  1. 1. An attempt to promote ground-nesting bees in an urban landscape. Investigating the use of sand beds as a conservation effort.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Bodil Mattson; [2024-02-16]
    Keywords : ground-nesting bees - pollinator conservation - sand beds – conservation in urban parks;

    Abstract : Pollinators provide crucial services for the ecosystems by pollinating around 80-90% of all plants. However, pollinating insects are declining worldwide which may cause a parallel decline in plant species leading to large biodiversity losses. READ MORE

  3. 2. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting

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

    Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2024]
    Keywords : artificial waterways; riparian zone; novel ecosystems; ; forestry; ditch network maintenance; species richness; hill-diversity; drainage ditches; coarse woody debris; ditch cleaning; ecology;

    Abstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.
