  1. 16. Disturbance regimes in dry sandy grasslands – past, present and future

    Författare :Anja Ödman; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Grassland conservation; sand steppe; land use history; conceptual model; soil disturbance; lime; nutrient availability; vascular plants; bryophytes; ground beetles; propagule supply;

    Sammanfattning : A number of sandy grassland habitats of interest for biodiversity conservation can be found in Europe. One such habitat is the threatened xeric sand calcareous grassland, which is home to a large number of endangered species. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Evidence for adaptive variation at the genes coding for cytosolic phosphoglucose isomerase (PGIC) in Festuca ovina L

    Författare :Yuan Li; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3-D protein structure; purifying selection; positive selection; cDNA sequences; local adaptation; alvar grasslands; Festuca ovina; Phosphoglucose isomerase; PgiC loci; SNPs; nucleotide polymorphism; horizontal gene transfer;

    Sammanfattning : The gene (Pgi) encoding the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) which plays a central role in the main pathways of carbon metabolism has been shown to be of adaptive significance in a wide range of different species. Earlier studies of enzyme electromorph variation in the grass Festuca ovina suggest that variation in cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be involved in the adaptive response of F. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Monitoring biodiversity in cultural landscapes: development of remote sensing- and GIS-based methods

    Författare :Jonas Dalmayne; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :Remote sensing; statistical modeling; spatial scales; partial least squares; support vector machines; grazed grasslands; LULC; HySpex; Worldview-2; Landsat; heterogeneity; landscape complexity; plant species diversity;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I explore the relationships between structural and compositional landscape properties, and species diversity, using remotely sensed data on a variety of spatial scales. The thesis shows that increased landscape heterogeneity, measured using environmental and spectral variables that were used both separately and combined, is generally positively related to plant species richness.

  5. 19. Recruitment and distribution patterns of plants in Swedish semi-natural grasslands

    Författare :Åsa Eriksson; Brita Svensson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Semi-natural pastures with different histories of management are nowadays the main remnants of the traditional agrarian landscape in southern Sweden. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the importance of features of the present-day landscape and its management history for species distribution and abundance patterns in Swedish semi-natural pastures, with a particular focus on factors affecting recruitment processes.
