  1. 1. Optimal thinning : a theoretical investigation on individual-tree level

    Författare :Peter Fransson; Åke Brännström; Ola Lindroos; Oskar Franklin; Per Lundberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Forest management; Simulation; Optimization; Spatially explicit model; Individual-based model;

    Sammanfattning : Paper I: In paper I, we asked how a tree should optimally allocate its resources to maximize its fitness. We let a subject tree grow in an environment shaded by nearby competing trees. The competitors were assumed to have reached maturity and had stopped growing, thus creating a static light environment for the subject tree to grow in. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Evaluating thinning practices and assessment methods for improved management in coniferous production forests in southern Sweden

    Författare :Magnus Persson; Johan Bergh; Lauri Mehtätalo; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; thinning; within-stand variation; tree species classification; Scots pine; Norway spruce; Sentinel-2; Heureka; Precision forestry; thinning detection; basal area; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Most of our knowledge about wood production of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and associated silvicultural guidelines are based on field experiments. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effects of forest management on greenhouse gas fluxes in a boreal forest

    Författare :Patrik Vestin; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :Forest management; Greenhouse gas fluxes; Clear-cutting; Thinning; Stump harvesting; Selective cutting; Eddy-covariance; Flux-gradient; Greenhouse gas budgets; CO2; CH4; N2O;

    Sammanfattning : Forest ecosystems cover 31% of the terrestrial land area and store large amounts of carbon in biomass and in soils. The 2015 Paris Agreement recognizes the importance of sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in forests and the importance of enhancing them through sustainable forest management policies.

  5. 4. Predator effects on behaviour and life-history of prey

    Författare :Tomas Brodin; Frank Johansson; Bradley Anholt; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; activity; behaviour; behavioural syndromes; damselfly; development; growth; life-history; predator-prey interaction; predation risk; thinning; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I investigate predator-induced effects on behavioural and life-history characteristics of prey. At any moment a given predator is capable of attacking a small number of prey. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Injectable Composite Hydrogels Based on Metal-Ligand Assembly for Biomedical Applications

    Författare :Liyang Shi; Jöns Hilborn; Dmitri Ossipov; Wenxin Wang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; injectable; hydrogel; shear-thinning; self-healing; coordination chemistry; biomedical applications;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents new strategies to construct injectable hydrogels and their various biomedical applications, such as 3D printing, regenerative medicine and drug delivery. These hydrogels cross-linked by dynamic metal-ligand coordination bonds exhibit shear-thinning and self-healing properties, resulting in the unlimited time window for injection. LÄS MER
