2. 1. Effective conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes

   Author : William Sidemo Holm; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem services; agri-environmental measures; cost-effectiveness; conservation;

   Abstract : Agricultural land use is a major driver of biodiversity losses and changes in ecosystem services. Thus, for the sake of both humans and wild organism per se, effective strategies that enable both agricultural production and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services are urgently needed.

4. 2. Conservation of semi-natural grasslands : Effects of different management methods on biodiversity

   Author : Malin Tälle; Lars Westerberg; Per Milberg; Uno Wennergren; Hans Henrik Bruun; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Species-rich semi-natural grassland are valuable habitats in the agricultural landscape as they may contain a high diversity of both plant and animal species, as well as provide essential ecosystem services like pollination. To keep these habitats open and to maintain the biodiversity in them, management like grazing or mowing is necessary. READ MORE

5. 3. Wooded or treeless pastures? : Linking policy, farmers' decisions and biodiversity

   Author : Simon Jakobsson; Regina Lindborg; Sara A O Cousins; Jan Plue; Tim Benton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bat; biodiversity; bird; canopy cover; Common Agricultural Policy; European Union; farmer; functional diversity; germination; grassland; multi-taxa; pasture; plant; policy; seed sowing; tree density; trees; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Worldwide, biodiversity conservation is one of the key challenges for a sustainable future of nature and society. It is particularly important to preserve high quality habitats within otherwise intensively managed agricultural landscapes. READ MORE

6. 4. Fungal disease dynamics, genetic variation and biodiversity-yield relationships : — a study along a gradient of coffee management in southwestern Ethiopia

   Author : Beyene Zewdie Hailu; Kristoffer Hylander; Ayco J.M Tack; Jacques Avelino; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Armillaria root rot; biodiversity; biodiversity-yield trade-offs; coffee; Coffea arabica; coffee berry disease; coffee leaf rust; coffee wilt disease; coffee yield; genetic composition; genetic diversity; hyperparasite; management intensity gradient; southwestern Ethiopia; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

   Abstract : Intensification of agricultural systems is a major threat to the associated biodiversity and could also affect the dynamics of pests and pathogens. One such system that is currently under an intensification trajectory is the production of Arabica coffee. READ MORE

7. 5. Plant Species Composition and Diversity in Cliff and Mountain Ecosystems

   Author : Henrik Antonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cliff ecology; bryophytes; biodiversity; beta diversity; dispersal; facilitation; nurse plant; plant-plant interactions; Silene acaulis; stress;

   Abstract : Ecosystems today are under increasing pressure from a rapidly changing climate, changes in land-use, habitat fragmentation and degradation and increasing anthropogenic disturbance. Studying drivers of biodiversity patterns is of increasing importance for understanding the dynamics of communities and their reactions and adaptation to changes in the future. READ MORE
