Overview

Tord Snäll is affiliated with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with significant contributions to subfields such as global and planetary change, insect science, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, and plant science.

The scientist has published extensively on topics related to forest management and policy, forest ecology and biodiversity studies, mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, conservation, biodiversity and resource management, land use and ecosystem services, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, and species distribution and climate change.

Among recent publications are the following:

  • Sectoral policies cause incoherence in forest management and ecosystem service provisioning, 2022, Forest Policy and Economics
  • Climate targets in European timber-producing countries conflict with goals on forest ecosystem services and biodiversity, 2023, Communications Earth & Environment
  • Stand age and climate influence forest ecosystem service delivery and multifunctionality, 2020, Environmental Research Letters
  • Assessing the usefulness of citizen science data for habitat suitability modelling: Opportunistic reporting versus sampling based on a systematic protocol, 2020, Diversity and Distributions
  • More future synergies and less trade-offs between forest ecosystem services with natural climate solutions instead of bioeconomy solutions, 2022, Global Change Biology

Frequent co-authors in their work include Astor Toraño Caicoya, Mikko Mönkkönen, Kyle Eyvindson, Daniel Burgas, and Clemens Blattert.

Tord Snäll's publications appear repeatedly in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), SSRN Electronic Journal, Forests, Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, and Forest Policy and Economics.
