Human actions impact biodiversity worldwide. Specialist species are particularly sensitive to environmental degradation whereas generalists may even benefit from habitat changes. As a consequence, specialists are declining while generalists are increasing and, therefore, communities become more similar. This phenomenon is known as biotic homogenization. In boreal forests logging and forest management is the most important factor changing the native habitat. In this thesis I studied if human actions are homogenizing boreal forest bird communities. I further studied if protected areas can maintain their diversity and, thus, prevent homogenization. Through the individual studies, biodiversity was measured using various metrics such as species richness, taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversities and Species Specialization Index. My results showed that human actions have diverse impacts on diversity in boreal forests. Intensive forest management has negative impacts on forest bird assemblages, and communities in protected areas are not sheltered from habitat changes in the surrounding areas. These negative impacts are particularly strong on forest specialists. The most important message of this thesis was that to really understand biodiversity, various diversity measures in all spatial scales should be considered. It is worth remembering that in biodiversity more is not necessarily better, but each area and patch has its own natural state of biodiversity. Human-induced changes to this baseline denote unwanted impacts on the communities and the whole ecosystems. With the growing demand and exploitation of natural resources, these complex relations in various scales and especially acknowledging them in conservation set growing demand of co-operation with scientists and conservation planners. ...

  • Global warming, forest biodiversity and conservation strategies in boreal landscapes 

    Mazziotta, Adriano (University of Jyväskylä, 2014)
  • Are small protected habitat patches within boreal production forests effective in conserving species richness, abundance and community composition? : a systematic review 

    Häkkilä, Matti; Johansson, Anna; Sandgren, Terhi; Uusitalo, Anne; Mönkkönen, Mikko; Puttonen, Pasi; Savilaakso, Sini (BioMed Central, 2021)
    Background: In boreal zone forest management is changing and degrading forest habitats, which has caused declines in biodiversity. To mitigate these harmful effects in production forests, small-scale habitats with high ...
  • National high-resolution conservation prioritisation of boreal forests 

    Mikkonen, Ninni; Leikola, Niko; Lehtomäki, Joona; Halme, Panu; Moilanen, Atte (Elsevier BV, 2023)
    The continuous decline of forest biodiversity highlights the importance of the development of cost-effective and ecologically sustainable land-use planning approaches. Spatial conservation prioritisation (SCP) can be ...
  • Trade-offs among intensive forestry, ecosystem services and biodiversity in boreal forests 

    Pohjanmies, Tähti (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
    Finnish forests are used extensively for timber production but are also providers of other ecosystem services and harbor unique biodiversity. The ecosystem services approach has so far been used marginally in the context ...
  • Landscape structure influences browsing on a keystone tree species in conservation areas 

    Komonen, Atte; Tuominen, Laura; Purhonen, Jenna; Halme, Panu (Elsevier, 2020)
    Aspen is a keystone species in boreal forests. The future of aspen in many conservation areas is threatened by ungulate browsing. Our aim was to study the effect of browsing on aspen regeneration and population structure ...
