Pollen Chemistry as the Next Generation Tool in Palaeoecological Research - Theory, Methods and Application

Pollen produsert av planter kan bevares i sedimentene i innsjøer og myrer i tusenvis, eller til og med millioner av år. Når dette skjer, blir den yngste bevart i de øverste lagene i sedimentene, og eldre pollen begraves dypere og dypere. Hvis plantesamfunnene i omgivelsene har endret seg, vil ogs...

Functional traits across primary producer groups and their effects on tundra ecosystem processes

Høyere planter, moser og laver dominerer vegetasjonen over tregrensen. Individuelle arter innen disse gruppene er karakterisert av bestemte egenskaper, slik som næringsinnhold, høyde, veksthastighet og bladstørrelse. Disse egenskapene kan variere både innen den enkelte art og mellom arter. Når, f...

Speciation genomics of peat mosses (Sphagnum) - testing speciation-with-gene-flow hypotheses in a highly diverse genus

Hvordan nye arter dannes er en av de mest grunnleggende biologiske prosessene som har fascinert mennesker de siste 200 år. Det er i utgangspunktet to hovedtyper av artsdannelse, allopatrisk og sympatrisk. Allopatrisk artsdannelse skjer når det er en fysisk barriere mellom to populasjoner som hind...

MILJØFORSK-Miljøforskning for en grønn samfunnsomstilling

Transformation of recent forest on abandoned agricultural land for the benefit of biodiversity, ecosystem services and green solutions

Utvidelse av jordbruk og annen arealbruk har i løpet av det siste årtusenet ført til en kraftig nedgang i edelløvskog i Europa, et biom av enestående betydning for biologisk mangfold. Imidlertid øker nå det totale arealet og stående volumet av edelløvtrær på grunn av gjengroing av brakklagte (mar...
