6. Exploiting plant defenses to protect conifer seedlings against pine weevils
Sammanfattning : Sweden is one of the top five countries having large planted forest areas, and here the forests are maintained by clear-cut regime, which also promotes the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis), a major threat to Swedish planted coniferous regeneration. Given interest in developing sustainable forest management practices, efficient non-insecticide alternatives are highly demanded to tackle the pine weevil problem. LÄS MER
7. Interactions between ants and pine weevils : effects on forest regeneration
Sammanfattning : Ants interact with plants in various ways and ant presence on plants can decrease local abundance or activity of herbivores, which in turn increases plant fitness. Red wood ants (Formica rufa group) are common species in forests of northern Europe. LÄS MER
8. Regeneration methods and long-term production for Scots pine on medium fertile and fertile sites
Sammanfattning : Tree species choice is a central issue for forest management, and survey studies show that urgent improvements in regeneration practices are needed in Sweden. Most Swedish forest is regenerated with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) or Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. LÄS MER
9. Microbes Associated with Hylobius abietis : A Chemical and Behavioral Study
Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on three inter-related studies: the first part deals with the microbial consortium, the identification of microbes and their volatiles, the second part deals with the study of bio-chemical control methods of two conifer pests; the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.) and the root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp. LÄS MER
10. Improving boreal forest regeneration in a variable climate
Sammanfattning : Regeneration of boreal forests in Sweden mainly involves planting Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings on clear-cut areas, although there is an increasing interest in planting broadleaves and in applying continuous cover forestry (CCF). LÄS MER
