  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. Soil carbon sequestration in Swedish semi-natural grasslands: An opportunity for climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation? : A literature study of soil carbon sequestration in relation to biodiversity

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Anna-Sofia Hellsten; [2022]
    Keywords : Soil carbon sequestration; semi-natural grassland; climate; biodiversity; Kolinlagring i jord; naturbetesmark; klimat; biologisk mångfald;

    Abstract : The urgent issue with a changing climate has shed a light on the agricultural system and related climate mitigatory opportunities. One natural climate solution that has reached a lot of attention during the later years is carbon sequestrations in soils. READ MORE

  4. 3. The effects of historical land use on plant diversity in semi-natural grasslands

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Elisabeth Kumlander; [2022]
    Keywords : semi-natural grasslands; biodiversity; plant species; land-use sequences;

    Abstract : During the last two centuries, large-scale administrational and technological reforms have drastically changed the agricultural landscape in Sweden. The meadows and semi-natural grasslands that once played a central role in the agricultural landscape have been reduced with up to 95%. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hur nutidens ängs- och naturbetesmarkers beskaffenhet och skötsel kan anpassas till att förbättra pollinering inom trädgårdsnäringen

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Keywords : naturbetesmark; ängsmark; pollinering; frukt; bär; trädgårdsodling; trädgårdsnäring; syrphidae; lepidoptera; bombus; solitära bi; fragmentering; korridorer; skötsel;

    Abstract : Genom pollinering överförs pollen av pollinerare till grödor som därigenom befruktas. Jordbruk och trädgårdsnäring är beroende av pollinering av deras blommande växter. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of past fragmentation and habitat loss and current management methods on the changes in vascular plant communities. : An evaluation of extinction debt in semi-natural grasslands in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Adina Sennblad; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Habitat loss and fragmentation are believed to be two of the main reasons for high extinction rates of species, resulting in decreased biodiversity. According to the island biogeography theory, the species richness in a patch, here a semi-natural grassland, is dependent on the landscape composition, and therefore changes in the landscape composition will result in changes in the species richness of the grassland.
