Frescati (Stockholm)
Frescati is a park-like area on the northern outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden. It is situated in an area on Norra Djurgårdsstaden. Frescati is part of the Royal National City Park (''Kungliga nationalstadsparken''). History The name originated with Villa Frescati which was designed in 1791–1792 by the architect Louis Jean Desprez (ca 1743–1804) for courtier and diplomat Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt (1757–1814). The villa is named after the Italian city of Frascati, visited by King Gustavus III during his Italian journey. During the 19th century the name began to be used for a larger area in the vicinity of the house, and the Royal Swedish Academy for Agriculture established its Experimental Field there. It was followed by a number of other scientific and academic institutions, including the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Museum of Natural History, the Bergian Garden, a botanical garden, and eventually Stockholm University.

Agriculture In Sweden
Agriculture in Sweden differs by region. This is due to different soils and different climate zones, with many parts of the country being more suitable to forestry. It makes more economic sense to dedicate land to forestry than agriculture in the northern and mountainous parts of the country. The southern tip of Sweden is the most agriculturally productive. Sweden has quite short growing seasons in most parts of the country that limits the species and productivity of agriculture, but the south has the longest growing season, in some parts of the south in excess of 240 days. Wheat, rapeseed and other oil plants, and sugar beet are common in southern Sweden, while barley and oat are more important further north. Barley and oat are grown mostly for animal feed especially for pigs and poultry. The Central Swedish lowland is the traditional centre of agriculture in Sweden.

Forestry In Sweden
Sweden is covered by 69% forest. In southern Sweden, human interventions started to have a significant impact on broadleaved forests around 2000 years ago, where the first evidence of extensive agriculture has been found. Recent studies describe a long-term process of borealization in south-central Sweden starting at the beginning of the Holocene where oak (''Quercus'' spp.) and alder (''Alnus'' spp.) seemingly started to decline around 2000 years ago due to a decrease in temperature. At the same time the Norway spruce (''Picea abies'') started to emigrate from the north, and the European beech (''Fagus sylvatica'') emigrated from the south of Europe. Though, as a primary result of production forest management at the middle of the twentieth century, ''P. abies'' and Scots pine (''Pinus sylvestris'') covers together around 75% of southern Sweden actual standing tree volume. Economic use of forests Wood from the forest has long been used in the southern part of the country and in ear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
