People are willing to pay for climate- and biodiversity-friendly policies in Finland
Land-use practices play a crucial role in addressing the most pressing threats to the well-being of present and future generations, namely, climate change and biodiversity loss. Our study employed a choice experiment (CE) method to delve into the preferences of Finnish citizens concerning policy measures aimed at mitigating climate change, as well as their associated outcomes. The investigation yielded three key findings. First, on average, respo…
Nature-Based Interventions Promoting the Well-Being of Finnish Youth Outside Education or Employment
Nature-based interventions have a potential to activate and rehabilitate youth facing challenges with social, mental, or physical functioning. In Finland, nature-based interventions have been integrated into youth workshops to foster sustainable well-being. Using an exploratory mixed-methods design, this study explores the value of nature-based interventions for the well-being of Finnish youth outside education or employment. Participants (N = 18…
Associations Between Biodiversity, Forest Characteristics, Distance to Blue Space and Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity—Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study
We studied how the quantity and quality of residential green spaces and distance to different types of blue spaces are associated with the accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) among adults with different levels of total daily PA. The associations of the participants’ socio-demographic and personal characteristics and environmental features with light PA (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) were analyzed using linear mixed models (n =…
Promoting Sustainable Well-Being Through Nature-Based Interventions for Young People in Precarious Situations
Precarious situations disproportionately affect the well-being of young people. Social workers are concerned with sustainable ways to improve young people’s well-being, and nature-based interventions are proposed as sustainable solutions. We used a systematic review approach to identify how nature-based interventions can promote sustainable well-being. A literature search generated 1753 results, from which 49 peer-reviewed articles were selected …
Citizens' attitudes toward the protection of flying squirrels in urban areas
The Siberian flying squirrel ( Pteromys volans ) is included among the strictly protected species of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EC) of the European Union, which is one of the key instruments for biodiversity preservation in Europe. Strict protection of the species has a potential to cause conflicts in areas where forest management and urban development compete for the same space with the flying squirrel. This study examined attitudes of Finnis…
Common preferences of European small-scale forest owners towards contract-based management
The societal demands on forest management are becoming increasingly diverse, which will be reflected in decisions made by forest owners. We examined the willingness of private forest owners in Austria, Finland, Germany, Slovenia, and Sweden to participate in a contract-based payment scheme in which they were asked to apply a specific management strategy to promote either timber production or environmental goals. The preferences for the contract-b…
Forest owners' preferences for contract-based management to enhance environmental values versus timber production
Forests are sources of multiple ecosystem services (ESs) essential for human wellbeing. Forest owners are critical actors to decide which benefits they produce from their forests. To support the uptake of alternative forest management strategies in a way that is beneficial from the perspective of society as whole, new incentive schemes could be implemented in the future. We applied the choice experiment method to investigate Finnish forest owners…

The relationship between people's activities and values with the protection level and biodiversity
We investigated how people's recreational activities, values, and land use preferences are related to the protection level, biodiversity and cultural heritage values of nature-based tourism areas in northern Finland. We assessed peoples' opinions using a public participation geographic information system (PPGIS) and analyzed the data together with spatial biodiversity and cultural heritage data from the same area. Associations between the PPGIS p…
Potential impacts of a future Nordic bioeconomy on surface water quality
Nordic water bodies face multiple stressors due to human activities, generating diffuse loading and climate change. The ‘green shift’ towards a bio-based economy poses new demands and increased pressure on the environment. Bioeconomy-related pressures consist primarily of more intensive land management to maximise production of biomass. These activities can add considerable nutrient and sediment loads to receiving waters, posing a threat to ecosy…
Identifying Environmental and Natural Resource Management Conflict Potential Using Participatory Mapping
Methods have been proposed for identifying land use conflict potential using participatory mapping data and models. In a case study from Finland, we extend conflict mapping research by evaluating the capacity for participatory mapping to identify conflict for land uses that include mining, tourism development, commercial forestry, recreation, and nature protection. We evaluated two conflict models using reference sites where conflict was expected…
Ecological restoration, ecosystem services, and land use
This special feature provides an overview on how the ecosystem service concept has been and can be incorporated into the science, practice, and policies of ecological restoration (ER) and evidence-based land-use. It includes an edited selection of eleven invited and peer-reviewed papers based on presentations given during the 9th European Conference on Ecological Restoration in 2014. The focus is on Europe, but many contributors also make apprais…

Plant community responses to experimental warming across the tundra biome
Recent observations of changes in some tundra ecosystems appear to be responses to a warming climate. Several experimental studies have shown that tundra plants and ecosystems can respond strongly to environmental change, including warming; however, most studies were limited to a single location and were of short duration and based on a variety of experimental designs. In addition, comparisons among studies are difficult because a variety of tech…
