An ecological and socio-economical study of a locally endangered tree species, Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata, in a dry Afromontane forest
Wegasie, Mekdes Ourge (PhD Thesis;2018:94, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Afromontane forests are found in the tropics and are often threatened because of land use changes. These forests have various types of multipurpose tree species that provide different services to the local communities. ... -
Forest disturbance and tree species elevation ranges in Costa Rica
Muñoz Mazón, Miguel (PhD Thesis;2021:99, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The role of disturbance in influencing interspecific competition and species persistence and distributions remains surprisingly unexplored. Disturbance may increase elevation ranges, especially at the lower range limits, ... -
Functional traits across primary producer groups and their effects on micro-arthropod communities in alpine Norway
Roos, Ruben Erik (PhD Thesis;2019:71, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The vegetation of alpine ecosystems, i.e. those above the elevation of the tree line, consists not only of vascular plants, but also of non-vascular primary producers such as lichens and bryophytes. The use of functional ... -
Functional traits and decomposition of lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants in an alpine ecosystem
van Zuijlen, Kristel (PhD Thesis;2019:44, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Functional traits influence how an organism responds to its environment and how this can affect ecosystem processes such as decomposition. The majority of trait-based studies have focused on vascular plants, while non-vascular ... -
The role of biotic and abiotic factors on treeline ecotone dynamics : studies using field observations and remote sensing
Mienna, Ida Marielle (PhD Thesis;2022:35, Doctoral thesis, 2022)With global warming, the forest extent is expected to change, and the transition zone between the upper forest boundary and treeless alpine landscape (i.e., the treeline ecotone) is expected to migrate to higher elevations. ... -
Soil carbon storage in the forest-tundra ecotone : insights from field- and remotely sensed data
Devos, Claire Céline (PhD Thesis;2023:84, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Due to climate warming, forests are moving to higher elevations and latitudes at the expense of treeless tundra. Recent studies suggest that these vegetation shifts promote soil organic carbon (SOC) losses that exceed ...
