Effects of rooting by wild boar on soil organic carbon
BSc thesis / MSc thesis (depending on size / depth of analysis) Rooting activity by wild boar may lead to loss of soil organic matter and soil carbon, depending on rooting intensity and frequency. In the Netherlands, high wild ...

Seed rain: reproductive strategies during secondary succession in wet tropical forest
MSc thesis During secondary succession after land abandonment in the wet tropics the vegetation recovers rapidly. Local forest recovery is determined by many factors but availability of seeds is crucial. This is largely determi ...
