    Author : Mattias Lindholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Heathland; Calluna vulgaris; Conservation biology; Management; Coleoptera; Carabidae; Lycosidae; Conservation strategy;

    Abstract : Heathland is a familiar landscape type in southwest Sweden. It is open with few trees, and the vegetation is dominated by dwarf-shrubs growing on nutrient-poor soils. Dry heaths with Heather Calluna vulgaris and wet heaths with Bell Heather Erica tetralix are common vegetation communities in the heathland, and they often form mosaics. READ MORE
