Leaf trait variation enables plants to utilize large gradients of light availability that exist across canopies of high leaf area index (LAI), allowing for greater net carbon gain while reducing light availability for understory competitors. While these canopy dynamics are well understood in forest ecosystems, studies of canopy structure of woody s...

Changing climatic conditions and unsustainable land use are major threats to savannas worldwide. Historically, many African savannas were used intensively for livestock grazing, which contributed to widespread patterns of bush encroachment across savanna systems. To reverse bush encroachment, it has been proposed to change the cattle-dominated land...

Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but the strength of this effect may depend on prevailing regional climatic conditions. To study how ungulates interact with temperat...

The human being and her behavior is complex. Research has shown serendipity and chance to play a great part in the scientific research praxis, still the complexity of human information retrieval is not fully acknowledged in modern libraries. This master thesis compares two different worldviews; the mechanistic and the organic. This in order to unde...

African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) are well-known as ecosystem engineers with the ability to modify vegetation structure. The present study aimed to examine how male elephant foraging behaviour is affected across (a) season (wet versus dry); (b) time of day (before or after noon); (c) presence or absence of other elephants; and (d) rep...

Navadna ameriška duglazija je zaradi nazadovanja smreke in svojih izjemnih dimenzij ter lastnosti že dolgo kandidat za vnos v naše gozdove. V diplomskem delu smo preučili, kakšna sta zgradba in negovanost sestojev z navadno ameriško duglazijo in kako se ta naravno pomlajuje. Meritve smo opravili v petih sestojih v gozdnogospodarskem območju Kranj. ...

Zaradi antropogeno spremenjene drevesne sestave, bujne pritalne vegetacije in preštevilne divjadi se visokogorski gozdovi le s težavo pomlajujejo. Z njimi je tako težje gospodariti in naravna obnova je dolgotrajna. V Pahernikovih gozdovih smo postavili 6 poskusnih vrzeli velikosti dveh drevesnih višin ter v njih analizirali 252 ploskvic s pomlajeva...

Mountain hares (Lepus timidus) in Scandinavia are classified as Near Threatened in the Norwegian and Swedish Redlists. This is due to a possible population decline witnessed during the last decades in Scandinavia. Competition between large herbivores and mountain hares is one of several hypotheses that has been put forward to explain this decline. ...

This study compares the amount of available biomass for wild herbivores (red deer (Cervus elaphus L.), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.), and hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas)) depending on three different types of forest silvicultural systems—presented using the example of beech and spruce stands in wintertime. During the winter period, spruce provide...
