1. 1. Managing diversity : the forest development types as a framework for management within mixed forest systems

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Pernilla Fridberg; [2023]
   Keywords : urban forestry; urban woodland; recreational forests; forest structure; vegetation structure; forest development types; mixed forest systems; forest management; close-to-nature management; Scanian forest systems; sustainable forest management; ecological values; resilience; sustainable cities; biodiversity; ; profile diagrams; conservation efforts; herbaceous mixed stands; species diversity; reference landscapes; forest communities;

   Abstract : The demand for both biodiversity and recreational forests is increasing. Management methods under the umbrella term Close-to-Nature management, which aims to incorporate natural successional patterns and disturbances, is considered preferable to traditional forest management methods in terms of both recreational and ecological values (Wimberly et al.

3. 2. Claws and Effect : how Small Carnivore Richness Responds to Habitat Diversity and Ecological Productivity

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Author : Emilia Arkdalen; [2023]
   Keywords : small carnivore; camera trap; occupancy model; species richness; productivity; habitat richness; habitat evenness;

   Abstract : Species distribution and composition research has gained significance in light of global warming and its impact on biodiversity. Understanding the factors shaping species richness is crucial for wildlife ecology and conservation. READ MORE

4. 3. Carabidocoenoses and Fragments of Forests : exploring the Carabid Landscape

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Simon Heinrich Arns; [2023]
   Keywords : biodiversity; Carabidae; carabid diversity; entomology; Fragmentation; Fragstats; habitat fragmentation; habitat Heterogeneity; landscape; landscape ecology; landscape Heterogeneity; pitfall trap; quantifying fragmentation;

   Abstract : 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.

5. 4. Beetle Diversity – Land Sparing or Land Sharing? : the effects of timber extraction and restoration method on saproxylic beetle assemblages in mature managed pine forests

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Ella Amnéus; Sebastian Hjelström; [2023]
   Keywords : Saproxylic Beetles; Ecological Restoration; Deadwood; Biodiversity; Boreal Forest; Fire Ecology; Land-sparing; Land-sharing; Conservation Management;

   Abstract : The impoverishment of saproxylic beetle communities is a growing concern for management of boreal forest biodiversity. Past research has found active restoration methods, such as creating deadwood and conducting prescribed burnings, to have a short-term positive effect on the species richness and compositional diversity of saproxylic beetle assemblages.

6. 5. Italian winegrowers’ acceptance of results-based agri-environmental schemes

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Margherita Muzzillo; [2023]
   Keywords : outcome-based agri-environmental schemes; Italy; contingent valuation method; common agricultural policy;

   Abstract : As the debate around the cost-effectiveness of outcome-based agri-environmental schemes (AES) is growing at the European level, the potential of the payment-by-results system is currently being explored by researchers and policymakers. These payment schemes have many benefits. READ MORE
