  1. 11. On The Side of the Forest Owner: : A Discourse Analysis of the Swedish Reception of the EU ForestStrategy for 2030

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Emil Olofsson; [2023]
    Keywords : EU Forest Strategy for 2030; Swedish Forest Policy; Discourse Analysis; Just Transitio;

    Abstract : The new EU Forest Strategy for 2030, one of the flagship initiatives of the European Green Deal, has put EU forest policy in a new expansionary phase with ambitious goals for future forest management in Member States. This thesis analyzes contestation over the EU Forest Strategy for 2030 in Sweden to understand how discursive representations of forests are interlinked with justice perceptions. READ MORE

  3. 12. Identification of restoration hotspots in landscape-scale green infrastructure planning based on model-predicted connectivity forest

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Xiaoming Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : boreal forest; conservation; restoration; connectivity; green infrastructure; GIS; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Boreal forest landscapes have undergone severe anthropogenic fragmentation and their enormous values concerning, e.g., ecosystem service, biodiversity and culture are hazarded. READ MORE

  4. 13. Mikrohabitat i träd : veteranisering i stadsmiljö och stadsnära miljöer

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Linnéa Björndahl; Wilma Ruckle; [2023]
    Keywords : habitatskapande; veteranträd; TreMs; biodiversitet; död ved; trädskador; trädskötsel;

    Abstract : Det finns i dagsläget en brist på gamla träd som är rika på mikrohabitat vilka inhyser många rödlistade arter. Utöver detta finns även ett stort åldersglapp mellan dagens unga och gamla träd vilket innebär att det kommer saknas ersättare för de viktiga mikrohabitaten när de gamla träden dör. READ MORE

  5. 14. 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.

  6. 15. 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.
