    • Priority maps for pollinator habitat enhancement schemes in semi-natural grasslands 

      Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Eldegard, Katrine; Venter, Zander; Evju, Marianne; Åström, Jens; Rusch, Graciela (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Conserving semi-natural grasslands, a threatened habitat type in European landscapes, is increasingly recognized as a measure to conserve pollinators. Our aim was to test if (a) prediction maps of solitary bee species ...
    • The role of past landscape structure and present management in semi-natural grasslands for wild bee species richness and abundance 

      Olsen, Mikaela Embla Grøndal Persdotter (Master thesis, 2020)
      1. During the last century the area of semi-natural grasslands has been dramatically reduced in all European countries, including Norway. Semi-natural grasslands provide habitats for wild pollinators such as wild bees and ...

    • Spatial overlap between environmental policy instruments and areas of high conservation value in forest 

      Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Søgaard, Gunnhild; Rusch, Graciela; Barton, David Nicholas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      In order to safeguard biodiversity in forest we need to know how forest policy instruments work. Here we use a nationwide network of 9400 plots in productive forest to analyze to what extent large-scale policy instruments, ...
