• Adaptive biodiversity management of semi-natural hay meadows: The case of West-Norway 

      Wehn, Sølvi; Burton, Rob J.F.; Riley, Mark; Johansen, Line; Hovstad, Knut; Rønningen, Katrina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-30)
      Worldwide semi-natural habitats of high biological value are in decline. Consequently, numerous AgriEnvironment Schemes (AESs) intended to halt biodiversity loss within these habitats have been implemented. One approach ...
    • Ceased grazing management changes the ecosystem services of semi-natural grasslands 

      Johansen, Line; Taugourdeau, Simon; Hovstad, Knut Anders; Wehn, Sølvi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Understanding how drivers of change affect ecosystem services (ES) is of great importance. Indicators of ES can be developed based on biophysical measures and be used to investigate the service flow from ecosystems to ...
    • A global view of aspen: Conservation science for widespread keystone systems 

      Rogers, Paul C.; Pinno, Bradley D.; Sebesta, Jan; Albrectsen, Benedicte R.; Li, Guoqing; Ivanova, Natalya; Kusbach, Antonín; Kuuluvainen, Timo; Landhäusser, Simon M.; Liu, Hongyan; Myking, Tor; Pulkkinen, Pertti; Wen, Zhongming; Kulakowski, Dominik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-31)
      Across the northern hemisphere, six species of aspen (Populus spp.) play a disproportionately important role in promoting biodiversity, sequestering carbon, limiting forest disturbances, and providing other ecosystem ...
    • Localized Agri-Food Systems and Biodiversity 

      Bele, Bolette; Norderhaug, Ann; Sickel, Hanne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-02)
      Interest in localized agri-food systems has grown significantly in recent years. They are associated with several benefits and are seen as important for rural development. An important share of the academic debate addresses ...
    • The potential to use documentation in national Red Lists to characterize red-listed forest species in Fennoscandia and to guide conservation 

      Tingstad, Lise; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Felde, Vivian Astrup; Juslén, Aino; Hyvärinen, Esko; Dahlberg, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-30)
      Loss of biodiversity is a pressing global issue, hence it is vital to facilitate informed and effective conservation. As conservation mainly operates at the level of habitats, aiming for species of conservation interest, ...
    • The relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem services and the effects of grazing cessation in semi-natural grasslands 

      Wehn, Sølvi; Hovstad, Knut; Johansen, Line (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-13)
      Land use change can affect biodiversity, and this has an impact on ecosystem services (ESs), but the relationships between biodiversity and ESs are complex and poorly understood. Biodiversity is declining due to the ...
