We propose how quantitative knowledge about specialised birds and spatially explicit land
cover data describing the terrestrial vegetation can be used to build Habitat Suitability Index …

Grazing and trampling by semi-domesticated reindeer are important factors controlling
vegetation in northern Fennoscandia. In this article we review Nordic studies on the effects …

We present an example of how systematic studies of habitat loss thresholds at multiple
scales can be used for assessing the functionality of habitat networks. The different steps …

Negative impacts of forestry on biodiversity have been addressed through environmental
considerations held within legislation and various forest certification protocols. We used …

Although abrupt changes (ie thresholds) have been precisely defined in simulated
landscapes, such changes in the structure of real landscapes are not well understood. We …

The maintenance of biodiversity is one of several internationally recognised objectives of
forest management. Empirical evidence from Europe suggests that forest management is …

Finland and Russian Karelia belong to the same biogeographical entity, lying on the same
