Implications of the European green deal for forest policy and management across the Baltic States: A nexus perspective
Three decades of forest policy studies in the former socialist countries of Europe: A review
Conflicts and policy priorities drive differences in the EU Forest strategy implementation: Insights from 15 European countries
Training forestry students for uncertainty and complexity: The development and assessment of a transformative roleplay
Climate change increases the uncertainties associated with the management of forests at the same time as societies seek to intensify the utilization of bio-based resources for climate mitigation. Participatory processes in decision-making are widely acknowledged to be suitable for finding effective and legitimate trade-offs in complex and uncertain situations. Inspired by transformative learning theory, we developed a roleplay within an internati…
Regional forest green infrastructure planning and collaborative governance: A case study from southern Sweden
Green Infrastructure (GI) is a strategically planned network delivering and enhancing diverse ecosystem services whilst preventing further biodiversity loss. Although not mandatory for EU members to implement GI, it is increasingly advocated as a tool for landscape planning. In 2016, the Swedish Government mandated the County Administrative Boards (CABs) to design regional GI plans using a collaborative process. This study explored the GI collabo…
Knowledge co-production in the Helge å catchment: A comparative analysis
Addressing sustainability challenges in landscape management requires processes for co-producing usable knowledge together with those who will use that knowledge. Participatory futures methods are powerful tools for attaining such knowledge. The applications of such methods are diverse and understanding the intricacies of the knowledge co-production process is important to further develop these research practices. To improve participatory futures…
Creating the landscape, one stand at a time: The dual roles of timber buyers in the nested domains of Swedish forestry
In Sweden forest owners have a high degree of freedom in management decisions, but that does not necessarily imply decisions in isolation. Landowners are often influenced by forestry advisors, shaping forest management practices and the resulting condition of forests. As the State is withdrawing resources from the Swedish Forest Agency, advisory services are widely provided by private actors, particularly timber buyers. This study applies Hägerst…
Development of forest discourses across Europe: A longitudinal perspective
Ideal vs real forest management: Challenges in promoting production-oriented silvicultural ideals among small-scale forest owners in southern Sweden
Integrating ecosystem services in power analysis in forest governance: A comparison across nine European countries
From command-and-control to good forest governance: A critical interpretive analysis of Lithuania and Slovakia
Assessment of timber supply under alternative contextual scenarios
Linking forest policy issues and decision support tools in Europe
Protecting or destructing? Local perceptions of environmental consideration in Lithuanian forestry
Trends in European forest policy research
Multiple-use forestry as a boundary object: From a shared ideal to multiple realities
Owner mapping for forest scenario modelling — A Lithuanian case study
Spruce or not? Contextual and attitudinal drivers behind the choice of tree species in southern Sweden
Social capital in small-scale forestry: A local case study in Southern Sweden
Forest management plan as a policy instrument: Carrot, stick or sermon
Forest management after the economic transition—at the crossroads between German and Scandinavian traditions
Discount rate and harvest policy: Implications for Baltic forestry
