21. Nanoscale studies of the atmospheric corrosion of copper protected by ultrathin organic films
Sammanfattning : Copper (Cu) has been utilised by humans for millenniums and has become an indispensable metal in modern industry and in our infrastructure. However, corrosion, as a natural process for metallic materials, takes place on copper surfaces in most environments. LÄS MER
22. To do or not to do : dealing with the dilemma of intervention in Swedish nature conservation
Sammanfattning : Nature conservation is often seen as being primarily about shielding parts of nature from human intervention, e.g. by protecting areas.

24. Fragmented landscapes : Assessment and communication of landscape connectivity in human-dominated landscapes
Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis summarizes the first half of my PhD on the theme of management of fragmented landscapes. The thesis applies – and reflects on the use of – network analysis of connectivity in relation to landscape planning. LÄS MER
25. Spatial complexity and fit between ecology and management : Making sense of patterns in fragmented landscapes
Sammanfattning : Avoiding the negative effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is especially challenging when also the management institutions are spatially and administratively distributed. This doctoral thesis introduces five case studies that investigate ecological, social and social-ecological relations in fragmented landscapes. LÄS MER
