Important Insights of the IPBES Regional Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for Europe and Central Asia
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Based on requests of IPBES member governments this assessment was elaborated by a team of more than 120 authors from 2015 to 2018. It shows, based on about 4000 sources, that nature provides broader contributions to people ... -
Ecosystem-based Adaptation: A review of the constraints
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is an approach that is now widely used in climate change adaptation and development interventions especially in the least developed and developing countries. It focuses on strengthening the ... -
High-resolution mapping of the trade in tropical commodities: a tool to estimate impacts of corporate zero deforestation commitments
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Conservation threats in tropical landscapes are increasingly related to telecouplings, i.e. linkages between distant places such as those embodied in trade flows. Developing solutions to address these threats require novel ... -
The effects of partial cutting in black spruce-feather moss bioclimatic domain on hydromorphic soils2
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The goal of this project was to study the hydrologic, ecological and dendrometric processes that occur after a partial cut on hydromorphic soils in north-western Québec. Partial cuts are good to mimic the natural disturbances ... -

UPM Raflatac: Labeling a smarter future with forest based products
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)With a continuous increase in the global demand for all kind of products environmental sustainability is more important than ever. To do good business we have to be environmentally responsible and optimize our use of natural ... -
Nature’s contributions to people and good quality of life in Europe and Central Asia
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has recently released its first set of regional assessments, including the Regional Assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services for Europe ... -
Making sense of the wild: Integrated participatory mapping for understanding community relationships to dynamic mountain landscapes
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Existing research has demonstrated that capturing stakeholder attitudes to landscape may be most accurately performed in the field, in spite of the challenges this brings (Evans and Jones 2011). The use of innovative walking ... -
Potential conflicts between microalgal biodiesel production and areas of high ecological importance at national scales
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Current bioenergy production systems—aimed at replacing fossil fuels in the transport sector—have been linked to a wide range of environmental impacts, including biodiversity losses. This is mainly because they derive from ... -
Synthesis of Environmental Impact Assessment to support planning of ecological compensation and decision-making: an introduction to research project
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Habitat changes are the key drivers of global biodiversity loss. However, land-use decisions that extensively affect the abundance and distribution of species are made at local scale. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) ... -
Myanmar’s semi-captive working elephant population is not sustainable without capture from the wild
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Wildlife populations in captivity are increasingly common, but captive populations often have a higher extinction risk and may require supplementation through wild-capture. Despite this, wild-capture may actually hinder ... -
Systemic change challenges traditional business models of forest-based bioeconomy
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Systemic change challenges traditional business models of forest-based bioeconomy In this paper, we introduce the ongoing systemic change among forest-based bioeconomy in Finland and discuss about the effects of this ... -
Impact of forest management on global vegetation biomass
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Carbon stocks in vegetation play a key role in the climate system. In a recent study, we showed the effect of land use on these carbon stocks. We found that vegetation currently stores around 450 petagrams of carbon, which ... -
Assessing the long-term effect of Natura 2000 network on common breeding bird communities
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Natura 2000 network (N2000) is currently the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world, and focuses on the conservation of most valuable and threatened species and habitats in Europe. Although there ... -
Dam removals in river restoration - bending the curve of weakened endangered status of migratory fish in Finland
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The endangered status of fishes in Finland has continuously weakened at each official assessment. WWF Finland (World Wide Fund for Nature) aims at bending this curve. Especially the migratory fish species bear high extinction ... -
SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING: THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL HABITAT PATCHES WHEN PLANNING THE CONSERVATION OF SPECIES IN FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPES
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Metapopulation theory and landscape ecology indicate that larger patches of habitat are more likely to support self-sustaining populations of more species. In spatial conservation planning, it makes sense that if all else ... -
Community-assessment on Participatory Conservation of Mount Cameroon National Park
