1. Treeline dynamics in short and long term perspectives : observational and historical evidence from the southern Swedish Scandes
Sammanfattning : Against the background of past, recent and future climate change, the present thesis addresses elevational shifts of alpine treelines in the Swedish Scandes. By definition, treeline refers to the elevation (m a.s.l. LÄS MER
2. Treeline dynamics in short and long term perspectives : observational and historical evidence from the southern Swedish Scandes
Sammanfattning : Treelines in high-mountain regions are constrained by heat deficiency, although the working mechanisms are still not entirely understood. Observational and paleoecological studies on treeline performance may contribute to increased understanding of the treeline phenomenon in general. LÄS MER
3. Change and stability in the altitude of the birch tree-limit in the southern Swedish Scandes 1915-1975

4. Nature conservation, landscape change and indigenous rights : The role of Sámi reindeer herding for environmental objectives in the Swedish mountain landscape
Sammanfattning : The 14th Swedish national environmental objective, ‘a Magnificent Mountain Landscape’, requires a mountain landscape characterized by reindeer grazing. The Swedish mountains landscape, part of the Scandes, has been shaped by traditional indigenous Sámi reindeer herding and its grazed environments are dependent on reindeer. LÄS MER
5. The sensitivity of Swedish alpine lakes to hydro-climatic changes during the Late Holocene
Sammanfattning : The thesis objective is to use lake sediments to investigate the relationships between chironomids, as proxy for temperature, and δ18O and minerogenic in-wash, as precipitation proxies, in northern Sweden during the Late Holocene. Three lakes along a N–S transect in the Scandes were studied using biological, geochemical and physical sediment properties, together with numerical methods. LÄS MER
