    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.

  3. 7. Exploring the conditions for a shift to Continuous Cover Forestry in Sweden : a practice-based approach to understanding what enables and challenges forest management practitioners to practice Continuous Cover Forestry

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

    Author : Filippa Morner; [2023]
    Keywords : environmental communication; social practice theory; practice based approach; Continuous Cover Forestry; forest management practices; Swedish forestry;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the adoption of Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) in response to mounting environmental concerns stemming from conventional forestry in Sweden.
