Mats Jonsell

I am teaching on several different courses in entomology, conservation and forests.

My research is also on insects and mainly conservation aspects.  The most important projects are:

* Impact from bioenergy harvest in forests (slash and stumps). 

* The value of high stumps (which are retained on most clear cuts in Sweden) for the fauna.

* The production of food (saproxylic insects) for white backed woodpecker at restoration of forest stands.

* Insects in bracket fungi (polypores).

* The insect-fauna values of veteran trees.
