1. 1. Remote sensing of grassland communities : integrated effects of soil nutrients and habitat age

   Författare :Oskar Löfgren; Biodiversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Remote sensing; Plant ecology; semi-natural grassland; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Semi-natural grassland; Plant ecology; Remote sensing; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Spectral reflectance; grassland specialists; Succession;

   Sammanfattning : Semi-natural grasslands are characterized by high fine-scale plant species richness. The richest grassland communities, with many habitat-specialist species, are found in ancient grassland sites that have a long continuity of grazing management and low levels of soil nutrients. Grazed grasslands were widespread in the historical landscape. LÄS MER

3. 2. Plant community assembly during succession from arable fields to semi-natural grassland

   Författare :Barbara Christine Schmid; Biodiversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diversity; arable-to-grassland succession; space-for-time approach; land-use history; plant community assembly; grazing management; connectivity measures; dispersal vector; vascular plants; grassland specialist conservation;

   Sammanfattning : Large areas of grazed, species rich semi-natural grassland were lost in Europe during the last two centuries and as a consequence led to decreases in grassland specialist species. Therefore, today the “restoration” of grassland on previously arable fields is recommended for the protection of grassland specialists. LÄS MER

4. 3. Small remnant habitats : Important structures in fragmented landscapes

   Författare :Jessica Lindgren; Sara Cousins; Regina Lindborg; Adam Kimberley; Ove Eriksson; Hans Henrik Bruun; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alpha-diversity; Beta-diversity; Biological pest control; Canopy cover; Connectivity; Ecosystem function; Fleshy fruits; Forest edge; Forest management; Forest specialist species; Fragmentation; Functional diversity; Gamma-diversity; Grassland specialist species; Green infrastructure; Habitat amount hypothesis; Island biogeography; Midfield islets; Plant diversity; Plant-pollinator interaction; Pollination; Remnant habitat; Seed predation; Small habitats; Species richness; Structural heterogeneity; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : The world-wide intensification of agriculture has led to a decline in species richness due to land use change, isolation, and fragmentation of natural and semi-natural habitats in agricultural and forestry landscapes. As a consequence, there is a current landscape management focus on the importance of green infrastructure to mitigate biodiversity decline and preserve ecosystem functions e. LÄS MER

5. 4. Plant species diversity patterns in a Swedish rural landscape : effects of the past and consequences for the future

   Författare :Sara A. O. Cousins; Roy Haines-Young; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Plant species richness in rural landscapes is threatened as grassland management ceases or changes, and as many remaining semi-natural grasslands are becoming increasingly fragmented. This thesis is a study of plant species diversity in a rural landscape in south-eastern Sweden, and its relationship to management history and landscape pattern. LÄS MER

7. 5. Woody or treeless pastures? Effects of EU tree density limitations on biodiversity in woody pastures

   Författare :Simon Jakobsson; Regina Lindborg; Tomas Pärt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The high biological and cultural values of traditionally managed rural landscapes are threatened by habitat change and degradation due to homogenisation through modern agricultural practices and abandonment. Woody pastures are important for many different taxa, and hence crucial for biodiversity conservation in these agricultural landscapes. LÄS MER
