Traditional prescribed burning of coastal heathland provides niches for xerophilous and sun‑loving beetles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In Western Norway, farmers have traditionally used fire as a management tool in coastal heathlands to enhance the fodder quality for livestock. Rotational prescribed burning increases landscape heterogeneity by creating a ... -
Transition from heathland to scrub in south-eastern Tasmania: extent of change since the 1970s, floristic depletion and management implications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02)Heathland is a speciose and floriferous vegetation type, defined by its stature (<2 m) and dominance by scleromorphic shrubs. Heathland has been in decline globally, and much of its loss has been due to less frequent fire, ... -
Type of broadleaf forest matters most for ptyctimous mite communities (Acari, Oribatida) in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We studied ptyctimous moss mites, which are characteristic of forest habitats, in Norwegian broadleaf forests considered as biodiversity hotspot areas in Fennoscandia. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of different ... -
Using Red List species in designating protection status to forest areas: a case study on the problem of spatio-temporal dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Red-listed species are often used as target species in selection of sites for conservation. However, limitations to their use have been pointed out, and here we address the problem of expected high spatio-temporal dynamics ...
