  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Predation and shorebirds: predation management, habitat effects and public opinions

  7. 5. Effects of winter-feeding on reindeer’s future ability to utilize natural pastures

    Författare :Heidi Rautiainen; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Winter feeding of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) has become an increasingly common management action in reindeer husbandry in Sweden, Finland, and Norway when natural grazing resources are unavailable due to the loss of grazing grounds, disturbances, and icing events. In the short term, feeding increases survival and reproduction, but the long-term effects on reindeer’s ability to utilize natural pastures have not been investigated. LÄS MER
