Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Abstract In this Poster presentation we would like to visually show the results from our collaboration in Fine Art/Visual Communication and Crafts Education integrated. We have presented lectures and workshops for Teacher Trainer students in Crafts Education at The Gothenburg University, School of Design and Crafts during 2012 – 2013. We both work as University Lectures at the Teacher Trainer department, teaching Crafts and Fine Art/Visual Communication. To express and visualize an idea The purpose to our collaboration has been to give the students training, in theory and practice, how to communicate ideas and visually show what the idea looks like. Our workshops and lessons have been given with the aim to show how Fine Art and Crafts can be integrated in their future professions when working with school children. Apart from the fact that we believe that drawing and sketching are important parts to train and practice for The Fine Art and Crafts Teachers to be, we would like to stress the point of integrating the subjects and collaborate over boarders. By inspiring and introducing Craft Teachers to collaborate with Fine Art, we hope this will open new possibilities for their professions as teachers in school later on working with children. Collaborating in Fine Art and Crafts, how and why… The results of our study, and for this Poster presentation the discussions and observations made, show that the students have noticed how their knowledge of drawing, sketching and expressing ideas have increased through integrating various forms of sketching in Crafts. It has made them braver to express individual and original ideas. They have come to see the importance of using different materials in 2D and 3D for expressing ideas. For example, many have not used pen and paper to express an idea since they were little or never. Furthermore they find they can see new possibilities from this collaboration, to bring to the children schools and the classrooms when working with young people, we note it has broadened their capacity to work and integrate. By practicing and training for themselves they feel more comfortable to teach and inspire the children. In our study it is clear that the students saw these workshops and lessons as important part of their Teacher Trainer Education in Crafts. They have also required more of this collaboration in their future crafts training. Workshops in action – Hands on meeting Fine Art and Crafts The study also includes documentary photographs starting from the workshops autumn term 2012 till present date. For this Poster presentation we would like to visually show but also explain the lessons and workshops in words and pictures. We hope to give a view over our collaboration and documentation from the actual workshops, what happened and what did it look like?

Is stump harvesting a remedy for the climate crisis or a curse for biodiversity? : An interdisciplinary study of conflicting goals

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Dead wood is recognized as being one of the most important factors for forest biodiversity for many organism groups. One of the Swedish official environmental objectives is therefore to increase dead wood volume. However, reducing climate impact through increased use of forest biofuels is likely to work against this objective. The analysis is based on a regional economic forest sector model, focusing on northern Sweden, that includes suppliers and major users of roundwood and ecological results of stump harvest on forest biodiversity.The parameters of the model are estimated with a data set spanning 28 years. We simulate the effects of an increased demand for wood fuels in northern Sweden, with or without stump harvest. The two scenarios have different effects on all major roundwood markets in the region, as well as on biodiversity. More specifically, in our model, the scenario with stump harvest implies a 0.3 percent decrease in the emissions of greenhouse gases and a 4.12 percent reduction in overall population density of saproxylic beetles on each years future clear cuts. Thus, a clear goal conflict exists.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Deadwood is recognized as one of the most important resources affecting forest biodiversity.Its absence from the forest landscape is, therefore, of concern, such that one official Swedishenvironmental objective is to increase the volume of deadwood. However, increasing the useof renewable energy sources, another environmental goal, is likely to work against thisbiodiversity objective. In this study we utilize a regional economic forest sector model,focusing on northern Sweden, in order to estimate the effect of a large scale introduction ofstump harvest on the future use of forest fuel. In addition, an ecological model, describing therelationship between the availability of dead wood and the abundance of saproxylic beetles, islinked to the economic model.The parameters used in the economic model are derived from a data set spanning 28 yearswhile the ecological model is derived from a survey of ten clear cuts, undertaken seven yearsafter the clear cutting, in order to investigate the abundance of saproxylic beetles in stumps.We simulate the effects of an increased demand for wood fuels in northern Sweden, with orwithout stump harvest. The two scenarios have different effects on all major round woodmarkets in the region, as well as on the abundance of saproxylic beetles. More specifically,the harvest of stumps is associated with a 5% reduction in the mean abundance of saproxylicbeetles living in deadwood on future clear cuts and a 3% increase in the use of renewableenergy recourses in heating plants.
