Does long-term grazing cause cascading impacts on the soil microbiome in mountain birch forests?
Ahonen, Saija H.K.; Ruotsalainen, Anna Liisa; Wäli, Piippa R.; Suominen, Otso; Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Markkola, Annamari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In subarctic mountain birch forests, reindeer grazing and moth outbreaks act as important biotic drivers of ecosystem functioning. We investigated how a long-term contrast in reindeer grazing regimes and short-term ... -
Elevationally biased avian predation as a contributor to the spatial distribution of geometrid moth outbreaks in sub-arctic mountain birch forest
Pepi, Adam A.; Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Ek, Malin; Jepsen, Jane Uhd (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Population dynamics and interactions that vary over a species’ range are of particular importance in the context of latitudinal clines in biological diversity.Winter moth (Operophtera brumata) and autumnal moth (Epirrita ... -
Salvage logging of mountain birch after geometrid outbreaks: Ecological context determines management outcomes
Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Klinghardt, Moritz; Ek, Malin; Ims, Rolf Anker (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Outbreaks of pest insects occasionally cause mortality of entire forest stands. Salvage logging of affected stands is the most common management response to such events. Logging may aid stand recovery by increasing the ...
