Agricultural Land Use Determines the Trait Composition of Ground Beetle Communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In order to improve biological control of agricultural pests, it is fundamental to understand which factors influence the composition of natural enemies in agricultural landscapes. In this study, we aimed to understand how agricultural land use affects a

Boreal forest fertilization leads to functional homogenization of ground beetle assemblages
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2021 1. Intensive fertilization of young spruce forest plantations (i.e. ‘nutrient optimiza -tion’) has the potential to meet increasing demands for carbon sequestration and biomass production from boreal forests.
