  1. 1. Mountain vegetation in the Faroe Islands in a climate change perspective

    Författare :Anna Maria Fosaa; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; klimatologi; marklära; Växtekologi; Fysisk geografi; climatology; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; climate change.; Physical geography; Raunkiær´s life-forms; biodiversity; Vegetation zones; plant communities; Plant ecology; kartografi; geomorfologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is a study of the mountain vegetation in the Faroe Islands based on five altitudinal transects sampled during the period 1999-2001. The vegetation was studied on the basis of plant communities, life-forms and biodiversity of vascular plant species and is discussed in a climate change perspective. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Grow with the flow : Hydrological controls of riparian vegetation in boreal stream networks

    Författare :Lenka Kuglerová; Roland Jansson; Hjalmar Laudon; Birgitta Malm-Renöfält; John Stella; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forest; channelization; groundwater; Krycklan catchment; liverworts; mosses; riparian buffers; riparian vegetation; river restoration; species richness; stream network; stream size; vascular plants;

    Sammanfattning : What drives species diversity across landscapes is one of the most fundamental questions in ecology. Further, understanding the mechanisms underlying species diversity patterns is important not only for forming and challenging ecological theories but also essential for appropriate landscape management and effective nature conservation.

  4. 3. Vegetation patterns and processes in riparian landscapes

    Författare :Birgitta Malm Renöfält; Christer Nilsson; Peter Edwards; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this study was to increase understanding of the processes structuring and controlling the species richness of riparian plant communities. In particular, I examined the unimodal relationship, found in many rivers, between plant species richness and location along the river corridor. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Fire history in the hemiboreal and southern boreal zones of southern Sweden during 11000 years : Relationships with past vegetation composition and human activities and implications for biodiversity issues

    Författare :Qiao-Yu Cui; Marie-José Gaillard; Boris Vannière; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fire history; land-use history; biodiversity; charcoal analysis; Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm LRA ; Holocene; Småland; Sweden; Paleoecology; Paleoekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis studies fire history over the last 11 000 years (Holocene) in central Småland, southern Sweden, on the basis of palaeoecological analyses of peat sequences from three small bogs (Notteryd, Stavsåkra and Storasjö). The main objective is to gain insights into the long-term relationships between fire, climate, human-impact, other environmental factors and the history of biodiversity in the study region. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Present and Past Coastal Dune Environments of South Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

    Författare :Sonia L. Fontana; Keith D. Bennett; Sara C. Ballent; Marie-José Gaillard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quaternary geology; pollen; ostracods; dune vegetation; Holocene; Buenos Aires Province; Argentina; Kvartärgeologi; Quaternary geology; Kvartärgeologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to describe present and past coastal dune environments in southern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The present vegetation of a dune system and its zonation are described on the basis of air photographs, physiognomy of the dune system and floristic composition. LÄS MER
