1. The impact of cormorant nesting colonies on plants and arthropods
Sammanfattning : Seabirds concentrate large amounts of marine nutrients on their nesting islands. This nutrient input can have large consequences for island food webs and community structure. The high nutrient load may also cause runoff into surrounding waters and affect marine communities. LÄS MER
2. Statistical analysis of non-Gaussian environmental loads and responses
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals mainly with offshore engineering related problems where the dominant source of uncertainty is related to the loading. Loads arise from environmental random processes; e.g. waves, currents and winds. LÄS MER
3. Modelling Microslip Friction Damping and its Influence on Turbine Blade Vibrations
Sammanfattning : A common failure mode for turbomachinery is high-cycle fatigue of compressor and turbine blades, due to high dynamic stresses caused by blade vibration resonance within the operating range of the machinery. A large number of engine shut-downs can be explained by blade failure caused by resonance vibration or flutter. LÄS MER
4. Effects of facilitation and competition on oak seedlings : using shrubs as nurse-plants to facilitate growth and reduce browsing from large herbivores
Sammanfattning : Plant–plant interactions have been indicated as a potential means to facilitate oak seedling establishment and reduce herbivory when restoring oak forests. The aim of this thesis was to investigate mechanisms and outcomes of competitive and indirectly facilitative interactions between oak (Quercus robur and Q. LÄS MER
5. Omnivore population dynamics and trophic behavior : applications for sustainable willow short rotation coppice
Sammanfattning : Plant traits can mediate the interactions between plant feeding trophic omnivores and their herbivore prey via density effects and by altering the omnivore’s trophic behavior (plant vs. prey feeding). LÄS MER
