Forestry stakeholders' perspectives on the prospects for restoring European ash in Sweden
European ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) is a keystone broadleaved tree species in northern Europe, valued for its ecological functions, cultural heritage, timber and biodiversity support. Since the early 2000s, ash populations have declined dramatically due to ash dieback caused by the invasive fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus , raising questions about whether and how the species can be restored. While substantial research has focused on genetic resist…
Trust and the potential for bottom-up change in forest management in Sweden
To learn about the potential for bottom-up forest management change, this study examined how trust in the forest sector, i.e., internal trust, and trust in the news media, reflecting trust in an external source, are associated with private forest owners' acceptance of alternative management (i.e., practices used by a minority of owners). Measures of acceptance included beliefs reflecting the extent to which more and less production oriented alter…
A multidimensional place perspective on private forest owners' intention to plant non-native fast-growing broadleaves
Forests play a crucial role in climate mitigation through carbon storage and the substitution of fossil-based materials, which increases the demand for biomass. Fast-growing broadleaves can help meet this demand. This study draws on a progressive sense of place and utilizes a multidimensional framework of place to examine private forest owners' intentions to plant hybrid aspen and poplar, two non-native broadleaved species, across land types (agr…
Facilitating pro-environmental behavior through collective processes at events
Sport and culture events are important tourist attractions, but they may also be used to empower event participants to act pro-environmentally. Perceived capabilities to act pro-environmentally, so called self-efficacy beliefs, are a key aspect for pro-environmental behaviour. Therefore, this study examines the basis of self-efficacy for future events among participants at a major recurring orienteering event in Sweden (n = 296). A model with a p…
The Role of Civic Participation for Environmental Policy Support
Civil society is often depicted as playing a central role in the transition to a more environmentally sustainable society, for example by contributing to more fair and efficient environmental governance. Evidence for such claims is though limited and has not considered the full variety of motives in civic participation. In this paper, the often over optimistic assumptions about the possibility of civil society to generate environmental cooperatio…
Disseminating research of goose damage prevention – evaluating effects of message framing and farmer experience
Disseminating research in wildlife management is challenging. This study explores how framing four information texts influenced Swedish crop farmers’ (n = 1,182) perceived ability to cope with wild geese, and their behavioral intentions to implement goose damage prevention strategies. A digital survey, based on a before–after randomized controlled trial, evaluated the impact of message framing with content representing varying psychological dista…
Social Influence in Forest Management Transitions
A transition toward climate adapted forest management requires an understanding of change processes. To uncover social influence in forest owners’ networks, this study examined the acquisition of information about alternative management methods (e.g., no clear-cuts) alongside how social interactions and beliefs are associated with subjective knowledge, normative beliefs, and willingness to adopt these methods. A survey was conducted in a random s…
Adaptive capacity in the multi-level management system of migratory waterbirds
Adaptive management (AM) is one approach to manage migratory waterbirds, but obstacles to the implementation of AM require adaptive capacities in the management system (rules, institutions, action situations). This study aims to examine the adaptive capacity of participatory goose management in Sweden. Considering the biophysical and institutional context, we analyzed how tangible, individual, and governance assets were associated with technical …
Is voluntarism an effective and legitimate way of governing climate adaptation? A study of private forest owners in Sweden
Forest disturbances are expected to increase as a result of climate change. Thus, it is important to increase the resistance of forests by means of climate adaptation. To examine how effective a voluntary governance approach may be to encourage climate adaptation, this study investigates change in the level of adaptation among private forest owners in Sweden based on survey data from 2014 (n = 1482) and 2018 (n = 1251). In addition, the legitimac…
Individuals and Multilevel Management
Agricultural damage by geese is a growing problem in Europe and farmers play a key role in the emerging multilevel adaptive management system. This study explored how characteristics associated with the farmer and the farm, along with experience of damage, cognitive appraisals, emotions, and management beliefs were associated with the perceived adaptive capacity of the goose management system among farmers in the south of Sweden (n = 1,067). Surv…
The public and geese
Wild geese are increasing in agricultural and urban settings across Europe, leading to widespread human – geese interactions. This study examined how the public’s acceptance of geese (attitude and acceptance capacity) varied depending on place dimensions, interactions with geese in different settings (place-based experience), and psychological factors, including wildlife value orientations, beliefs about the ecosystem services and disservices gee…
Invasive forest pathogens in Europe
Political action can reduce introductions of diseases caused by invasive forest pathogens (IPs) and public support is important for effective prevention. The public's awareness of IP problems and the acceptability of policies aiming to combat these pathogens were surveyed in nine European countries (N = 3469). Although awareness of specific diseases (e.g., ash dieback) varied, problem awareness and policy acceptability were similar across countri…
Components and Drivers of Long-term Risk Communication
Risk communication is important for a sustainable management of natural resources. Even though risk management is ideally ongoing, studies of long-term risk communication from the perspective of the communicator are lacking. This case study examined the preparation and implementation of forest risk communication in Sweden. Interviews were conducted with advisors at the Swedish Forest Agency, responsible for providing information to forest owners …
Effects of Policy Measures and Moderating Factors on Climate Change Adaptation Among Private Forest Owners in Sweden
Threats associated with climate change may damage forests. To encourage adaptation in countries with a lot of privately owned forest, policy measures directed at private forest owners may be implemented. By means of policy scenarios, the present study examined the effects of two hypothetical policies: an advice and an economic incentive, on climate change adaptation among private forest owners in Sweden (n = 753 and n = 729). Both policies streng…
The importance of threat, strategy, and resource appraisals for long-term proactive risk management among forest owners in Sweden
In natural hazards management, it is important to understand what motivates people to act when they or their property are threatened by natural hazards. Despite the importance of both threat and coping appraisals for responses to threats, less is known about the relations between threat and coping appraisals when risk management is long term. The present study examined appraisals of threat (cognitive and emotional), personal resources (cost and s…
Reducing the risk of invasive forest pests and pathogens
Intensifying global trade will result in increased numbers of plant pest and pathogen species inadvertently being transported along with cargo. This paper examines current mechanisms for prevention and management of potential introductions of forest insect pests and pathogens in the European Union (EU). Current European legislation has not been found sufficient in preventing invasion, establishment and spread of pest and pathogen species within t…
Exploring Underpinnings of Forest Conflicts
Drawing on a hierarchical cognitive structure, the aim of this study was to compare forest values and beliefs in the general public and among forest owners in Sweden. Based on questionnaire data (n = 1,805), intergroup differences were identified on different cognitive levels. For example, while the forest owners emphasized production values more than the general public, the difference was smaller regarding more specific beliefs concerning profit…
