A comparison of offsets policies and mitigation banking approaches in natural and cultural heritage management
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Conservation policies have evolved from wilderness preservation to include the protection of certain places 'in exchange for' destruction of other areas. So-called 'offsets', 'offsite mitigation' or 'mitigation banking' ... -
DNA metabarcoding of hidden biodiversity in the Mediterranean Basin
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)One of the most remarkable features of Mediterranean-type regions worldwide is their high levels of biodiversity. However, it is striking that we still know so little about many of its taxa, particularly regarding the ... -
Ecosystem based analysis of the condition of the German forest
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Germany ranks among the densely wooded countries in Europe. One third is forested and the timber stocks in Germany account for 336 m3 per hectare. Forestry claims to occupy a leading place compared with other European ... -
Pre-study regarding potential SOC stocks in central European old-growth beech forests: a comparative analysis
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Soils have long been identified as the most important terrestrial carbon sinks – and thus, as one of the preliminary sources of atmospheric CO2. About 80% of the terrestrial carbon actively involved in the global carbon ... -
Are stray Tibetan mastiffs a potential threat to snow leopards on the Tibetan Plateau?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Around 2012, due to the rise then collapse of the Tibetan mastiff (Canis lupus familiaris) market, many dog breeders around Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve abandoned their mastiffs. Since mastiffs have a range of biological ... -
Using genomic data to guide the conservation and management of migratory salmonids.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The development of new genomic tools for migratory salmonids is enabling us to explore in unprecedented detail the genetic basis of local adaptation in these species. This, in turn, will allow us to design more effective ... -
Movement and habitat use of the pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) in Sweden: gaining ecological insights to improve forest management practices
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) has a limited distribution in Scandinavia and is red-listed in Sweden. Most of the ~120 Swedish localities are concentrated along a limited coastline in south-central Sweden. The major ... -
How do rewilders define rewilding, and how do they think it should be done.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The emergence of rewilding as a concept and as a practical approach to conservation in recent years has been accompanied by some debate amongst self-identified rewilding advocates and practitioners. Firstly, there has been ... -
Effects of forestry treatments on forest site conditions and the biodiversity of different organism groups
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)There is a paradigm shift in Central Europe from the rotation forestry systems towards continuous cover forestry that provides a diversification of possible management practices. In a mature, temperate sessile oak-hornbeam ... -
Public awareness of extinction threats in European threatened species
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The level of societal awareness of and interest in major threats facing endangered species is a critical determining factor for public support for conservation initiatives and programs, which might in turn impact conservation ... -
New opportunities for biodiversity conservation in rural China?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Many conservationists associate China with substantial environmental problems linked to the country’s rapid economic development and the associated pollution and exploitation of its natural resources. Nonetheless, recent ... -
Cons and prons of metabarcode analysis of fungi for fungal conservation: implications from a large scale monitoring of soil fungi in Swedish forests 2014-16.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)A challenge for getting adequate information of the identity and composition of soil fungal diversity, hence for fungal conservation, is the largely cryptic life of fungi. Several years’ lack of sporocarps does not necessarily ... -
How the assessment of ecosystem services at sites can act at the science-policy-society interface: the example of the TESSA toolkit.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Management decisions and the development of appropriate conservation policy require scientifically rigorous and accessible information. Biodiversity conservation has been and continues to be a complex issue; more recently ... -
Vulnerability assessment of oligo-mesotrophic habitats of Lake Svityaz to recreational load using satellite imagery
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Lake Svityaz is the largest and deepest lake of natural origin in Ukraine. It forms a unique complex of aquatic habitats, considered of high value for conservation within the Shatsk National Nature Park as well as the ... -
