• Disturbance severity and community resilience in a boreal forest 

      Rydgren, Knut; Økland, Rune H.; Hestmark, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)
      We studied the resilience of southeastern Norwegian old-growth Picea abies forest floor vegetation to experimental disturbance. Five treatments, differing in depth of removal of vegetation and soil layers and making up a ...
    • Moss species benefits from breakdown of cyclic rodent dynamics in boreal forests 

      Rydgren, Knut; Økland, Rune H.; Picó, F. Xavier; Kroon, Hans de (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)
      Bryophytes have increased in abundance in northern regions, and climate changes have been proposed to account for this change. However, changes in the population dynamics of microtine rodents may also contribute to changes ...
    • Plant species composition of boreal spruce swamp forests: closed doors and windows of opportunity 

      Økland, Rune Halvorsen; Rydgren, Knut; Økland, Tonje (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      Previous studies point at biogeographic (i.e. evolutionary and demographic) and ecological (i.e. habitat differentiation and disturbance) processes as the most important causes of spatial variation in species richness and ...
    • Ultimate costs of sporophyte production in the clonal moss Hylocomium splendens 

      Rydgren, Knut; Økland, Rune H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)
      A richly sporophyte-producing population of the dioecious perennial clonal moss Hylocomium splendens was followed for five years in order to investigate the longterm costs of sporophyte production. Female mature segments ...
