The effects of logging residue extraction for energy on ecosystem services and biodiversity: a synthesis
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)This presentation is based on a paper in press in Journal of Environmental Management. We review the consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services from the industrial-scale extraction of logging residues (tops, ... -
Recovering and restoring deleted salmonid populations
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Salmon and trout have been considered as an umbrella species indicating a good status of the ecosystem. They have a notable existence value producing variety of ecosystem services but moreover, indicating healthy rivers, ... -
Eliciting stakeholders’ preferences towards numerical control of invasive alien mammals: a factorial survey approach with the Eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) in Italy.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Management schemes for invasive mammals that may involve direct shooting of animals must possess two fundamental attributes for working: being attractive for voluntary hunters, who often replace professional gamekeepers, ... -
Perspectives on Piciformes: impacts on biodiversity from holes to whole landscapes
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The development of tools that accurately describe relationships between woodpeckers and their environment is important for natural resource management, since woodpecker cavities can be used by a diversity of animals. We ... -
Poverty-environmental relationships in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The interconnected relationships between the natural environment and human wellbeing and poverty have been a central theme in the environmental and development literatures. However, this has been less influential in ... -
Forest Fire Monitoring-An Integrated Approach to Sustain Forest Bio-diversity.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Lack of appropriate forest spatial information has been a major challenge in Nepal. In the hilly and mountain regions of Nepal, forest fire is very common. Once there is a forest fire, there is loss of biodiversity including ... -
Research of abandoned Tibetan mastiffs and interaction with local carnivores in Sanjiangyuan National Natural Reserve, Tibetan Plateau
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Between 2000-2012, a high market demand for Tibetan mastiffs stimulated dog raising in Tibetan Plateau but soon collapsed market led to abandonment of dogs. Due to high reproductive ability and adaptability, increased ... -
The role of snow leopard predation in determine prey recruitment: a synthetic study of abiotic, bottom-up and top-down influences on the Tibetan Plateau
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Ungulate populations could either be limited by resources (bottom-up control) or be regulated by predation (top-down control). Consequently, for ungulates and their predators, conservation strategies may need to differ ... -
Habitat overlaps between red panda (Ailurus fulgens) and Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in Himalaya
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Nepal is rich in biodiversity due to variability in elevation from 67m to Mount Everest. Out of 20 protected areas, government of Nepal has established 11 protected areas in Himalayan region of the country. Information ... -
Intraspecific diversity, a hidden decline: A focus on paedomorphic newts in the context of fish introductions
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Intraspecific variation such as polymorphisms, significant evolutionary units, and local adaptations are essential parts of biodiversity. However, conservation assessments and guidelines usually focus on the species level ... -
A context-specific boundary object to strengthen collaborations across science, policy and society
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Science-policy interfaces (SPIs) are social processes that are avenues for addressing sustainability challenges through strengthening collaborations between researchers, decision makers and social actors. These transdisciplinary ... -
Assessing the effects of information on the level of support toward charismatic and inconspicuous wildlife species in a highly threatened wetland by the urban population of Valdivia, Chile
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The inclusion of human communities into practical conservation of threatened species has received increasing recognition. One way to achieve this is to understand the current (actual) relation between people and wildlife ... -
Land system regime shifts and their impacts on human well-being in forest frontier landscapes of Madagascar and Myanmar
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Landscapes on forest frontiers in the humid tropics provide powerful examples of the challenge to reconcile human development with increasingly evident planetary boundaries. These social-ecological systems (SES) not only ... -
Species co-occurrence patterns among cavity nesting birds across seasons and in a landscapes with varying habitat complexity
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Species co-occurrence patterns inform the selection of surrogate species in conservation planning because co-occurrence is often a non-random process. Probabilistic models can determine whether a species co-occurrence is ... -
Scenario-based modelling of local land-use policy choices to achieve No Net Loss of wetland functions in the face of cumulative impacts
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Going beyond project by project approaches to biodiversity offsetting is challenging and local governments are struggling to find ways to achieve the no net loss (NNL) goal at the landscape level. In the Grenoble area ... -
Do Finns see forest from trees? An assessment of continuous-cover forestry from recreational and aesthetic perspectives
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)North European forests have, for most part, been subject to intensive forestry since the early 1950s, with clear-cut harvesting being the dominant regeneration method. Consequently, old-growth forests and their associated ... -
