  2. 11. Forest operations in multifunctional forestry

    Author : Örjan Grönlund; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Forests provide a variety of ecosystem services and traditional forest management is largely based on the extraction of one product, wood. Multifunctional forestry, forest management aimed at benefitting multiple ecosystem services, has emerged as awareness has grown of other forest ecosystem services. READ MORE

  4. 12. Environmental protection in Swedish forestry : a study of the implementation process

    Author : Katarina Eckerberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; clear felling; environmental policy; forest policy; Forestry Act; implementation analysis; nature conservation; public participation;

    Abstract : According to the Swedish Forestry Act, environmental protection is required within forest operations regardless of forest ownership. This thesis examines the extent to which regulations issued by the National Board of Forestry are implemented in clearcuttings. READ MORE

  5. 13. A window into forest landscapes : Studying the relationship between forests, ownership, ecosystem services, and biodiversity in landscapes

    Author : Tristan Bakx; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Forest; Landscape; Space; Spatial scale; Ownership; Sustainability; Trade-offs; Biodiversity; Conservation; Forestry;

    Abstract : Production forests are faced with the challenge of adapting to environmental change and simultaneously helping mitigate it and host rich biodiversity. This leads to new conflicts and trade-offs for forest management. Many management options have been proposed to achieve these goals while minimizing the loss of timber production. READ MORE
