Landscape and Climate‐Associated Selection in the Native and Widespread Bumblebee, <span> <i>Bombus terrestris</i> </span> Open
Anthropogenic land‐use and climate change pose novel selection pressures on bees, yet their evolutionary responses in terms of morphological or physiological adaptations remain unclear. While adaptive responses are expected, these may be c…

Impacts of carbon farming practices on biodiversity at the farm scale Open
1. Biodiversity loss from intensive agriculture poses a major threat to the long-term sustainability and resilience of food production systems. Sustainable land management practices, such as carbon farming, offer promising alternatives, bu…

Soil microbiome diversity under annual and perennial crops in conventional and organic agriculture.  Open
Microorganisms in agricultural soils play a key role in nutrient recycling and nutrient availability for plants. The diversity and abundance of these microorganisms and the subsequent microbiological processes can however be influenced by …

Landscape composition influences invertebrate herbivory on flowering forbs in semi-natural grasslands Open
Landscape-scale land use is important in driving species communities and interactions. However, despite increasing concerns regarding the ecological consequences of insect declines, our understanding of how the relative proportions of diff…

Green infrastructure has weak conceptual links with efficient biodiversity conservation Open
To reverse biodiversity loss, creating resilient ecological networks has been promoted in policy and practice. However, we argue that emphasising networks within policy without clear conservation prioritisations may direct focus away from …

Constraints on the availability of marginal land for bioenergy production in southern Sweden Open
roduction of biomass for bioenergy on marginal land has been promoted to decrease the use of non-renewable energy without competing with food production. Previous estimates of marginal land and abandoned farmland in Sweden available for bi…

Impacts of fire severity and salvage-logging on soil carbon fluxes in a boreal forest Open
The long-term carbon storage capacity of the boreal forest is under threat from the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires. In addition to the direct carbon emissions from combustion during a fire, the burnt forest often turns int…

Cost-effective biodiversity conservation with organic farming - spatial allocation is key Open
To make the best use of the limited funding for biodiversity conservation, resources should be used cost-effectively. Support to organic farming is a widely implemented strategy to enhance farmland biodiversity, yet its cost-effectiveness …

Abandonment or biomass production? Phytodiversity responses to land-use changes of semi-natural grasslands in northern Europe Open
European semi-natural grasslands are hotspots for biodiversity and important for the provisioning of multiple ecosystem services, but their extent has declined considerably during the past century. Increasing demands for agricultural and f…

Sensitivity to agricultural inputs and dispersal limitation determine the response of arable plants to time since transition to organic farming Open
Transitioning to low‐input agricultural systems such as organic farming has been acknowledged as a way to mitigate negative effects of agriculture on biodiversity. However, the speed, magnitude and context dependence of biodiversity recove…

Coupling economic & ecological models - the effect on biodiversity from energy grass production  Open
Bioenergy is expected to play a key role in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, with biomass from grass and forestry pointed out as some of the main bioenergy sources in Northern Europe. The increased demand for b…

Bioenergy crops, biodiversity and ecosystem services in temperate agricultural landscapes—A review of synergies and trade‐offs Open
The Paris agreement on climate change requires rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. One important mitigation strategy, at least in the intermediate future, is the substitution of fossil fuels with bioenergy. However, using agricul…

Urban tree composition is associated with breeding success of a passerine bird, but effects vary within and between years Open
Birds breeding in urban environments have lower reproductive output compared to rural conspecifics, most likely because of food limitation. However, which characteristics of urban environments may cause this deficiency is not clear. Here, …
