Background: Gradients in local environmental characteristics may favour the abundance of species with particular traits, while other species decline, or favour species with different traits at the same time, without a...
Background:Rapid climate changes lead to an increase in forest disturbance,which in turn lead to growing concerns for biodiversity.While saproxylic beetles are relevant indicators for studying different aspects of bio...
Different projects from national and international calls between 1995 and present.
Intensive forest management has been applied in most Fennoscandian forests for a period of almost one felling rotation.This paradigm has produced even-aged and even-structured forests of different successional stages ...
This paper is part of a PhD-project funded by“Stiftelsen Oscar och Lili Lamms Minne”and Skogssällskapet(Grants to TL);Open access funding provided by Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
Background:Fires have been an important natural disturbance and pervasive evolutionary force in the boreal biome.Yet,fire suppression has made forest fires rare in the managed landscapes in Fennoscandia,causing signif...

Dead wood is a habitat for many insects and other small animals, some of which may be rare or endangered and in need of effective protection. In this paper, saproxylic beetle assemblages associated with different host...
