Differential regulation of release of leaf stress volatiles: from terpene synthase gene expression to emission responses under heat, ozone and wounding stresses
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2018)Plants release a wide array of biogenic volatile organic compounds both constitutively and upon stress. BVOCs play key roles biologically and ecologically. In addition, the emission responses of stress volatiles act as one ... -
Effect of host plants and land use on cabbage seed weevil infestation and associated parasitoids
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2018)The need for more sustainable pest management strategies has been increasing in light of the harmful effects that insecticides have on non-target organisms and recent regulation changes. This study aimed to provide a basis ... -
The effect of natural variability on the assessment of ecological status of shallow lakes
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2018)The dissertation contributes to the improvement of large lake monitoring, demonstrating that besides following the class boundaries of ecological status established by law, reliable status estimates of such lakes require ... -
Induction of volatile organic compound emissions from leaves upon ozone and methyl jasmonate (MeJa) treatments
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2018)Plants biosynthesized a wide variety of volatile organic compound (BVOCs) consisting of volatile isoprenoids, LOX products, saturated aldehydes, benzenoids, and several hydrocarbon volatiles. BVOCs have a considerable ... -
Role of historical slash and burn cultivation in the development of cultural landscapes and forest vegetation in south Estonia
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2018)The objective of this PhD thesis was to estimate the effects of historical rotational slash and burn cultivation on the formation of southern Estonian cultural landscapes and forest vegetation. Slash and burn cultivation ... -
Virtual reality in support of sustainable tourism. Experiences from Eastern Europe
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2018)This study is concerned with the questions: how tourism players perceive sustainable tourism and whether sustainable tourism planning practices include virtual travel as a means to improve visitor experiences. Furthermore, ...
