Keeping pace with forestry : Multi-scale conservation in a changing production forest matrix

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The multi-scale approach to conserving forest biodiversity has been used in Sweden since the 1980s, a period defined by increased reserve area and conservation actions within production forests. However, two thousand forest-associated species remain on Sweden's red-list, and Sweden's 2020 goals for sustainable forests are not being met. We argue that ongoing changes in the production forest matrix require more consideration, and that multi-scale conservation must be adapted to, and integrated with, production forest development. To make this case, we summarize trends in habitat provision by Sweden's protected and production forests, and the variety of ways silviculture can affect biodiversity. We discuss how different forestry trajectories affect the type and extent of conservation approaches needed to secure biodiversity, and suggest leverage points for aiding the adoption of diversified silviculture. Sweden's long-term experience with multi-scale conservation and intensive forestry provides insights for other countries trying to conserve species within production landscapes.

Replacing monocultures with mixed-species stands : Ecosystem service implications of two production forest alternatives in Sweden
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Ambio. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0044-7447 .- 1654-7209. ; 45, s. 124-139
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Whereas there is evidence that mixed-species approaches to production forestry in general can provide positive outcomes relative to monocultures, it is less clear to what extent multiple benefits can be derived from specific mixed-species alternatives. To provide such insights requires evaluations of an encompassing suite of ecosystem services, biodiversity, and forest management considerations provided by specific mixtures and monocultures within a region. Here, we conduct such an assessment in Sweden by contrasting even-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies)-dominated stands, with mixed-species stands of spruce and birch (Betula pendula or B. pubescens), or spruce and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). By synthesizing the available evidence, we identify positive outcomes from mixtures including increased biodiversity, water quality, esthetic and recreational values, as well as reduced stand vulnerability to pest and pathogen damage. However, some uncertainties and risks were projected to increase, highlighting the importance of conducting comprehensive interdisciplinary evaluations when assessing the pros and cons of mixtures.

Svenskar, krigare, söner av Finland : maskulinitet, minoritetsnationalism, nationell identitet och sociala skillnader inom svenskspråkiga skyddskårer i Österbotten och Åboland 1918-1939

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation is a study on the Swedish-speaking Civil Guards in Ostrobothnia and Turunmaa in Finland during the Finnish interwar period (1918-1939). The study focuses on how they created their own Swedish minority nationalist identity in regards to the national project of White (bourgeois) Finland. They did so with the aid of conceptions and ideals of masculinities, nationalism, national identity and social differences. The Swedish-speaking Civil Guards were part of a turbulent time in Finnish history with Finland declaring independence and separating from Russia in 1917. The Finnish Civil Guard was an organisation forged by the Finnish Civil War of 1918 where it acted as the primary armed force on the White (bourgeois) side of the conflict. In 1919 the Civil Guard had about 107 000 members, which was the highest number during their active years, and membership was voluntary. During the 1920’s the total number of members remained relatively steady at about 80 000 members.This study implements an intersectional perspective consisting of four different main categories: masculinities, minority nationalism, national identity and social differences. These categories are then analysed together with theory on nationalist projects as presented by Nira Yuval-Davis. The empirical basis of this study is composed of material such as yearly summaries, minutes, and similar documents from different local civil guards in the two Swedish-speaking civil guard districts of Vaasa and Turunmaa. The study also bases itself on an analysis of two civil guard periodicals: Svenska Skyddskåristen (1919-1927) and Skyddskåristen (1928-1939).This study shows that the Swedish-speaking Civil Guards reproduced their own version of a bourgeois minority nationalist identity where militarised masculine ideals blended together with a focus on their Swedish heritage and blood, the responsibilities to the Finnish nation, and conceptions on social differences where different members of society received different status in their narrative. They romanticised the idea of the Ostrobothnian peasant as the cradle of Swedish heritage in Finland and a symbol of strength, honour and power. In addition, they reproduced a myth of heroic, manly sacrifice for the nation that was meant to urge its members and the Finnish people to act and defend the country.

The Swedish forestry model : more of everything?
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Forest Policy and Economics. - : Elsevier. - 1389-9341 .- 1872-7050. ; 77, s. 44-55
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- "The Swedish forestry model" refers to the forest regime that evolved following the 1993 revision of the Swedish Forestry Act. It is key to Swedish forest politics and used to capture the essence of a sustainable way of managing forests. However, the ideas, institutions and practices comprising the model have not been comprehensively analyzed previously. Addressing this knowledge gap, we use frame analysis and a Pathways approach to investigate the underlying governance model, focusing on the way policy problems are addressed, goals, implementation procedures, outcomes and the resulting pathways to sustainability. We suggest that the institutionally embedded response to pressing sustainability challenges and increasing demands is expansion, inclusion and integration: more of everything. The more-of-everything pathway is influenced by ideas of ecological modernization and the optimistic view that existing resources can be increased. Our findings suggest that in effect it prioritizes the economic dimension of sustainability. While broadening out policy formulation it closes down the range of alternative outputs, a shortcoming that hampers its capacity to respond to current sustainability challenges. Consequently, there is a need for a broad public debate regarding not only the role of forests in future society, but also the operationalization of sustainable development.

Changing ideas in forestry : A comparison of concepts in Swedish and American forestry journals during the early twentieth and twenty-first centuries
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- By combining digital humanities text-mining tools and a qualitative approach, we examine changing concepts in forestry journals in Sweden and the United States (US) in the early twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Our first hypothesis is that foresters at the beginning of the twentieth century were more concerned with production and less concerned with ecology than foresters at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Our second hypothesis is that US foresters in the early twentieth century were less concerned with local site conditions than Swedish foresters. We find that early foresters in both countries had broader—and often ecologically focused—concerns than hypothesized. Ecological concerns in the forestry literature have increased, but in the Nordic countries, production concerns have increased as well. In both regions and both time periods, timber management is closely connected to concerns about governance and state power, but the forms that governance takes have changed.

Forest governance and management across time : developing a new forest social contract
- 2017
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- The influence of the past, and of the future on current-time tradeoffs in the forest arena are particularly relevant given the long-term successions in forest landscapes and the hundred years' rotations in forestry. Historically established path dependencies and conflicts determine our present situation and delimit what is possible to achieve. Similarly, future trends and desires have a large influence on decision making. Nevertheless, decisions about forest governance and management are always made in the present – in the present-time appraisal of the developed situation, future alternatives and in negotiation between different perspectives, interests, and actors.This book explores historic and future outlooks as well as current tradeoffs and methods in forest governance and management. It emphasizes the generality and complexity with empirical data from Sweden and internationally. It first investigates, from a historical perspective, how previous forest policies and discourses have influenced current forest governance and management. Second, it considers methods to explore alternative forest futures and how the results from such investigations may influence the present. Third, it examines current methods of balancing tradeoffs in decision-making among ecosystem services. Based on the findings the authors develop an integrated approach – Reflexive Forestry – to support exchange of knowledge and understandings to enable capacity building and the establishment of common ground. Such societal agreements, or what the authors elaborate as forest social contracts, are sets of relational commitment between involved actors that may generate mutual action and a common directionality to meet contemporary challenges.

Forest futures by Swedish students : developing a mind mapping method for data collection

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Forests are an important natural resource in Sweden. They are used for multiple purposes, for example, providing economic returns from timber harvest, conservation of biodiversity, provision of wild berries and mushrooms and recreational benefits. People's perceptions of forests and forest use are currently under transformation due to drivers like globalization and urbanization. The aim of this study was to analyse in particular Swedish university student's visions of future forests using a newly developed survey method based on mind mapping. An online survey with mind map technique was used to collect data from university students in Umeå, northern Sweden. The study focused on features of forests, products derived from forests and activities in forests. The results indicate that students regard ecological, social and economic aspects of forests as important for future forests and the use of them. In particular, the role of non-wood forest products, like berries and mushrooms, as well as recreational features of forests were central to many of the students. The multitude of different visions suggests that forest management decisions of today, directing the future of forests, need to consider the multiple use of forests to be able to satisfy forest preferences also of younger generations.

Transformative change in context : stakeholders’ understandings of leverage at the forest–climate nexus
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Sustainability Science. - : Springer. - 1862-4065 .- 1862-4057. ; 17:5, s. 1921-1938
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Transformation acquires its meaning within contexts and particular settings where transformative change is experienced, and where people engage in meaning-making. We used the forest–climate nexus in Sweden as an empirical case study, and the leverage-points perspective as an analytical lens. The aim was to investigate contextual leverage for transformative change, and how our use of context and relations shapes our understanding of transformation and leverage for change. The empirical basis was a whole-day workshop, held in both northern and southern Sweden, for local forest stakeholders. To detract from current conflict and barriers to change, we asked the stakeholders to reflect on transformative change in the past and in the future, and the spatio-temporal relations that form the forest–climate nexus. Our analysis suggests that leverage associated with a transformative change in the future is commonly seen as universal and detached from context, reflecting, for example, national and global discourses on forests and climate change. Regarding transformative changes in the past, however, contextual leverage is linked to the community values and pluralism that drove the change in particular situations. Focusing on the complex spatio-temporal relations and meaning-making helps identify how leverage emerges from context, and how leverage also acquires a richer meaning for people experiencing transformative change.

Conflicting demands and shifts between policy and intra-scientific orientation during conservation research programmes
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Ambio. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0044-7447 .- 1654-7209. ; 46:6, s. 621-629

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Conservation scientists must meet the sometimes conflicting demands of policy and science, but not necessarily at the same time. We analysed the policy and intra-scientific orientations of research projects on effects of stump extraction on biodiversity, and found shifts over time associated with these demands. Our results indicate that uncertainties related to both factual issues and human decisions are often ignored in policy-oriented reports and syntheses, which could give misleading indications of the reliability or feasibility of any conclusions. The policy versus intra-scientific orientation of the scientific papers generated from the surveyed projects varied substantially, although we argue that in applied research, societal relevance is generally more important than intra-scientific relevance. To make conservation science more socially relevant, there is a need for giving societal relevance higher priority, paying attention to uncertainties and increasing the awareness of the value of cross-disciplinary research considering human decisions and values.

Socio-ecological implications of modifying rotation lengths in forestry

-
Ingår i: Ambio. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0044-7447 .- 1654-7209. ; 45, s. 109-123
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rotation length is a key component of even-aged forest management systems. Using Fennoscandian forestry as a case, we review the socioecological implications of modifying rotation lengths relative to current practice by evaluating effects on a range of ecosystem services and on biodiversity conservation. The effects of shortening rotations on provisioning services are expected to be mostly negative to neutral (e.g. production of wood, bilberries, reindeer forage), while those of extending rotations would be more varied. Shortening rotations may help limit damage by some of today's major damaging agents (e.g. root rot, cambium-feeding insects), but may also increase other damage types (e.g. regeneration pests) and impede climate mitigation. Supporting (water, soil nutrients) and cultural (aesthetics, cultural heritage) ecosystem services would generally be affected negatively by shortened rotations and positively by extended rotations, as would most biodiversity indicators. Several effect modifiers, such as changes to thinning regimes, could alter these patterns.

Konflikten om bärplockning är av gammalt datum

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den politiska majoriteten i riksdagen har hela tiden gått emot förslagen om inskränkningar av allemansrätten till skogens vilda bär. Man har erkänt att det förekommer konflikter kring resursen, men menat att de kan förebyggas och lösas genom undervisning och information om vilka lagar och regler som gäller i skog och mark och inte via hårdare regleringar som stärker markägarnas rätt till bären.Avgörande för denna inställning tycks hittills ha varit att bären är alltför lite utnyttjad resurs – även som kommersiell produkt och som växer utan att markägaren behöver göra några investeringar. Det har därför funnits en farhåga att begränsningar av rätten till att plocka skulle göra resursen ännu mindre utnyttjad, vilket setts som en nationalekonomisk nackdel.Trots att skogens bär är en så användbar resurs är det nämligen endast en liten del som plockas. Av de uppskattningsvis 300 miljoner kilo bär som växer i de svenska skogarna varje år är det alltjämt uppskattningsvis endast cirka 5–10 procent som tas om hand. Samtidigt importeras stora mängder skogsbär i dag, liksom under hela 1900-talet. Nutida statistik visar exempelvis att när Sverige under 2000-talet exporterat mellan 6 000 och 9 000 ton blåbär per år så har vi också importerat mellan 4 000 och 5 000 ton.

Allemansrätten in Sweden : A resistant custom
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Landscapes. - 2040-8153. ; 15:2, s. 106-118
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- By studying parliamentary proposals, debates, and reports as well as governmental inquiries and proposals from the first half of the twentieth century, the authors analyse the status of the allemansrätt – ‘every man’s right’ to public access - in Sweden. The founding principles of this use-right have been generally accepted since the late nineteenth century, but for almost as long there has been a feeling that it has been used (and abused) for commercial as well as personal interest, first by ‘for-profit’ berry harvesters and later on by tourist companies. These uses have been questioned by a minority of conservative and (to a less extent) liberal landowners, who have tried to limit the right of public access to private land by addressing the issue in the parliament. At the same time, a political majority of socialists, liberals, and conservatives has defended the right from being either limited or regulated by law. This resistance is explained by the economic characteristics of the resources at stake, and by the difficulties associated with transferring a customary right into law, i.e. an informal institution to a formal institution.

Divergent interests and ideas around property rights : the case of berry harvesting in Sweden
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Forest Policy and Economics. - : Elsevier. - 1389-9341 .- 1872-7050. ; 33, s. 56-62
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper illustrates the clash between interests and ideas concerning property rights and regulation by analyzing the ongoing debate on the right of public access in Sweden, which has recently intensified due to an influx of foreign professional berry harvesters. The conflicts in Sweden are found to stem from contradictory concepts concerning property (notably, ownership and the right of public access) and ideological differences in terms of whether forest resources should be regulated by government or governance. While the precise circumstances of this case are somewhat unique to Sweden, differences of opinion concerning property rights and regulations are common and so our findings will be broadly applicable when defining and analyzing forest-related conflicts, especially those involving multiple-use situations.

“Forest property rights under attack” : Actors, networks and claims about forest ownership in the Swedish press 2014–2017
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Forest Policy and Economics. - : Elsevier. - 1389-9341 .- 1872-7050. ; 111
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden is a leading country in governance of property rights, according to global assessments, but Swedish landowners currently argue that their forest property rights are being eroded. Thus, the aim of this article is to investigate when and why the current debate on forest property rights came about, and its resemblance to discussion in an ‘echo-chamber’. This refers to an arena in which information is accessed from limited sources and a small number of actors with ideological homogeneity may exert substantial influence and reinforce established opinions. Hence, it may spread disinformation, increase polemic tensions, and hamper deliberative policy processes in society. We assess the resemblance by identifying where the issue is debated in printed news media, the active actors, the interests they represent and how they problematize property rights, i.e. the claims they make and the claims’ homogeneity. Our results show that the debate has intensified in recent years, but several issues are not new. The debate is mainly limited to the Swedish rural business press and rural conservative press. Moreover, the main claim-makers are representatives of land and forest owner organizations, and members of agrarian and conservative political parties, which have close organizational and individual connections, thereby forming a metaphorical ‘chamber’. The ‘echo’ consists of repetitive claims about withdrawal and management rights, with no efforts to examine and contextualize complex aspects of private property rights in a changing society. The debate about forest ownership in an echo-chamber is problematic in several ways. It hampers efforts of claim-makers in the chamber to reach out, undermines current systems’ legitimacy, and locks important questions about sustainable forestry and property rights into a narrow societal sphere.

Forskning för ett reflexivt, variationsrikt och hållbart skogsbruk
- 2017
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hållbart skogsbruk är en utmaning i en tid präglad av allt större efterfrågan på skogens ekosystemtjänster. Forskning som utförts vid Umeå universitet om skogens sociala värden, inklusive allemansrättens gränser, har påverkat uppfattningen om vilka skogens sociala värden är i ett svenskt perspektiv. Den har också bidragit till uppvärderingen av skogens estetiska och rekreationsmässiga värden. Detta synliggörs i nationella policydokument samt i utbildningssatsningar inom skogssektorn. Forskningen kan på längre sikt bidra till ett mer reflexivt, variationsrikt och socialt hållbart skogsbruk.Forskningen har utgjort en del av forskningsprogrammet Future Forests, ett transdisciplinärt forskningsprogram som påbörjades 2009. Huvuddelen av forskningen om skogens sociala värden har pågått mellan 2012 och 2016. Ett stort antal forskare från Umeå universitet och SLU har bidragit. Den nyckelforskare som lyfts fram här är Anna Sténs, fil. dr. i historia och aktiv vid Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier, Umeå universitet.Forskarna har samverkat med en rad aktörer inom skogssektorn, däribland miljörörelsen, Samiska organisationer, myndigheter, friluftslivsorganisationer och skogsindustri.

From ecological knowledge to conservation policy : a case study on green tree retention and continuous-cover forestry in Sweden
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Biodiversity and Conservation. - : Springer. - 0960-3115 .- 1572-9710. ; 28:13, s. 3547-3574
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The extent to which scientific knowledge translates into practice is a pervasive question. We analysed to what extent and how ecological scientists gave input to policy for two approaches advocated for promoting forest biodiversity in production forests in Sweden: green-tree retention (GTR) and continuous-cover forestry (CCF). GTR was introduced into forest policy in the 1970s and became widely implemented in the 1990s. Ecological scientists took part in the policy process by providing expert opinions, educational activities and as lobbyists, long before research confirming the positive effects of GTR on biodiversity was produced. In contrast, CCF was essentially banned in forest legislation in 1979. In the 1990s, policy implicitly opened up for CCF implementation, but CCF still remains largely a rare silvicultural outlier. Scientific publications addressing CCF appeared earlier than GTR studies, but with less focus on the effects on biodiversity. Ecological scientists promoted CCF in certain areas, but knowledge from other disciplines and other socio-political factors appear to have been more important than ecological arguments in the case of CCF. The wide uptake of GTR was enhanced by its consistency with the silvicultural knowledge and normative values that forest managers had adopted for almost a century, whereas CCF challenged those ideas. Public pressure and institutional requirements were also key to GTR implementation but were not in place for CCF. Thus, scientific ecological knowledge may play an important role for policy uptake and development, but knowledge from other research disciplines and socio-political factors are also important.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines which kinds of social benefits derived from forests are emphasised by Swedish stakeholders and what governance modes and management tools they accept. Our study shows that there exists a great variety among stakeholders’ perceptions of forests’ social values, where tourism and recreation is the most common reference. There are also differences in preferred governance modes and management where biomass and bioenergy sectors advocate business as usual (i.e. framework regulations and voluntarism) and other stakeholders demand rigid tools (i.e. coercion and targeting) and improved landscape planning. This divide will have implications for future policy orientations and require deliberative policy processes and improved dialogue among stakeholders and authorities. We suggest that there is a potential for these improvements, since actors from almost all stakeholder groups support local influence on governance and management, acknowledged and maintained either by the authorities, i.e. targeting, or by the stakeholders themselves, i.e. voluntarism.

Managing forest aesthetics in the boreal fringe

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The value and management of forest aesthetics have been heavily studied since the early 1970s. However, studies moving outsideof urban areas are less frequent. This also holds for Sweden. Previous research has focused on the southern, urban parts of thecountry rather than the sparsely populated, forest dependent, northern interior. However, to increase the quality of livelihood inthese areas, an aesthetically attractive environment is an important component. This paper discusses the attitudes to aestheticalconsiderations among forest owners and consultants in the northern parts of Sweden. It raises questions such as: Whichconsiderations have been taken to aesthetical values in boreal forests? What policies lay behind and what was gained from theseconsiderations? What are the attitudes to forest aesthetics today and who will be responsible for the preservation and creationof aesthetical values in the future? The study has been conducted through a qualitative literary review of previous research andinterviews with present stakeholders. Preliminary results show that the societal interest in forest aesthetics is high, but policiesregulating these values have become more vague. There also seem to be a discrepancy between forest owner’s and consultant’sattitudes when discussing aesthetical considerations in boreal productive forests.

- Skogsbrukets anpassning till estetiska och upplevelsemässiga värden förknippas ofta med tätortsnära skogar och tätbefolkade områden med mycket turism. Anna Sténs vid Future Forests vände på perspektivet och tog reda på hur skogsägare i ett glesbefolkat och skogsrikt Västerbotten tänker.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, ideas behind current Swedish efforts to integrate refugees in ‘green’ industries are analysed. We ask why the employment of refugees in forestry, a sector historically and globally notorious for its abuse of migrant workers, has come to be regarded as a solution in official Swedish migration policy. A discourse analytical approach is applied, analysing what the arguments are for introducing refugees to forestry work and how the forest, as a space, is depicted and used discursively as a means for refugee integration. The sources for the analyses consist of articles appearing in the printed press from 2015 to 2017. Three main problem discourses are identified: the ‘labour shortage’ discourse, the ‘refugees in need of work’ discourse and the ‘forest as a health-promoting learning environment’ discourse. The hazardous aspects of forestry work or the fact that refugees might be overqualified for the jobs offered are generally left unproblematised.
