From individual wetlands to multifunctional wetland landscapes
We need to see wetlands as parts of a larger landscape system, not as isolated units, and continue to follow up on both benefits and side effects. Only then can we optimize their function and create sustainable solutions for the future.
Read more about our researchers linked to the Forum for Children and Landscape
At SLU, we work to strengthen research, education, and collaboration on outdoor environments for children and young people, brought together under the Forum for Children and Landscapes. Here you can read interviews with some of our teachers and researchers. Interviews in Swedish.
