Stable carbon isotope composition (δ13C) in trees responds sensitively to the changing environmental conditions and thus provides a powerful tool for paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The retrospective interpretation of tree δ13C signal depends on comprehensive understanding of how environmental...

Boswellia papyrifera (Burseraceae) trees grow in drylands south of the Sahara. In Ethiopia, it grows in seasonally dry Combretum-Terminalia woodlands. It is a source of frankincense, an economically important olio-gum resin used for cultural and religious ceremonies throughout the world and as raw...

In this thesis, the accuracy of wood-anatomical markers that differed in their origin was investigated by a combination of field studies and experiments. First, the temporal resolution of wound dating was studied in relation to dating invasive Anoplophora outbreaks in Japanese maple (Acer palmatum...

The thesis addresses the hypothesis that leaf-hay (from trees) has been harvested on a large scale in Sweden, and has consequently significantly affected the vegetation. The use of leaf-fodder for the period c. 1800-1950 is analysed for Sweden and Åland Island. The main sources are ethnological...

The thesis describes long-term local forest fire histories, in particular in relation to Norway spruce (Picea abies) establishment, and is based on investigations in southern and central Norway, which are described in 4 papers (2 already published and 2 as manuscripts; 3 of the 4 were in...

Dendrochronological methods were used to investigate past Saami use of forest resources in northern Sweden, and to reconstruct temporal and spatial aspects of fire disturbances including vegetation successional patterns. This thesis comprises a summary paper, and four research papers (the latter in ...

Inventory data were collected from 166 ancient stands of Thuja plicata in Idaho, Montana and Washington. Intensive regeneration sampling was performed in 19 stands. Disturbance appeared to be a major requirement for regeneration by seed. The proportion of a site occupied by overstorey did not...
