11. Climate change impacts upon plants and soils along environmental gradients : insights from Swedish subarctic tundra and boreal forests
Sammanfattning : Climate change is altering ecosystems worldwide. Despite advances in our understanding of the effects of increasing temperature, little is known about how increased temperatures will impact upon plants and soils across environmental gradients. LÄS MER
12. The forgotten forest : on thinning, retention, and biodiversity in the boreal forest
Sammanfattning : Fennoscandia has had a long history of intensive forest management. It can therefore be regarded a trial zone for other boreal regions which are still largely unaffected by forestry. In Fennoscandia, forestry has resulted in many threatened species and methods that maintain biodiversity have therefore been called for. LÄS MER
13. Deciduous tree occurrence and large herbivore browsing in multiscale perspectives
Sammanfattning : Aspen ( Populus tremula), rowan (Sorbus auquparia) and sallow (Salix caprea) are deciduous tree species of low economic value for forestry and contribute to biodiversity of boreal forests. The species are rare in managed forest landscapes, and severely browsed by moose. LÄS MER
14. The introduction of Pinus contorta in Sweden : implications for forest diversity
Sammanfattning : An increasing demand for forest-based products calls for further development and intensification of forest management. The use of non-native tree species in forestry is a common and expanding silvicultural practice worldwide but the effect of non-native trees on native biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is still poorly understood.

15. Breaking the ice : effects of ice formation and winter floods on vegetation along streams
Sammanfattning : Streams in cold regions are characterized by unique hydrological processes that control flow regime and water levels. One of the most important processes is the formation, growth and melting of different types of ice in and around the stream channel during winter. LÄS MER
