Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

Seasonal changes of pigments concentration in the leaves of Vaccinium myrtillus and Vaccinium vitis-idaea and the influence of industrial emissions

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
The current-year leaves of both Vaccinium species show a similar chlorophyll o level iii summer, ca. 3.0 mg/g d.w., however, they differ in the earliest period of possible analysis. The Vaccinium myrtillus leaves showed at that time a level of ca. 6 mg/g

Dynamics of Vaccinium myrtillus patches in mountain spruce forest [PDF]

, 1995
International audienceThe dynamics of Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) patches were studied in spruce (Picea abies) forest at the higher montane and lower subalpine level in the Tarentaise valley (Savoy, France). Although aerial parts of the shrub may give

Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

Genetic patterns in range-edge populations of Vaccinium species from the central Balkans: implications on conservation prospects and sustainable usage

Silva Fennica, 2015
L., L. and L. are perennial, cold-adapted clonal shrubs distributed throughout Europe, northern Asia and North America. Due to their usage in food (berries) and pharmaceutical industry (berries and leaves), their natural populations are exposed to ...

Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 363-376, June 2026.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

Seed dispersal by brown bears promotes trophic facilitation in a human‐dominated landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seed dispersal is a key ecological process with wide‐ranging implications for plant population dynamics, forest regeneration, and biodiversity maintenance. The role of carnivores and omnivores as endozoochorous dispersers is increasingly acknowledged.

Riparian vegetation diversity in boreal headwaters: Comparing streams, modified waterways, and ditches

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Decades of forest management in the boreal biome have involved digging drainage ditches and modifying streams to increase timber production, altering terrestrial ecosystems and expanding stream networks. Modified waterways and drainage ditches represent widespread novel aquatic and riparian ecosystems, with little known about their ...
