T-B. Larsson’s scientific contributions

... Abschließend bleibt zu bemerken, dass sich ein erhöhter Kohlenstoffspeicher im Wald in der Regel unmittelbar positiv auf die Biodiversität auswirkt -anders als die Kohlenstoffspeicherung in Holzprodukten und die CO2-Einsparungen durch Substitution von Referenzprodukten ( LARSSON et al. 2007 Im Zuge der Diskussionen über die Erschließung neuer Energieholzpotenziale wurde ver-schiedentlich die Idee vorgetragen, Rückegassen mit schnell wachsenden Baumarten zu bepflanzen. Damit könnte die Forstfläche optimal genutzt werden. ...

... Such classification is complex, and highly site-specific (Arroyo 1131(Arroyo et al., 2008. For the purposes of this review, and in particular to explore whether Australian 1132 bushfires may have a characteristic impact on water, we arrange fuel type according to a 1133 synthesis of European (Europe, 2011), American (Andrews, 1986) and Australian guidelines: It is also important to understand the immediate impacts of bushfire alongside the 1143 longer-term effects (Bixby et al., 2015). Some immediate factors influencing water quality 1144 (such as acute variation in water temperature (Hitt, 2003))can attenuate quickly, while others (such as longer-term increase in water temperature due to loss of vegetation that provided shade 1146 over water (Mahlum et al., 2011)) only become apparent in following months and years 1147 ...

... Rapid population growth and economic development in the last few decades have brought tropical forests under increasing threat. Every year, more than 10 million ha of tropical forests in developing countries are cleared or converted to other land use types (Tole 1998; Giambelluca et al. 2003; Percy et al. 2003). In addition, large parts of the remaining forests have been disturbed and fragmented due to human activities (Giambelluca et al. 2003; Van Laake and Sánchez-Azofeifa 2004). ...

... Species are getting extinct at a rate unsurpassed in history. Larsson (2001) reveals that the present rate of extinction is estimated at 100 to 1000 times higher than the historically typical rate of extinction. ...
