• Fire and herbivory driven consumer control in a savanna-like temperate wood-pasture: an experimental approach

Fire and herbivory are fundamental top-down processes, structuring grass-tree ratios in ecosystems across a diversity of climates. Both are plant consumers that can strongly control the recruitment of woody seedlings or ...

• Road verges are corridors and roads barriers for the movements of flower-visiting insects

This publication makes part of the research project GINFRA – green rights-of-way infrastructure for biodiversity and ecosystem services. The aim of the project is to quantify whether linear infrastructure habitats (road ...

• Swedish Forest Phenology

As part of the SLU environmental monitoring and assessment program, the Experimental Forests of the university collect detailed phenological measurements and observations on the tree species downy birch (betula pubescens...

The purpose of the research study was to investigate the effects of and interaction between planting position, arginine-phosphate addition and location on survival and growth of Scots pine seedlings in north Sweden. The...

• Environmental DNA metabarcoding of fish and amphibian occurrence in created biodiversity wetlands in Uppland, Sweden

The conducted study was done to determine the fish and amphibian occurrence patterns in created wetlands for biodiversity. The geographical study units were individual wetlands in Uppland, Sweden. For each wetland, the d...

• Historical floras reflect broad shifts in flowering phenology in response to a warming climate

The data set contains months of flowering from 11 guides to the Swedish flora published over a period of 220 years (1798-2018), focussing on 241 plant species (approximately 8% of the Swedish flora). These species were a...

• Differences in metabolic profiles between the Burmese, the Maine Coon and the Birman cat - three breeds with varying risk for diabetes mellitus

Feline diabetes mellitus shares many features with type 2 diabetes in people, regarding clinical presentation, physiology, and pathology. A breed predisposition for type 2 diabetes has been identified, with the Burmese b...

• Evaluating created wetlands for bird diversity and reproductive success

The conducted study was done in order to investigate what habitat characteristics could explain breeding wetland bird diversity and reproductive success in created wetlands in Uppland, Sweden. The geographical study unit...

• Diameter growth of trees in miombo and acacia woodland in an eroded landscape in NE Tanzania

Diameter growth of 15 tree species in miombo and acacia woodland was monitored. All in all 239 individuals with a diameter >3 cm were measured intermittently from 1991 to 2010, in permanent plots. Growth rate per species...

• Post-fire vegetation succession after 5 years in managed pine forests at different times since clearcutting

To study plant community succession after fire and how it is influenced by time since previous (pre-fire) disturbance, vegetation data were collected in 2019, 5 years after a large (13000 hectare) wildfire in boreal Sout...
