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:

🔎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.

When someone mentioned Landscape Features in agricultural landscape, what image do you see in your mind?

If we say that Landscape Features can be part of viable rural areas, what would be your vision on this?

Join us on Tuesday, 14.10 at 10am to speak about it!

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

The press release of a recent study I led is now online. It explains in an accessible, non-academic way what we did and what we found !

🔔New paper out in PNAS !

We investigated how the Triad landscape zoning can support multi-taxonomic biodiversity in European beech forests.🌳🌳

🪵 We recommend increasing the area of unmanaged forests and improved extensive practices.

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Forest withdrawn from timber harvesting are needed in a much higher share than they currently are in Europe, and extensive forests contribute less than expected to multi-taxon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

Made it to Montpellier yesterday... What a trip !!🤘
March 24, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Early morning again for the third day of the trip, in the impressive train station of Hambourg. Only three more trains to go and a metro connection in Paris. Uff!
March 23, 2025 at 6:58 AM
Uptake!

After a (very) short night on the ferry, I am now in foggy Stockholm. Easy connection to train station (local bus + metro). Two long train trips for me today.

First step of my slow-travel trip from Jyväskylä (Central Finland) to Montpellier (Southern France): taking a local bus to the train station, heading to Turku.

The report assessed 16 leading forest industry companies. None of the companies were found to be largely or fully prepared to meet the EU's biodiversity targets. Certificates such as FSC and PEFC alone were found insufficient, as they shift responsibility to third parties.
