2. Carabidocoenoses and Fragments of Forests : exploring the Carabid Landscape
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Epigeic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were sampled between 2021-06-28 and 2021-07-09 using pitfall traps in the Swedish counties Värmland and Gävleborg. The structural properties of the landscapes surrounding these points were estimated from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s national land cover databases and the Swedish Forest Agency’s data for all formally protected and high conservation value forests using patch-based configurational metrics.

4. Assessment of hydropower mitigation measures for fish habitat rehabilitation with a coupled eco-hydraulic model : A case study on the Skålan-Äldern stretch
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : In the past century, hydropower development in Sweden has been facilitated by the lack of appropriate environmental legislation. This exploitation has resulted in the current poor ecological status of most Swedish water bodies affected by hydropower, and in the need for new policies that reflect the 2000 European Water Framework Directive.

5. How does species density affect activity patterns of three sympatric ungulate species in a Scandinavian boreal forest?
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : Ungulate management becomes more complex when new species are being introduced and favorable habitats are created by commercial forestry and other forms of land use, resulting in increasing populations. Climate change is also affecting their distributions by altering their ability to spread from their historical range. READ MORE
