1. Baltic Sea phytoplankton in a changing environment
Sammanfattning : Future climate scenarios in the Baltic Sea project increasing sea surface temperature, as well as increasing precipitation and river runoff resulting in decreased salinity. These changes can severely impact the dynamics and function of brackish water communities, specifically phytoplankton. LÄS MER
2. Ecology of lichens in boreal coniferous forests with reference to spatial and temporal patterns
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with the ecology of lichens in two contrasting types of forest, epiphytic lichens in old Picea abies forest of the fi re-refugia type and epigeic as well as epixylic lichens in a successional sequence of fire- susceptible Pinus sylvestris forests. Results in five separate papers form the basis for a discussion of general patterns of dispersal, succession and life strategies in lichens. LÄS MER
3. Interactions between natural enemies and the dioecious herb Silene dioica
Sammanfattning : About 6% of all angiosperms are dioecious. This separation of sexual function to male and female individuals, and the fundamentally different patterns of reproductive resource allocation that follows that separation, are thought to have important ecological and evolutionary consequences for plant enemy interactions.

4. Long-term studies of succession : Colonisation and seed banks
Sammanfattning : Using data from long-term studies of the vegetation in two areas under primary succession, patterns of colonisation and the accumulated seed bank during plant succession were studied.At century-old small islands in Lake Hjälmaren, Sweden, the genetic structure of differently old populations of Moehringia trinervia and Lythrum salicaria was studied, using allozyme variation for M.

5. Vegetationssuccessioner - med speciell referens till Kvikkjokkdeltat
Sammanfattning : Clement's holological and Gleason's mereological approach about plant successions are. discussed. Ecological succession is here defined as a directed change of the space in time and is identified by immigration and extinction of populations. Establishment is a central process in all plant successions. LÄS MER
