Assessing acidity impacts in Nordic lakes and streams: Development of a macroinvertebrate-based multimetric index to quantify degradation and recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)1) Emissions of acidifying compounds have decreased over several decades, nevertheless acidification impacts on aquatic ecosystems remains as a regionally important environmental driver resulting in biodiversity loss and ... -
Introducing the index-based ecological condition assessment framework (IBECA)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Sustainable nature management and ecosystem conservation depends critically on scientifically sound and stakeholder-relevant analytical frameworks for monitoring and assessing ecological condition. Several general frameworks ... -
Mapping benthic ecological diversity and interactions with bottom-contact fishing on the Flemish Cap (northwest Atlantic)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The ecological diversity of benthic invertebrates from bottom trawl surveys was mapped for the Flemish Cap, a plateau of ~200 km radius in the northwest Atlantic. Species density (SpD), the exponential Shannon diversity ... -
Pelagic and demersal fish population rebuilding in response to fisheries-induced evolution in exploited China Seas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Marine ecosystems are undergoing life-history adaptations with impacts on productivity, resilience, and economic value due to Fisheries-Induced Evolution (FIE). Long-term and often intense selective commercial harvesting ... -
Setting reference levels and limits for good ecological condition in terrestrial ecosystems – Insights from a case study based on the IBECA approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09)Effective evidence-based nature conservation and habitat management relies on developing and refining our methodological toolbox for detecting critical ecological changes at an early stage. This requires not only optimizing ...
