Quantifying climate impacts and biodiversity effects of increased forest biomass harvests – an integrated assessment
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Increasing forest biomass harvests to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy may pose a trade-off with climate regulation services of forests and biodiversity conservation. Previous forest bioenergy ... -
Cleanliness, order and beauty are central values influencing the acceptance of biodiverse lawns across Europe - a cross-continental interview study
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Regularly managed lawns are emblematic features of urban green spaces. They provide utility and aesthetic values, but often exhibit low species-richness and high management costs. Management interventions that convert such ... -
Management of human-induced contemporary evolution to maintain and restore genetic diversity in brown trout
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Maintaining genetic diversity and integrity of animal populations is a key challenge in conservation. While ecological population declines can be reversed, loss of genetic diversity and original trait distribution is often ... -
Global and national biodiversity initiatives, socio-economic potential, and scalability of reintroduction of fungi into dead wood
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Data sharing, data archival and data citation are new, but increasingly important elements of the scholarly activities. Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) aggregates data, shared by a global network of publishing ... -
The three-toed woodpecker: an important biodiversity indicator and model species for the conservation of biodiversity in boreal forests.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The use of biodiversity indicators have been proposed as a comprehensive method for assessing conservation values at the stand scale. In the boreal biome, the three-toed woodpecker have been proposed as an indicator for ... -
Feeding Ecology of Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in Himalaya

Applying Systematic Reviews and Systematic Maps for devising management recommendations
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Systematic reviews and maps are becoming a golden standard for evidence synthesis in conservation and environmental management. Building upon previous studies, these research methods for collating research evidence are ... -
An Evaluation of the Impact of Payments for Ecosystem Services using a Randomized Control Trial
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) aim to incentivize land users to manage their land in ways which benefit society. However, as with many complex socio-ecological interventions, robust evaluation of PES is challenging ... -
Helping society to mitigate logging impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services of burned forests
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Over the last decades, an average of 213,000 ha of European forest has been affected by fire every year, with 90% of this area corresponding to Mediterranean countries. The timber of the burned forests is harvested by ... -
