3. 2. Telling a different story: Farming resilience in hay-milk farms in Salzburg province

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Author : Julia Fritzsche; [2023]
   Keywords : farming resilience; Salzburg; hay-milk farming;

   Abstract : Foregrounding relations and processes in resilience thinking has the potential to enable more holistic analyses and account for complexity, which could lead to more resilient actions, interventions, or ways of being. The concept of farming resilience builds on a process-relational understanding of resilience and thus offers a move away from more substance-based understandings of resilience as outcome. READ MORE

   Author : Matouš Jimel; [2023]
   Keywords : Riparian zone; Alluvial meadows; Riparian vegetation; Regulated river; Flooding;

   Abstract : Northern boreal alluvial meadows are ecologically significant semi-natural ecosystems within the riparian zone. The effects of disturbance like flooding, grazing, and mowing have historically maintained high nutrient turnover and succession disruption that led to high biodiversity, leading to their inclusion in the Natura 2000 network.
