[HTML][HTML] What is the potential for replacing monocultures with mixed-species stands to enhance ecosystem services in boreal forests in Fennoscandia?
The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

More future synergies and less trade‐offs between forest ecosystem services with natural climate solutions instead of bioeconomy solutions
Abstract To reach the Paris Agreement, societies need to increase the global terrestrial
carbon sink. There are many climate change mitigation solutions (CCMS) for forests …

Forest multifunctionality is not resilient to intensive forestry
There is ample evidence that intensive management of ecosystems causes declines in
biodiversity as well as in multiple ecosystem services, ie, in multifunctionality. However, less …
