Effects of local forest continuity on the diversity of fungi on standing dead pines
2018
Human-induced fragmentation affects forest continuity, i.e. availability of a suitable habitat for the target species over a time period. The dependence of wood-inhabiting fungi on landscape level continuity has been well demonstrated, but the importance of local continuity has remained controversial. In this study, we explored the effects of local forest continuity (microhabitat and stand level) on the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi on standing dead trunks of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). We studied species richness and community composition of decomposers and Micarea lichens on 70 trunks in 14 forests in central Finland that differed in their state of continuity. We used dendrochr…
Assessment of the Mass and Surface Area of the Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Needles
2022
The assessment of the surface area of all leaves from a tree crown is regarded as one of the key parameters in scaling ecophysiological processes, such as growth, carbon budget, and water management. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of the mass and surface area of Scots pine needles, obtained from trees growing in the same habitat conditions but at different stock densities, therefore occupying different biosocial positions. The mass of needles and the leaf area index (LAI) were determined for an even-aged 33-year-old Scots pine stand located at a fresh mixed coniferous forest site in southwest Poland (50°32′ N; 17°42′ E). The needles, collected…
Chemical Composition of Scots Pine Bark as a Bioindicator of Environmental Quality in Riga, Latvia / Priežu Mizu ķīmiskais Sastāvs Kā Vides Stāvokļa …
2015
Abstract The chemical composition of pine bark was used for the determination of environmental quality in Rīga. Bark samples were collected at 54 sites in Rīga differing in vegetation and building area characteristics (urban forests, parks and cemeteries, dwelling houses, and streets and railway zones) and at 52 sites from rural areas in Latvia (background level). Concentrations of Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Cu, Cd, Pb, and pH was determined in the samples. The results showed significantly higher concentrations of chemical elements in pine bark collected in Rīga, compared to background levels: Fe and Cu concentrations three times higher, and other elements - up to 1.8 times. The highest…
Mežsaimniecības atkritumprodukta – skuju ekstraktvielas un to izmantošanas potenciāls bioekonomika
2021
Bakalaura darbā ”Mežsaimniecības atkritumprodukta- skuju ekstraktvielas un to izmantošanas potenciāls bioekonomikā” ietvaros tika apstrādāti 30 paraugi no parasto priežu (Pinus sylvestris L.) un parasto egļu ((Picea abies) skujām, ekstrahējot tos Soksletā dažādos šķīdinātājos, lai iegūtu ekstraktus, kurus turpmāk izmantoja bakalaura darba izstrādē. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tika apkopota zinātniska literatūra par priežu un egļu skujām un ķīmisko sastāvu, tā izmantošanas iespējām Latvijas tirgū un izmantošanu potenciālu bioekonomikas attīstībai. Pētījumā tika izmantota Folina-Šikoltē (Folin- Ciocalteu) un DPPH metode, lai noteiktu polifenolus un antiradikālo aktivitāti. Ekstraktu ķīmiskā sastā…
Retrotranspozonu struktūra parastās priedes (Pinus sylvestris L.) genomā un to ekspresija
2014
ANOTĀCIJA Promocijas darbs izstrādāts Latvijas Valsts mežzinātnes institūtā „Silava”. Pētījuma mērķis bija identificēt aktīvos retrotranspozonus parastās priedes (Pinus sylvestris L.) genomā un raksturot to transkripcijas līmeni dažādu stresa veidu ietekmē kontrolētos apstākļos. Pētījumā izmantoti nespecifiskie retrotranspozonu marķieri balstīti uz augsti konservatīvām tRNS piesaistes vietām. Viena klona priežu rametus pakļāva dabā izplatītam karstuma stresam, kukaiņu invāzijai (priežu hermess (Pineus pini L.), kā arī mākslīgi izraisītai augu hormonu (abscīzskābes un salicilskābes) ietekmei. Darba rezultātā identificēti pārsvarā I klases mobīlo elementu pārstāvji, kā arī tos saturošie himēr…
