Our latest research shows that harvesting in Finland also takes place in forests of high biodiversity value, which highlights the need to integrate biodiversity conservation more closely into forest management practices.

More details in English here:
➡️https://r.jyu.fi/Gql
🔎Tutkijamme selvittivät hakkuiden laajuutta biodiversiteetin kannalta eriarvoisissa metsissä Suomessa. Tulosten mukaan hakkuita on tehty myös biodiversiteetiltään erityisen arvokkaissa metsissä, joten luonnonsuojelu tulisi integroida tiiviimmin metsänhoitoon. ➡️ r.jyu.fi/Gqk @remiduflot.bsky.social
Monimuotoisuuden turvaaminen vaatii parempaa huomiointia metsänhoidossa
Suomea tapausesimerkkinä käyttäen Jyväskylän yliopiston tutkijat selvittivät, onko monimuotoisuudeltaan arvokkaimmat metsät edelleen hakkuiden kohteena vai ovatko ne tehokkaasti suojeltuja.

What makes German forests vulnerable to wind & bark beetles? 🌲💨🪳
👉 Elevation, Norway spruce %, precip. & slope.
Will it get worse?
👉 Models predict a slight decrease by 2070 (RCP4.5 & 8.5).

It was a pleasure to work with the Bottoms-up cost action consortium !

Thank you for having me and the great opportunity.

Joining forces and sharing biodiversity data is very important. It is the only way to make large powerful datasets allowing to test hypotheses at large scale. As we did here !
Just out in PNAS!

We used multi-taxon data to model virtual forest landscapes.

Forest withdrawn from timber harvesting are needed in a much higher share than they currently are in Europe, and extensive forests contribute less than expected to multi-taxon diversity.
