2. 1. Boreal Forest Wildfire in a Changing Climate

   Author : Johan Eckdahl; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forest wildfire; carbon emissions; nutrient cycling; nitrogen; microbial community; plant community; climate chnge; secondary succession; Sweden; Fennoscandia; biodiversity; boreal skogsbrand; koldioxiduttsläpp; näringscykling; kväve; mirkobiellt samhälle; växtsamhälle; klimatförändring; sekundär succession; sverige; Fennoskandien; biologisk mångfald;

   Abstract : The boreal region contains 40% of the earth’s carbon (C) that is stored in vegetation and soils with its forests accounting for almost 30% of the terrestrial C sink. Boreal forests are experiencing some of the most rapid rates of climatic warming and increases in fire activity, threatening to release large amounts of their dense C reserves to the atmosphere.

4. 2. Effective conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes

   Author : William Sidemo Holm; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem services; agri-environmental measures; cost-effectiveness; conservation;

   Abstract : Agricultural land use is a major driver of biodiversity losses and changes in ecosystem services. Thus, for the sake of both humans and wild organism per se, effective strategies that enable both agricultural production and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services are urgently needed.

5. 3. Reconnecting with nature through concepts : On the construction of values in the ecosystem services paradigm

   Author : Sanna Stålhammar; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ekosystemtjänster; hållbarhetsvetenskap; Vetenskapsteori; människa↔natur; värde; Ecosystem Services; Ecosystem services concept; ecosystem services value; Ecosystem service assessment; Cultural ecosystem services; socio-cultural valuation; connectedness; Relational value; experienced and context-based perspective.; Urban green infrastructures;

   Abstract : The alarming rates of extinction and degrading ecosystems call for new means of understanding and accounting for how people depend on nature. Ecosystem services (ES) is a contested but widely applied concept aiming to connect ecosystem functions to human wellbeing and to assess and account for how nature matters in decision-making.

6. 4. Carbon exchange in boreal ecosystems: upscaling and the impacts of natural disturbances

   Author : Julia Kelly; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon fluxes; CH4; Climate change; CO2; Drought; Ecosystem respiration; Forest; Peatland; Remote sensing; Temperature; Thermal camera; UAV; Wildfire;

   Abstract : Boreal forests and peatlands are globally significant carbon stores but they are threatened by rising air temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes and the frequency of natural disturbances. Predicting how the boreal biome will respond to climate change depends on being able to accurately model and upscale the greenhouse gas fluxes between these ecosystems and the atmosphere. READ MORE

7. 5. A window into forest landscapes : Studying the relationship between forests, ownership, ecosystem services, and biodiversity in landscapes

   Author : Tristan Bakx; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Forest; Landscape; Space; Spatial scale; Ownership; Sustainability; Trade-offs; Biodiversity; Conservation; Forestry;

   Abstract : Production forests are faced with the challenge of adapting to environmental change and simultaneously helping mitigate it and host rich biodiversity. This leads to new conflicts and trade-offs for forest management. Many management options have been proposed to achieve these goals while minimizing the loss of timber production. READ MORE
