  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Ecological succession of benthic macrofauna following disturbance : Effects of contaminants and in situ sediment remediation

    Författare :Caroline Raymond; Jonas S. Gunnarsson; Agnes M. L. Karlson; Francisco J. A. Nascimento; Joanna Norkko; Gert Van Hoey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Activated carbon; Benthos; Bioturbation; Contaminants; Environmental indices; Environmental monitoring; Environmental quality; Seafloor integrity; Sediment remediation; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : More than 70% of the Earth is covered by water, and most of the sea floor consists of soft sediments, such as mud, clay and sand. Thus, soft sediments form one of the most important habitats on Earth, with a high diversity of organisms. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Phytoplankton and Physical Disturbance : Seasonal dynamics in temperate Lake Erken, Sweden

    Författare :Yang Yang; Kurt Pettersson; Peeter Nõges; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phytoplankton dynamics; high-frequency measurements; thermal stratification; water column stability; equilibrium; disturbance;

    Sammanfattning : Phytoplankton mirrors changes in the environment and plays an important role in biogeochemical processes. Phytoplankton dynamics is the outcome of both autogenic succession and external disturbances. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Tight-binding calculations of electron scattering rates in semiconducting zigzag carbon nanotubes

    Författare :Kannan Thiagarajan; Ulf Lindefelt; Hans-Erik Nilsson; Sven Öberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tight-binding; carbon nanotubes; electron-phonon scattering; backscattering; forward scattering; Semiconductor physics; Halvledarfysik;

    Sammanfattning : The technological interest in a material depends very much on its electrical, magnetic, optical and/or mechanical properties. In carbon nanotubes the atoms form a cylindrical structure with a diameter of the order 1 nm, but the nanotubes can be up to several hundred micrometers in length. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Dynamics of ecological communities in variable environments : local and spatial processes

    Författare :Linda Kaneryd; Bo Ebenman; Peter Münger; Michael S. Fowler; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The ecosystems of the world are currently facing a variety of anthropogenic perturbations, such as climate change, fragmentation and destruction of habitat, overexploitation of natural resources and invasions of alien species. How the ecosystems will be affected is not only dependent on the direct effects of the perturbations on individual species but also on the trophic structure and interaction patterns of the ecological community.
