Changing Arctic snow cover: A review of recent developments and assessment of future needs for observations, modelling, and impacts
(Journal article, 2016)Snow is a critically important and rapidly changing feature of the Arctic. However, snow-cover and snowpack conditions change through time pose challenges for measuring and prediction of snow. Plausible scenarios of ... -
Drivers of treeline shift in different European mountains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A growing body of evidence suggests that processes of upward treeline expansion and shifts in vegetation zones may occur in response to climate change. However, such shifts can be limited by a variety of non-climatic ... -
Ecosystem services mapping for municipal policy: ESTIMAP and zoning for urban beekeeping
(Journal article, 2017)Pollinating insects are an integral part of cities’ natural capital and perform an important ecosystem function with a high degree of relevance to many cultural ecosystem services. Consequently, pollinators serve as a ... -
Governance of ecosystem services: A framework for empirical analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Biodiversity conservation policies justified with science and intrinsic value arguments have produced disappointing outcomes, and the need for conservation is now being additionally justified with the concept of ecosystem ... -
How much noise is too much? Methods for identifying thresholds for soundscape quality and ecosystem services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The United States National Park Service mandate is to conserve park resources and provide superlative visitor experience. In the context of acoustic resources, Denali National Park and Preserve provides an advantageous ... -
Insurance value of biodiversity in the Anthropocene is the full resilience value
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recently two distinctly different conceptualisations of insurance value of biodiversity/ ecosystems have been developed. The ecosystem framing addresses the full resilience value without singling out subjective risk ... -
Interactive spatial planning of urban green infrastructure – Retrofitting green roofs where ecosystem services are most needed in Oslo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Spatial multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is increasingly being used to inform urban green infrastructure planning. We explore the use of modern cloud computing technologies (Google Earth Engine) to facilitate public ... -
Local resources, linear elements and mass-flowering crops determine bumblebee occurrences in moderately intensified farmlands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)There is consensus that land-use change is a main driver behind the recent declines of many pollinator populations in Europe. However, it is still not adequately understood how the local resource quality and landscape ... -
Multi-criteria decision analysis and cost-benefit analysis: comparing alternative frameworks for integrated valuation of ecosystem services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods has been promoted as an alternative approach to monetary economic valuation of ecosystem services in Cost-Benefit Analysis framework (CBA). We discuss the potential of MCDA ... -
National mapping and assessment of ecosystem services projects in Europe – Participants’ experiences, state of the art and lessons learned
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Backed by the Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 and 2030, numerous ‘Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystem Services’ (MAES) projects have been completed in recent years in the member states of the European Union, with substantial ... -
Smartphone and tablet effects in contingent valuation web surveys – No reason to worry?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Stated preference (SP) web surveys are increasingly completed on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets instead of computers. Due to differences in technical attributes and response contexts of the devices, this ... -
Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in an alpine ecosystem grazed by sheep – An experimental approach
