Overview

Per Angelstam is affiliated with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a strong emphasis on global and planetary change, ecology, and nature and landscape conservation. Additional interests include information systems and management as well as education within these fields.

Angelstam's recent publications cover a range of topics related to ecology, vegetation dynamics, and sustainability. Key papers include:

  • "Globally consistent climate sensitivity of natural disturbances across boreal and temperate forest ecosystems," 2020, Ecography
  • "Macroecology of North European Wet Grassland Landscapes: Habitat Quality, Waders, Avian Predators and Nest Predation," 2021, Sustainability
  • "The Challenge of Transdisciplinary Research: A Case Study of Learning by Evaluation for Sustainable Transport Infrastructures," 2020, Sustainability
  • "Attitudinal drivers of home bias in public preferences for transboundary nature protected areas," 2023, Ecological Economics

The research topics tackled across these works range from disturbance ecology in forest ecosystems to landscape-scale habitat quality assessments and public attitudes towards conservation efforts. Among the topics regularly studied by Angelstam are:

  • Ecology and vegetation dynamics studies
  • Fire effects on ecosystems
  • Forest management and policy
  • Avian ecology and behavior
  • Wildlife ecology and conservation
  • Interdisciplinary research and collaboration
  • Sustainability in higher education

Collaborations are noted with several frequent coauthors, including Michael Manton, Rupert Seidl, Juha Honkaniemi, Tuomas Aakala, and Alexey Aleinikov.

Angelstam's publications often appear in journals related to sustainability and ecology, with recent frequent venues being:

  • Sustainability
  • Ecography
  • Ecological Economics

The breadth of Angelstam's work spans macroscale ecological studies, transdisciplinary research approaches for infrastructure sustainability, and avian and predator-prey interactions in wet grassland landscapes. This multidisciplinary approach aligns with their focus on combining ecological science with policy and societal aspects of conservation and management.
