Björn Klatt

Björn Klatt is a Lecturer at the Academy of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Sustainability at Halmstad University. His research focuses on enhancing agricultural sustainability through pollination strategies, particularly leveraging bee biodiversity to improve crop resilience under climate change. Key interests include pesticide impacts, land-use effects on pollinators, and climate adaptation in agroecosystems.

Research projects include the ThinkBee initiative, exploring bee conservation in agricultural landscapes. His work emphasizes field-based methodologies, such as roadside vegetation surveys and wetland inventories using stand-up paddleboards (SUP). Over 30 publications since 2012 span topics like pollinator behavior, pesticide toxicity, and climate-driven crop stability.

Publications highlight trade-offs between insecticide use and pollinator health, with recent studies on flower-rich road verges boosting pollinator abundance. Klatt collaborates across disciplines to integrate ecological data into policy frameworks for sustainable farming practices. Current research explores multifunctional wetlands and trophic cascades under extreme weather events.
