Located solely in the northern hemisphere, boreal forests contain an estimated one-third of Earth’s forested land. The purpose of this work aimed at reviewing the evolution of approaches in land planning and management of boreal forests in Finland and Northern Sweden, while comparing these to those developed in Minnesota. The nature of this work is historical research of forests use and management during the last 200 years. The knowledge from past histories is valuable to improve management approaches that aim at retaining the economic viability of logging, without jeopardizing the regenerative capabilities of forest ecosystems. Various methods and restoration efforts aimed at recovering from unsustainable biodiversity losses, created by past, uncontrolled tree harvesting, were assessed. Challenges and successes were presented in this work from both geographic regions, highlighting policy making and effective management approaches. Also, a new model framed within ecological memory to improve management practices toward sustainability of boreal forests was proposed.

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 ... -
Future supply of boreal forest ecosystem services is driven by management rather than by climate change
Triviño, María; Morán‐Ordoñez, Alejandra; Eyvindson, Kyle; Blattert, Clemens; Burgas, Daniel; Repo, Anna; Pohjanmies, Tähti; Brotons, Lluís; Snäll, Tord; Mönkkönen, Mikko (Wiley, 2023)Forests provide a wide variety of ecosystem services (ES) to society. The boreal biome is experiencing the highest rates of warming on the planet and increasing demand for forest products. To foresee how to maximize the ... -
Management diversification increases habitat availability for multiple biodiversity indicator species in production forests
Duflot, R.; Eyvindson, K.; Mönkkönen, M. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Context Forest biodiversity is closely linked to habitat heterogeneity, while forestry actions often cause habitat homogenization. Alternative approaches to even-aged management were developed to restore habitat heterogeneity ... -
Forest multifunctionality is not resilient to intensive forestry
Pohjanmies, Tähti; Eyvindson, Kyle; Triviño, María; Bengtsson, Jan; Mönkkönen, Mikko (Springer, 2021)There is ample evidence that intensive management of ecosystems causes declines in biodiversity as well as in multiple ecosystem services, i.e., in multifunctionality. However, less is known about the permanence and ... -
Interpreting wind damage risk : how multifunctional forest management impacts standing timber at risk of wind felling
Potterf, Mária; Eyvindson, Kyle; Blattert, Clemens; Burgas, Daniel; Burner, Ryan; Stephan, Jörg G.; Mönkkönen, Mikko (Springer, 2022)Landscape multifunctionality, a widely accepted challenge for boreal forests, aims to simultaneously provide timber, non-timber ecosystem services, and shelter for biodiversity. However, multifunctionality requires the use ...
