76-year decline and recovery of aspen mediated by contrasting fire regimes: Longunburned, infrequent and frequent mixedseverity wildfire
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-04)Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a valued, minor component on northeastern California landscapes. It provides a wide range of ecosystem services and has been in decline throughout the region for the last century. ... -
A chromosome-level genome sequence assembly of the red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-16)Rubus idaeus L. (red raspberry), is a perennial woody plant species of the Rosaceae family that is widely cultivated in the temperate regions of world and is thus an economically important soft fruit species. It is prized ... -
Democratizing education: Open schooling engaged the less privileged in environmental sciences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-08)Democratizing learning is essential for environmental sustainability. Less privileged areas are crucial in this regard. Informal education has great such potential, but often fails to reach the less privileged, and to ... -
The effect of various metal-salts on the sedimentation of soil in a water-based suspension
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-14)Soil particles and bound nutrients that erode from agricultural land may end up in surface waters and cause undesirable changes to the environment. Various measures, among them constructed wetlands have been proposed as ... -
Evaluating competition for forage plants between honey bees and wild bees in Denmark
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04-28)A recurrent concern in nature conservation is the potential competition for forage plants between wild bees and managed honey bees. Specifically, that the highly sophisticated system of recruitment and large perennial ... -
Genetic analysis indicates spatial-dependent patterns of sex-biased dispersal in Eurasian lynx in Finland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-19)Conservation and management of large carnivores requires knowledge of female and male dispersal. Such information is crucial to evaluate the population’s status and thus management actions. This knowledge is challenging ... -
Genetic mapping and identification of a QTL determining tolerance to freezing stress in Fragaria vesca L.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-21)Extreme cold and frost cause significant stress to plants which can potentially be lethal. Low temperature freezing stress can cause significant and irreversible damage to plant cells and can induce physiological and ... -
How much water can wood cell walls hold? A triangulation approach to determine the maximum cell wall moisture content
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-31)Wood is a porous, hygroscopic material with engineering properties that depend significantly on the amount of water (moisture) in the material. Water in wood can be present in both cell walls and the porous void-structure ... -
Identification of QTLs for powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis; syn. Sphaerotheca macularis f. sp. fragariae) susceptibility in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-19)Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis Wallr.) is a pathogen which infects the leaves, fruit, stolon and flowers of the cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa), causing major yield losses, primarily through ... -
Large-scale genetic admixture suggests high dispersal in an insect pest, the apple fruit moth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-12)Knowledge about population genetic structure and dispersal capabilities is important for the development of targeted management strategies for agricultural pest species. The apple fruit moth, Argyresthia conjugella ... -
Low precipitation due to climate change consistently reduces multifunctionality of urban grasslands in mesocosms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-03)Urban grasslands are crucial for biodiversity and ecosystem services in cities, while little is known about their multifunctionality under climate change. Thus, we investigated the effects of simulated climate change, i.e., ... -
Niche construction mediates climate effects on recovery of tundra heathlands after extreme event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-04)Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme events in northern ecosystems. The outcome of these events across the landscape, might be mediated by species effects, such as niche construction, ... -
Silicon builds resilience in strawberry plants against both strawberry powdery mildew Podosphaera aphanis and two-spotted spider mites Tetranychus urticae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-08)Silicon is found in all plants and the accumulation of silicon can improve plant tolerance to biotic stress. Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) and two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) are both ... -
The taxonomic significance of ddRADseq based microsatellite markers in the closely related species of Heracleum (Apiaceae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05-07)Many studies on Heracleum have shown poor correspondence between observed molecular clusters and established taxonomic classification amongst closely related species. This might reflect both unresolved taxonomy but perhaps ...
