- Ongoing urban exploitation is increasing pressure to transform urban green spaces, while there is increasing awareness that greenery provides a range of important benefits to city residents. In efforts to help resolve associated problems we have developed a framework for integrated assessments of ecosystem service (ES) benefits and values provided by urban greenery, based on the ecosystem service cascade model. The aim is to provide a method for assessing the contribution to, and valuing, multiple ES provided by urban greenery that can be readily applied in routine planning processes. The framework is unique as it recognizes that an urban greenery comprises several components and functions that can contribute to multiple ecosystem services in one or more ways via different functional traits (e.g. foliage characteristics) for which readily measured indicators have been identified. The framework consists of five steps including compilation of an inventory of indicator; application of effectivity factors to rate indicators' effectiveness; estimation of effects; estimation of benefits for each ES; estimation of the total ES value of the ecosystem. The framework was applied to assess ecosystem services provided by trees, shrubs, herbs, birds, and bees, in green areas spanning an urban gradient in Gothenburg, Sweden. Estimates of perceived values of ecosystem services were obtained from interviews with the public and workshop activities with civil servants. The framework is systematic and transparent at all stages and appears to have potential utility in the existing spatial planning processes.

Foraging for identity : the relationships between landscape activities and landscape identity after catastrophic landscape change

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we deal with landscape activities in relation to changing landscape identity after a major wildfire in Sweden in 2014. The aim was to investigate the relationships between 22 landscape activities (before the fire) and 2 components (emotion and cognition) of landscape identity (before and after the fire). A total of 656 respondents living nearby the fire area participated in this study. Before the fire, a positive association was found between the activities of enjoying nature and foraging, and both components of landscape identity. This suggests that the more participants enjoyed nature and picked berries and mushrooms, the stronger their attachment to the landscape (emotion), and the more they remembered and reasoned about the landscape (cognition). Post fire, these relationships were found only between the two components of landscape identity and foraging. This implies a significant role of this type of activity for keeping alive' landscape identity.

Landscape identity, before and after a forest fire

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Our identity is tied to where we are and how we engage with the landscapes in which we find ourselves. But what happens if the landscape which we use for our everyday life is drastically altered by a catastrophic upheaval, for example, when forest fires ravage the landscape? In this paper, interviews with individuals affected by the largest forest fire in modern Swedish history are used to exemplify our conceptualisation of how landscape identity is impacted by dramatic change. We address the phases of stability, change and progression in relation to the case. Finally, we propose that landscape identity can be utilised as a central concept for engaging with the social aspects of the impact of forest fires.

“There will be mushrooms again” – Foraging, landscape and forest fire

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we address the relevance of recreational foraging, picking berries and mushrooms, for developing connection to nature and what happens when that practice is interrupted by drastic landscape change. We use the site of the largest forest fire in modern Swedish history as a case to examining the relevance of foraging. In previous studies, positive associations have been observed between the activity of picking berries and mushrooms with landscape-identity prior to forest fires. The results suggest that the more participants enjoyed foraging, the stronger their attachment to the landscape as well as memories and reasoning about the landscape. These relationships remainedafter the area has been drastically altered by fire, implying a significant role of foraging for keeping “alive” the positive feelings and memories of the forest landscape. Through questionnaires and semistructured interviews, we examine why individuals forage, what foraging meant for them before the event and how they relate to the landscape and foraging after the fire. Our findings suggest that these connections are built on an interplay between place, practice and intimate knowledge. We conclude that foraging play an essential role in defining and developing connections to landscape which can act as the basis for stewardship of the landscape. Management implications: • In order to facilitate reconnection to the landscape after a forest fire there is a need to understand how individuals and communities related to the landscape before the fire. • Foraging will always be reliant on issues of access, and specific management regimes. • Cultural values and small-scale activities play an essential role in defining and developing connections to landscape. Connections which can ultimately inform a sense of responsibility and stewardship. • Activities such as foraging are reliant on more than just the affordance provided by the physical and visual character of a landscape.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under sommaren 2020 vandrar Vänermuseets utställning Min plats i biosfären runt i biosfärområdet Vänerskärgården med Kinnekulle. Utställningen kommer stå på tre omtyckta platser och lyfta forskning om vilka favoritplatser människan har och vad de platserna betyder för människan. Hur påverkar dessa platser människan och hur kan människan påverka dem? Ett forskarlag vid Göteborgs universitet och Högskolan i Gävle har undersökt vilka attityder och tankar boende i biosfärområdet har kring sina favoritplatser, kulturmiljö och hållbar utveckling. Forskningen har finansierats av Riksantikvarieämbetet och spridningen av forskningsresultaten finansieras av Formas. En favoritplats blir viktig att bevara och utställningen lyfter fram hur biosfärområdets kommuner jobbar med detta. Utställningens besökare kommer inte bara kunna ta del av vilka platser andra gillar, de kommer själva kunna dela med sig om vilka platser de tycker är viktiga att skydda och ha kvar. Utställningen Min plats i biosfären kommer visas vid Stenhusbacken i Fröslunda i Lidköpings kommun under juni, vid Bäcken vid Ekudden i Mariestad under juli och avslutningsvis i Stora stenbrottet på Kinnekille i Götene kommun under augusti månad. I utställningen får besökarna även möjlighet att se alla platser under olika årstider genom filmklipp, ta del av biosfärområdet och dela med sig om hur de tycker det ska förvaltas och utvecklas på ett hållbart sätt!
