A climate for seed predation: Precipitation affects seed removal by the major groups of granivores differently across boreal, sub-alpine and alpine grasslands
(Master thesis, 2018-12-15)Granivory, the seed predation by animals, plays an important role for plant and animal populations, and impact species composition and functioning of ecosystems. The intensity in granivory depends on various biotic and ... -
The effect of grazing and hiking on the elevational range shift of vascular plant species in the Scandes during recent decades
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Resurvey of historical plant distribution data can provide valuable information about how plant communities have changed, a topic which is of great interest due to recent decades of climate and land use change. Range shifts ... -
Plant-pollinator interactions in the alpine: Landscape heterogeneity acts as a potential buffer against climate-change induced mismatch in the pollinator-generalist Ranunculus acris
(Master thesis, 2018-06-19)Phenology changes are a common response to global warming and the timing of phenological events is important for symbiotic interactions, such as pollination. If symbiotic species respond differently to global warming, this ... -
Plastic Population Effects and Conservative Leaf Traits in a Reciprocal Transplant Experiment Simulating Climate Warming in the Himalayas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-30)Climate warming poses considerable challenges for alpine plant species, especially for competitively inferior ones with resource-conservative adaptations to cold climates. The Himalayas are warming at rates considerably ... -
Strong microsite control of seedling recruitment in tundra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-19)The inclusion of environmental variation in studies of recruitment is a prerequisite for realistic predictions of the responses of vegetation to a changing environment. We investigated how seedling recruitment is affected ... -
The effects of geodiversity on temporal shifts in alpine plant communities.
(Master thesis, 2021-05-31)Climate warming is inducing compositional shifts in alpine species communities across Europe. However, there are variations in the magnitude and direction of these shifts related to variations in the abiotic environment. ... -
Wind to insect pollination ratios and floral traits in five alpine Salix species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)This study examines the ratio of wind to insect pollination of five alpine-arctic Salix species and possible correlations between plant traits and this ratio. The field work was done in an alpine area in southwest Norway, ...
