  1. 16. Boreal Forest Wildfire in a Changing Climate

    Författare :Johan Eckdahl; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forest wildfire; carbon emissions; nutrient cycling; nitrogen; microbial community; plant community; climate chnge; secondary succession; Sweden; Fennoscandia; biodiversity; boreal skogsbrand; koldioxiduttsläpp; näringscykling; kväve; mirkobiellt samhälle; växtsamhälle; klimatförändring; sekundär succession; sverige; Fennoskandien; biologisk mångfald;

    Sammanfattning : The boreal region contains 40% of the earth’s carbon (C) that is stored in vegetation and soils with its forests accounting for almost 30% of the terrestrial C sink. Boreal forests are experiencing some of the most rapid rates of climatic warming and increases in fire activity, threatening to release large amounts of their dense C reserves to the atmosphere.

  3. 17. Restoration of semi-natural grasslands : Impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services and stakeholder perceptions

    Författare :Emelie Waldén; Regina Lindborg; Sara A O Cousins; Erik Öckinger; Aveliina Helm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biodiversity; Ecosystem services; Farmer; Landscape ecology; Plant; Policy; Restoration; Semi-natural grassland; Biologisk mångfald; Ekosystemtjänster; Landskapsekologi; Lantbrukare; Naturbetesmark; Policy; Restaurering; Växter; Äng; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Humans play a major role shaping the living conditions for not only ourselves, but also all other species on Earth. In fact, some species-rich habitat types require human management to uphold the biodiversity and related ecosystem services. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Ecology of parasitoids and their hosts in oilseed rape fields

    Författare :Josef Berger; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; parasitoids; herbivores; oilseed rape; pollen beetle; cabbage stem weevil; parasitoid community; niche separation; landscape scale; community composition; landscape configuration; Species abundance distribution SAD models; dispersal; metacommunity;

    Sammanfattning : Oilseed rape fields are a very common crop in the agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, and they can harbour surprisingly many insect species. Some of them are herbivores that feed on various parts of the oilseed rape plant, others are natural enemies of the herbivores, and even more species are tourists from the surrounding landscape.

  5. 19. Factors Affecting Rates of Change in Soil Bacterial Communities

    Författare :Marie Pettersson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Plant ecology; Växtekologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; DGGE; PLFA; TdR-incorporation; function; structure; tolerance; adaptation; pH; soil bacterial community; temperature;

    Sammanfattning : The soil bacterial community is under the constant influence of its environment. Changing any of the factors affecting the bacterial community will induce a selection pressure which, with time, will change the community. In this work the effect of changing the temperature or pH on the soil bacterial community was studied. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Responses of boreal forest understory plant communities to climate and forestry

    Författare :Ditte Marie Christiansen; Kristoffer Hylander; Johan Ehrlén; Signe Normand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forests; bryophytes; climate; climate change; community temperature index; demography; forest management; microclimate; plants; species interactions; species distributions; time-lags; transplant experiment; understory communities; Ecology and Evolution; ekologi och evolution;

    Sammanfattning : A warming climate is altering species distributions and community compositions. To understand and predict changes in species distributions to climate change, we often use species occurrences together with large-scale regional climate data. This can be problematic for several reasons. LÄS MER
