Anita Atrena

Anita Atrena is a Researcher at the Department of Natural Science, Design and Sustainable Development (NDH) within Mid Sweden University, focusing on ecological research in boreal and temperate forest systems.

• Research Focus: Ecology, conservation biology, and sustainable forest management
• Key Themes: Wood-living fungi, lichen dynamics, habitat fragmentation, and landscape-scale biodiversity

Her recent publications investigate the interplay between forest management practices and species conservation, particularly in fragmented boreal ecosystems. These studies emphasize the critical role of landscape connectivity and microhabitat features in sustaining conservation-relevant species like Usnea longissima and wood-living fungi.

Anita's collaborative work spans systematic reviews and field studies, contributing to evidence-based conservation strategies. Her research aligns with global efforts to balance forestry with biodiversity preservation.
