Evaluating partial cutting in broadleaved temperate forest under strong experimental control: Short-term effects on herbaceous plants (2005, background): “In Sweden, the forestry boards classify many stands of this type as woodland key habitats (NBF, 1999a; Gustafsson, 2000; Götmark and Thorell, 2003), stating that partial cutting may be one management alternative, in particular for saving old oaks (Quercus robur and Q.”
Very Large Protected Areas and Their Contribution to Terrestrial Biological Conservation (2010, background): “…functions for some biodiversity features, particularly in highly fragmented environments and where these features are less area demanding, and their retention may also be key to future restoration activities (Cowling and Bond 1991, Turner and Corlett 1996, Schwartz 1999, Götmark and Thorell 2003).”
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “Götmark and Thorell (2003) Wnd a negative density-area relationship between the number of large trees, snags and logs per unit area and the reserve size in southern Sweden.”
Shrubs protect oak seedlings against ungulate browsing in temperate broadleaved forests of conservation interest: A field experiment (2012, background): “In species-rich broadleaved stands, however, fencing is likely to be even more expensive as these areas are often small and conservation considerations can limit the use of heavy equipment (Götmark and Thorell, 2003; Swedish Forest Agency, 2009b).”
Factors and scales potentially important for saproxylic beetles in temperate mixed oak forest (2007, background): “In southern Sweden, semi-natural forests with higher biodiversity values occur as small fragments in the dominating coniferous production forest; they are currently mapped as woodland key habitats (WKH, see Gustafsson, 2002; Götmark and Thorell, 2003).”
