Habitat preferences and population dynamics of the threatened orchid Goodyera repens
Hello!
My name is Matilda and here you can find information about my masters thesis. I studied the program Ecology and Sustainabla development at Linköpings University. During my studies I have become especially interested in the Swedish forests and the way that the forest is managed. One red-listed species protected by the species protection ordinance is the orchid Goodyera repens. It is both greatly impacted by, and has a big impact on, the forestry. In order to apply the most approporiet management for this species, I aimed to find out more about its population dynamics and what habitat variables impacts both occurrence, colonisation and extinction probablity of the species.
