Anna Gudrun Worm

Anna Gudrun Worm serves as an Assistant Lecturer within the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the Forest and Landscape College, University of Copenhagen. Her academic role focuses on integrating practical land management with ecological conservation principles in forest and landscape contexts.

Her research centers on nature conservation methodologies, particularly landscape-scale management using sustainable practices. A core theme involves ecological restoration through traditional techniques like horse grazing, which maintains biodiversity in open habitats. Her work bridges theoretical ecology with applied conservation, emphasizing how controlled grazing regimes enhance ecosystem resilience and habitat heterogeneity in Scandinavian landscapes.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent emphasis on practical conservation tools. Both 2015 and 2016 articles demonstrate how extensive horse grazing serves as a cost-effective nature management strategy, with case studies showing measurable biodiversity outcomes in Danish protected areas. This research contributes to sustainable land-use frameworks that balance ecological integrity with cultural landscape preservation.
