Bestandsomvang is a term used in ecology and wildlife management to denote the size or extent of a population of a species within a defined area or time period. In translation, it corresponds to concepts such as population size or abundance, focusing on how many individuals comprise the population under study. The term is common in Norwegian, Danish, and related Nordic languages, and it is used to describe the overall number of individuals rather than the geographic range or genetic diversity alone.
Estimating bestandsomvang involves sampling approaches designed to infer total abundance from partial observations. Methods include direct
Applications of bestandsomvang include wildlife management, conservation planning, and population viability analyses. Accurate estimates support decisions
