  1. 1. Effects of climate and land-use change on retention of semi-natural grassland plant species : A landscape study in southern and central Sweden

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Malin Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Semi-natural grasslands; Climate change; Land-use changes; Large-scale study; Red list; Hävdgynnade gräsmarker; klimatförändringar; markanvändningsförändringar; storskalig studie; rödlistan;

    Abstract : Plants associated with the historical agricultural landscape are threatened. Land-use changes causing loss, fragmentation and degradation of semi-natural grassland habitats have resulted in many species becoming Red Listed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Är ekologiska marker värdefulla?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Elin Lönnberg; [2021]
    Keywords : ekologiskt; ängs- och betesmarksinventering; gräsmarker; bete; naturbete; äng; biologisk mångfald; växter; miljöstöd;

    Abstract : Hävdade gräsmarker är en av de mest artrika biotoperna i världen, ändå minskar dem i antal. Gräsmarkernas artrikedom kommer från flera århundraden av kontinuerlig hävd som har hållit tillbaka starka konkurrenter som annars riskerade att ta över, vilket tillåtit en stor variation av växter att etablera sig.

  4. 3. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Timothy Micallef; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Land-use; Biodiversity; Grazing land; Remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of restoration of semi-natural grassland on arthropod populations

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Molly Wikingson; [2021]
    Keywords : Arthropoda; Conservation; Grasslands; Landscape factors; Restoration success; Species rich communities;

    Abstract : Semi-natural grasslands are valuable ecosystems that have a high biodiversity. Unfortunately, a lot of this biodiversity is being lost as semi-natural grasslands are declining in both size and number. Restoration to reestablish semi-natural grasslands is often done by removing shrubs and trees and planting seeds. READ MORE

  6. 5. Differences in plant trait distribution in semi-natural grassland habitats of Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Viivi Vepsäläinen; [2020]
    Keywords : Plant traits; semi-natural grassland habitats; landscape openness; landscape ecology;

    Abstract : Habitat type has been suggested to be a major factor contributing to differencesin plant trait distribution of grassland habitats. Land use changes in agricultural landscapes have affected the available habitats and the dispersal ability of plants, which may effect plant trait diversity of agricultural landscapes. READ MORE
