11. Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Mycelial Dynamics and its Role in Forest Soil Carbon Cycling
Sammanfattning : Most boreal tree species rely on root-associated ectomycorrhizal fungi for nutrient acquisition, in exchange the trees allocate part of their photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) to these fungi. This has a feedback on soil C dynamics as mycorrhizal fungi are important in regulating soil C cycling and storage. LÄS MER
12. Harvesting in the boreal forest on soft ground : ways to reduce ground damage
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the studies underlying this thesis has been to acquire knowledge relating to potential methods of reducing both the amount and severity of ground damage caused by forest machinery used in the boreal forest. The work focused on technical solutions applied to the forwarders that had the potential to reduce ground damage such as rutting and soil compaction. LÄS MER
13. The role of biological processes in base cation supply in boreal forest podzols
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes experiments designed to improve understanding of biological processes contributing to supply of base cations and other nutrients in boreal forest podzols. We used microcosms containing tree seedlings growing in natural substrates, a combination of direct measurements, modelling, stable Mg isotope analysis, and 13CO2 pulse-labelling. LÄS MER
14. Forest floor vegetation in Sweden : impacts of intensified forestry, nutrient addition and changes in forest structure
Sammanfattning : In boreal forests, dwarf-shrubs (Vaccinium spp.) often dominate the forest floor and are key-stone species in ecosystems due to their importance for nutrient cycling and as a major food source for herbivores. Forestry affects the vegetation both directly through management and indirectly by altering the forest structure. LÄS MER
15. Microbial life in boreal soils : on the availability and fate of carbon substrates for microbial activity in boreal soils
Sammanfattning : The large pool of carbon (C) stored as soil organic matter (SOM) in soils of high-latitude ecosystems contains more organic C than all global vegetation and the atmosphere combined. Global climate change is expected to have especially pronounced effects in these ecosystems, and even small changes in the accumulation and decomposition of their soil C pool driven by heterotrophic microbial activity could profoundly affect atmospheric CO₂ levels and thus the global climate.
