Abstract:
... Leaf litter and other organic resources returned to the soil are important regulators of ecological processes in forest ecosystems, and their ecological impacts may be strongly influenced both by their quality and by interactions between coexisting resource types. To date, most studies on effects of resource identity and mixing have only involved leaf litter, despite the fact that other resource t ...

Abstract:
...

Alvars are habitats characterised by thin soils on limestone bedrock. The largest alvar area in the world is the Stora Alvaret, Öland (25,500 hectares), which is characterised by the presence of several plant communities of high conservation value. Emigration at the end of the nineteenth century reduced land-use intensity resulting in scrub encroachment, mainly by Juniperus communis L. T ...

11. Associational effects of plant defences in relation to within- and between-patch food choice by a mammalian herbivore: neighbour contrast susceptibility and defence

Abstract:
... A basic idea of plant defences is that a plant should gain protection from its own defence. In addition, there is evidence that defence traits of the neighbouring plants can influence the degree of protection of an individual plant. These associational effects depend in part on the spatial scale of herbivore selectivity. A strong between-patch selectivity together with a weak within-patch selectiv ...

We carried out enclosure experiments in an unproductive lake in northern Sweden and studied the effects of enrichment with different dissolved organic carbon (glucose)/inorganic phosphorous (DOC/Pi) ratios on bacterioplankton production (BP), growth efficiency (BGE), nutrient use efficiency (BNUE), growth rate, and specific respiration. We found considerable variation in BP, BGE, and BNUE along th ...

Abstract:
... Forest trees display a perennial growth behavior characterized by a multiple-year delay in flowering and, in temperate regions, an annual cycling between growth and dormancy. We show here that the CO/FT regulatory module, which controls flowering time in response to variations in daylength in annual plants, controls flowering in aspen trees. Unexpectedly, however, it also controls the short-day-in ...

Abstract:
... Quantitative estimates of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) flows in percolating soil water and in surface run-off on arable land are rather scarce. Such information is essential for establishing reliable mass balances of trace metals, e.g. on field level, due to the fact that the trace metal outputs in water are quantitatively significant in field balance calculations. The aim of this study ...
