This project investigates the latitudinal gradients of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Sweden’s protected and non-protected oak forest areas to inform climate-smart conservation strategies. By comparing plant and arthropod diversity and oak tree productivity across a range of latitudes, this study aims to understand how climate change and area protection interplay in influencing forest ecosystems.
