The distributions and abundances of birds within oak woodland communities of California are the results of geologic events leading to the formation of the Mediterranean-type ecosystem, and of more recent anthropogenic impacts that have altered the landscape. These human-wrought disturbances to oak woodlands likely are affecting population parameters and distributions of birds throughout Califor...

Miombo and mopane woodlands are the dominant land cover in southern Africa. Ecosystem services from these woodlands support the livelihoods of 100 M rural people and 50 M urban dwellers, and others beyond the region. Provisioning services contribute $9 ± 2 billion yr(-1) to rural livelihoods; 76% of energy used in the region is derived from woodlands; and traded woodfuels have an annual value o...

This paper presents an approach to quantifying the biomass (crown and stem) and structure of mixed species woodlands in Australia that is based on an inversion algorithm for S A R data. When applied to AIRSAR data acquired in 2000 over selected woodlands in Queensland, a close correspondence with ground-based estimates of biomass was observed.

Hedblom, M. 2007. Birds and butterflies in Swedish urban and peri-urban habitats: a landscape perspective. Doctor's dissertation. Urbanisation is considered to be one of the largest threats to biodiversity although little is known about the effect of habitat fragmentation on native flora and fauna in urban areas in general, and in Sweden specifically. In this thesis, data have been collected us...
