Abstract: In the face of limited funding, knowledge, and time for action, conservation efforts often rely on shortcuts maintenance biodiversity. The umbrella species concept—proposed as a way to use requirements basis planning—has recently received growing attention. We reviewed literature evaluate concept's general usefulness. An is defined whose expected confer protection large number naturally co‐occurring species. This concept has been proposed tool determining minimum size areas,...
Abstract. A conceptual model is presented as a guide to the maintenance and restoration of ecologically sustainable boreal forest. The based on hypothesis that self‐sustained forest ecosystems can be (re‐)created, their biodiversity developed, if management simulate composition structure landscapes by introducing maintaining disturbances leading naturally dynamic spatial temporal patterns regeneration. major explanatory variable in effect wildfire sites with different fuel characteristics...
There are many ethnobotanical studies on the use of wild plants and mushrooms for food medicinal treatment in Europe. However, there is a lack comparative research role non-wood forest products (NWFPs) as medicine local livelihoods countries with different socio-economic conditions. The aim this study was to compare present three places representing stages development Specifically we explore which plant fungi species people selected rural regions Sweden, Ukraine Russian Federation. We...
Urban landscapes constitute the future environment for most of world's human population.An increased understanding urbanization process and effects at multiple scales is, therefore, key to ensuring well-being.In many conventional natural resource management regimes, incomplete knowledge ecosystem dynamics institutional constraints often leads frameworks that do not match scale ecological patterns processes.In this paper, we argue mismatches are particularly pronounced in urban...
Policies on economic use of natural resources require considerations to social and cultural values. In order make those concrete in a planning context, this paper aims interpret criteria, identify indicators, match these with verifier variables visualize them maps. Indicators were selected from review scholarly work resource policies, then matched available for Sweden's 290 municipalities. Maps the spatial distribution four produced. Consideration values studied sectors was limited. The...
Covering 32% of the planet, boreal forests are one last relatively intact terrestrial biomes, and a critical carbon sink in global climate dynamics. Mature old-growth provide large number products that culturally economically important, from wood-based lumber, pulp, fuel wood, to numerous nonwood products. Intensive wood harvest conservation naturally dynamic tend be mutually exclusive; where biodiversity is highly valued, harvests limited or banned outright. The authors this Policy Forum ...
Translating policies about sustainable development as a social process and sustainability outcomes into the real world of social–ecological systems involves several challenges. Hence, research advocate improved innovative problem-solving capacity. One approach is transdisciplinary that integrates disciplines, well researchers practitioners. Drawing upon 14 experiences problem-solving, we used group modeling to map perceived barriers bridges for researchers' practitioners' joint knowledge...

Sustainable Development and Sustainability: Landscape Approach as a Practical Interpretation of Principles Implementation Concepts The situation for governors managers natural resources has increased in complexity. Previously it was enough to sustain the yields wood, food energy. Today, maintenance ecosystem services, conservation biodiversity, rural development human wellbeing are new additional objectives. At same time there risks uncertainties linked climate change, economic...
Policies at multiple levels pronounce the need to encompass both social and ecological systems in governance management of natural capital terms resources ecosystems. One approach knowledge production learning about landscapes as social–ecological is compare case studies consisting large spaces places. We first review landscape concepts' biophysical, anthropogenic, intangible dimensions. Second, we exemplify how different concepts can be used derive measurable variables for sustainability...
Global forest area is declining rapidly, along with degradation of the ecological condition remaining forests. Hence it necessary to adopt management approaches that can achieve a balance between (1) human designs based on homogenization structure efficiently deliver economic values and (2) naturally emerging self-organized ecosystem dynamics foster heterogeneity, biodiversity, resilience adaptive capacity. Natural disturbance-based suggested provide such an approach. It grounded premise...
Achieving sustainable development as an inclusive societal process, and securing sustainability resilience of human societies well the natural environment are wicked problems. Realising forest management (SFM) policy in local landscapes is one example. Using European Union a case study for implementation SFM across multiple governance levels different contexts, we discuss benefits adopting integrated landscape approach with place space, partnership three pillars. We map institutional...
Loss of forest naturalness challenges the maintenance green infrastructure (GI) for biodiversity conservation and delivery diverse ecosystem services. Using Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi target #11 with its quantitative qualitative criteria as a normative model, we aim at supporting landscape planning through pioneering assessment extent to which existing amounts spatial distributions High Conservation Value Forests (HCVFs) meet these criteria. Highly forested committed both...
In Europe, forest management has controlled dynamics to sustain commodity production over multiple centuries. Yet over-regulation for growth and yield diminishes resilience environmental stress as well threatens biodiversity, leading increasing susceptibility an array of disturbances. These trends have stimulated interest in alternative systems, including natural silviculture (NDS). NDS aims emulate disturbance at stand landscape scales through silvicultural manipulations structure patterns....
