Swedish Crop Wild Relatives: towards a national strategy for in situ conservation of CWR

In 2015, the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland) initiated a project to help strengthen the efforts of conservation and use of crop wild relatives (CWR) across the region. This studyexplores in greater detail the situation for Sweden. Taxa rich areas and areas where potential data bias may be prevalent are located.
