Getting published in journals via Peerage of Science
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The median delay from your manuscript being ready, to being assigned a DOI at a journal, is about nine months. This would be understandable, if that time was spent on rigorous, thorough and careful peer review - but we all ... -
The Swedish Species Information Centre – biodiversity and species
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Species and habitats are important. In order to understand the world we live in, we need to recognise what species there are, how many they are, and how well they are doing. This is practically what the Swedish Species ... -
Gaia: Business solutions to sustainability - Combating biodiversity loss and climate change through collaboration between science, technology and business models

Finnish Association for Nature Conservation: The Carbon Stock Market
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Carbon Stock Market is an innovation of the Finnish Association for Nature Conversation. It is a marketplace where anyone can pay for restoring drained peatland/bog and at the same time compensate for his/her carbon ... -
Panel discussion on trade-offs between forest use, climate mitigation and society
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Time window for the success in the restricting global warming under 2°C is closing rapidly. The Paris Agreement calls for even more stringent measures. We need urgent and effective measures for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) ... -
Publishing in high-quality ecology journals
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Submitting to international journals is an important part of a scientist’s career. I will give an overview of how the British Ecological Society works to help the research community and will discuss the process of publishing ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
