  1. 1. Restoration of semi-natural grasslands : Impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services and stakeholder perceptions

    Författare :Emelie Waldén; Regina Lindborg; Sara A O Cousins; Erik Öckinger; Aveliina Helm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biodiversity; Ecosystem services; Farmer; Landscape ecology; Plant; Policy; Restoration; Semi-natural grassland; Biologisk mångfald; Ekosystemtjänster; Landskapsekologi; Lantbrukare; Naturbetesmark; Policy; Restaurering; Växter; Äng; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Humans play a major role shaping the living conditions for not only ourselves, but also all other species on Earth. In fact, some species-rich habitat types require human management to uphold the biodiversity and related ecosystem services. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Butterfly Diversity and Dispersal in Fragmented Grasslands

    Författare :Erik Öckinger; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Naturvetenskap; Djurekologi; Animal ecology; Ekologi; Ecology; Lepidoptera; Landscape ecology; Insects; Species richness; Fragmentation; Mobility; Natural science; Source-sink dynamics; Metapopulations;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades, the distribution and abundance of many European species of birds, plants and insects in agricultural landscapes have declined due to agricultural intensification. To be able to mitigate these declines, it is essential to know the relative importance on local and regional ecological processes on population persistence and patterns of species richness. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Plant species diversity in semi-natural grasslands. Effects of scale, landscape structure and habitat history

    Författare :Triin Reitalu; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; habitat fragmentation; landscape diversity; habitat connectivity; historical maps; continuity; land-use history;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis examines the impact of present and past landscape structure, habitat history and management on different aspects of present-day plant species diversity in fragmented semi-natural grasslands in Sweden and in Estonia. Species diversity was significantly associated with present and/or past grassland connectivity in the majority of the studies in the thesis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Effects of landscape context on populations of bumblebees

    Författare :Anna Persson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Apoidea; Bombus; Campanula; agriculture; land-use intensity; complexity; garden; grassland; field border; MFC; pollination; Factor Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : To investigate recent declines in bumblebee populations, I carried out landscape analyses, made field studies of bumblebees, flowering plants and pollination in an agricultural region in southernmost Sweden. Studies were carried out in landscapes of contrasting agricultural intensity and land-cover configuration; "simple" landscapes highly dominated by large crop fields, and "complex" with mixed farming, grasslands and smaller fields.

  7. 5. On starlings and farming: population decline, foraging strategies, cost of reproduction and breeding success

    Författare :Måns Bruun; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; breeding success; foraging strategies; intensification; agricultural methods; population decline; farmland bird; cost of reproduction; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The European Starling Sturnus vulgaris as many other farmland bird species has been declining during the last decades. The cause of these declines is generally believed to be changes with in agricultural methods affecting breeding and survival of birds. LÄS MER
