      In Oslo, as elsewhere, the COVID-19 outbreak and the following lockdown measures during spring 2020 led to increased use of urban green infrastructure. Whether this has led to more durable changes in recreation patterns ...

    • The contributions of flower strips to wild bee conservation in agricultural landscapes can be predicted using pollinator habitat suitability models 

      Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Venter, Zander; Eldegard, Katrine; Torvanger, Marianne Strand; Nowell, Megan Sara; Hansen, Silke; Øverland, John Ingar; Dupont, Yoko L.; Rasmussen, Claus; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Rusch, Graciela Monica (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. Sowing flower strips along field edges is a widely adopted method for conserving pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes. To maximize the effect of flower strips given limited resources, we need spatially explicit ...

    • Ecosystem services mapping for municipal policy: ESTIMAP and zoning for urban beekeeping 

      Stange, Erik; Zulian, Grazia; Rusch, Graciela; Barton, David Nicholas; Nowell, Megan Sara (Journal article, 2017)
      Pollinating insects are an integral part of cities’ natural capital and perform an important ecosystem function with a high degree of relevance to many cultural ecosystem services. Consequently, pollinators serve as a ...
