Ecosystem services research faces several challenges stemming from the plurality of interpretations classifications and terminologies. In this paper we identify two main with current ecosystem classification systems: i) inconsistency across concepts, terminology definitions, and; ii) mix up processes end-state benefits, or flows assets. Although different service definitions can be valuable for enriching landscape, it is necessary to address existing ambiguity improve comparability among...
Significance Food security under climate change depends on the yield performance of staple food crops. We found a decline in resilience European wheat most countries during last 5 to 15 y, depending country. The responses all cultivars different weather events were relatively similar within northern and central Europe, southern countries, specifically regarding durum wheat. also serious Europe-wide gaps resilience, especially abundant rain. Climate is currently not receiving attention it...
The frequency and intensity of extreme weather is increasing concomitant with changes in the global climate change. Although wheat most important food crop Europe, there currently no comprehensive empirical information available regarding sensitivity European to weather. In this study, we assessed yields related phenology (sowing, heading) cultivar trials across Europe (latitudes 37.21° 61.34° longitudes −6.02° 26.24°) during period 1991–2014. All observed agro-climatic extremes (≥31 °C, ≥35...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute the theory and practice supply chain management in terms how an organisation should structure its base be resilient uncertainties disruptions. An empirical assessment supplier response diversity demonstrated, following research question posed: Is suppliers positively associated with resilience, more than mere is? Design/Methodology/Approach Resilience operationalised as maintenance sales two food products 27 southern Finnish retail stores...
Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable and adaptation-prone sources livelihood facing climate change. Joint adaptation planning by farmers researchers can help develop practically feasible environmentally economically sound actions as well encourage proactive building farm adaptive capacity. Here, perceptions Finnish rural stakeholders regarding intercropping, cultivation two or more crop genotypes together in time space, a means to prepare for change, were collected an open workshop. Our...
This article examines the Finnish maritime cluster by identifying key challenges hindering its competitiveness. The main bottlenecks for future are concluded to comprise rising cost levels in relation customer demand, need human and capital resources, financial scientific support innovation activities, lack of contacts resources when competing large-scale international projects. These issues relevant also other clusters Baltic Sea Region. Thus, joint policies cooperation tackling these could...
The within-species diversity in response to weather and the gaps modern set of forage crop cultivars were determined using an approach that assessed adaptive capacity under global climate change. annual dry matter (DM) yields recorded multi-location MTT (Maa- ja elintarviketalouden tutkimuskeskus) Agrifood Research Official Variety Trials Finland for from 2000 2012, as a agroclimatic variables critical yield based on year-round data. effect interaction analysed mixed model. relatively low...
In addition to causing shifts in regional climate, climate change will also affect the combination of climatic conditions and dominant soil type. This may be reflected crop responses; however, currently, empirical knowledge this regard is limited. We hypothesised that 1) weather patterns most influencing forage yield variation vary among types 2) responses species cultivars agro-climatic variables depend on type, 3) response diversity factors depends To assess these assumptions, we utilized...
In order to maintain its global competitiveness in the future, Baltic Sea region (BSR) needs preserve and improve technological capability innovativeness.This article focuses on innovations region, particularly external innovation drivers environments BSR individual countries within region.Firstly, some definitions of innovations, drivers, characteristics a favourable environment are presented.Secondly, current condition is described performances compared.Finally, research aims conclude, as...

The shipbuilding industry clusters in the Eastern Baltic Sea region, i. e. Estonia, Finland and North-West Russia, may benefit significantly from increased mutual cooperation; however, international networks between are still poorly developed.The aim of this article is to analyse preconditions for cluster internationalization these clusters, which rather different but complementary terms skills.The research material desk study was collected various sources, including journal articles, media,...
