BERGMAN Inger The effects of temperature, substrate availability, pH and redox conditions on the rates of microbially produced methane and carbon dioxide, was studied in peat from different plant communities collected from and mixed mire in northern Sweden. The microbial utilisation of 13C glucose in surface Sphagnum majus litter and its regulation by temperature, pH redox condition was also studied.

FABER William E. Scots pine Pinus sylvestris is a dominant winter food species to moose Alces alces in Fennoscandia while Norway spruce Picea abies is a low preference forage, but reports of use of either species during the growing season are limited. In this thesis I present the role of foliage and bark of these two conifers in diets of Swedish moose, with special emphasis to the growing season.
NORDIN Annika The work described in this thesis explores key processes of nitrogen (N) utilisation by forest plants. Storage, transport and uptake of N were investigated in a number of plant species common in Swedish forests. N supply was manipulated to simulate the currently increasing N deposition on these ecosystems.

EDLUND Marie-Louise The present work aimed to evaluate the validity of field tests and relevance of using terrestrial microcosms (TMCs) as a complement,or an alternative to existing laboratory test procedures to assess the durability of preservative treated and untreated wood.
ELIASSON Lars The single grip harvester has since its introduction in 1983 become the dominating machine for tree harvesting in Sweden. Time studies agree that the most important factor influencing single-grip harvester productivity is size of trees harvested, but do not agree on what other factors that influence harvester productivity.

GAN Kee Seng Solar timber drying is a low cost drying system and has potential for commercial application in the tropics. In view of the availability of solar energy in Malaysia, and the needs by the small and medium scale wood manufactures for a low cost drying system, a new solar dryer was built at the Forest Research Institute Malaysia with the aim to use it commercially. The thesis in concerned with the development of performance appraisal procedures to characterise commercial sized solar timber drying system. This involved full experimental investigation of the newly built solar dryer. Solar drying of two commercial timber species; meranti bakau (Shorea uliginosa) and kapur (Dryobalanops aromatica) each representing the Malaysian Light Hardwood and Medium Hardwood groupings respectively were carried out. The final moisture content achievable in the solar dryer was about 12. Drying times varies with the general weather conditions. Under unfavourable weather conditions, solar drying was found to be 1.38 and 2.05 times faster than air drying above and below Fibre Saturation Point. The solar dryer is a modified greenhouse type dryer which incorporates the use of mangrove charcoal in the collector for heat absorption and transfer. However, charcoal is known for its desiccant effect and the influence of this in the drying system was not fully understood. Investigation into the use of charcoal in its present configuration within the solar collector revealed that it did not improve the perfomance of the drying system. The main reason impeding the greater commercial uptake of solar timber drying is the inability to assess the performance of solar drying in different locations and climatic conditions. To address this problem, standalone timber drying module, which could simulate tropical timber drying under variable conditions was developed in this project. Empirical validation of the timber drying module showed good correlation. This module was successfully linked to ESP-r (Environmental Systems Performance; r for "research") for an integrated simulation of the whole solar timber drying process. The usefulness, flexibility and robustness of the simulation models created in this research were illustrated with some practical applications.
GRANBERG Gunnar The methane dynamics of boreal mixed mires, which comprise one of the most common types of mire in Fennoscandia, were studied in a field survey, a factorially designed field experiment with increased N and S deposition and temperature, and by construction of a mechanistic methane model.
LINDBLADH Matts Spatially detailed pollen analysis was used to investigate the development of forest vegetation over the last 4000 years in the boreo-nemoral zone of Sweden. The sites for investigation were selected from historical maps and were located on the in- and out- fields. The in-fields consisted of arable land and hay meadows. The out-fields were primarily used for forest-grazing and `slash-and-burn' cultivation.

Storage, transport and uptake of N were investigated in a number of plant species common in Swedish forests. N supply was manipulated to simulate the currently increasing N deposition on these ecosystems.
OSADA Noriyuki The study was conducted in Pasoh Forest Reserve, Negeri Sembilan. By considering trees as a metapopulation of modules, leaf phenology and crown dynamics were analyzed, specifically in relation to the complexity of their stratification that characterizes the tropical rain forests.
SPANGBERG Kalle The effects on wood and pulp properties of different methods of sorting Norway spruce pulpwood were evaluated. Pulpwood of Norway spruce in southern Sweden was sorted between truckloads according to mean annnual growth ring width, or according to harvest type, i.e. first thinning, later thinning, or final felling.
VASILIAUSKAS Rimvydas In Sweden and Lithuania, the most common fungi infecting wounds of Picea abies were Stereum sanguinolentum, Clindrobasidium evolvens, Amylostereum areolatum and A. chailletii. Less frequent basidiomycetes were Sistotrema brinkmannii, Peniophora incarnata, P. pithya, Resinicium bicolor, Fomitopsis pinicola, Coniophora arida, Postia stiptica, Hyphoderma sp., and the ascomycete Ophiostoma sp.

ZIAKIAH Omar A research to find out some aspects in germination of Hopea odorata, which had been done at Makmal Kajiteknik Biji Benih, FRIM, Kepong, Selangor. The first aspect was the effect of four medium which were soil, sand, sawdust and tissue paper, on the germination of H. odorata. Three replications were used for each of the medium. The second aspect was the effect of embryo weight on the germination and viability of H. odorata. The embryo were classed into three different weights which were embryo that were less than 0.05g, between 0.05g and 0.10g, and more than 0.10g. The next aspect that had been studied was the embryo capability to germinate in each seed. 50 seeds were collected and the embryos were sown. The parameters that had been used were number of leaf, leaf area, height, root length, fresh weight and dry weight. The last aspect in the study was the was the comparison of the laboratory germination and the natural germination. 100 seeds were used in each experiment. The study concluded that there was no significant difference between the four medium on germination of H. odorata. The bigger the embryo the higher the germination rate and viability. The study also showed that the seeds with two embryos will have higher germination rate compared to the seeds with more than two embryos in each seed. The germination percentage of H. odorata in the laboratory was much more higher than in natural condition.
