Betestryck och biologisk mångfald – högre naturvärden genom anpassning och innovationer
Bete är en nyckelåtgärd för att bevara naturbetesmarker, några av Sveriges viktigaste livsmiljöer ur natur- och kulturvårdssynpunkt.

För att diskutera utmaningar med ett högt betestryck, och öppna dörren till möjliga lösningar, bjöd LU Land in till ett f

Strong engagement in RQ20
The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing.
