multiple factors influencing plant community assembly. LÄS MER
3. Associations among early-season root and shoot traits, nutrient use efficiency and grain yield of spring wheat
Sammanfattning : Nutrient-efficient and high-yielding spring wheat is needed in high-latitude regions. The aims of this thesis were: (1) to evaluate the effects of soil compaction and differential weather conditions on plant growth and grain yield, (2) to identify critical nutrient elements limiting plant growth and grain yield, and (3) to identify root and shoot traits at an early growth stage (early vigor) influencing nutrient use efficiency and grain yield of spring wheat.

4. Priming of carbon and nitrogen mineralization in forest soils
Sammanfattning : Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) contributes significantly to the global carbon (C) cycle and climate feedbacks. SOM decomposition depends on soil microbial activities, and these activities are driven by the availability of C and other nutrients. LÄS MER
5. Heterobasidion root rot : genetic mapping of virulence and evolutionary history
Sammanfattning : Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. sensu lato (s.l. LÄS MER
