Vallsat: Satellite-based digital tools for ley management

In this project, we will update satellite data with simple dynamic models for leys, to improve the forecasts of harvest time and nutrient content and create a useful decision support system (DSS).

Exotic tree species in the forest mean loss of grazing land for reindeer

Semi-domesticated reindeer avoid winter habitats with exotic lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), introduced from Northern America. Reduced food supply and dense stands probably contribute to the
