TLDR
In this paper, the authors evaluate the biodiversity implications of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies (CCAMS) being implemented in the production forests of Sweden and find that CCAMS will often come into direct or partial conflict with Swedish biodiversity goals in production forests.About:

Optimizing management to enhance multifunctionality in a boreal forest landscape
María Triviño,Tähti Pohjanmies,Adriano Mazziotta,Adriano Mazziotta,Artti Juutinen,Dmitry Podkopaev,Dmitry Podkopaev,Dmitry Podkopaev,Eric Le Tortorec,Mikko Mönkkönen +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of the boreal landscape to provide harvest revenues, store carbon and maintain biodiversity across a 50-year time period was estimated, and the authors applied multiobjective optimization to identify the trade-offs between these three objectives and identify the optimal combination of forest management regimes to achieve these objectives.

Continuous cover forestry is a cost-efficient tool to increase multifunctionality of boreal production forests in Fennoscandia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effects of continuous cover forestry and conventional rotation forestry on ecosystem services and biodiversity in boreal forests in Finland, and found that continuous cover forests may have a greater potential to produce simultaneously multiple benefits from forests.

Mixed-Species Forests
TL;DR: Pretzsch et al. as discussed by the authors show that most forests are naturally mixed and species diverse, but the degree of species richness varies considerably and declines from tropical to temperate and boreal regions, and the compositional and structural diversity of man-made or secondary forests is in most cases substantially lower than in the original, unmanaged native forest.

The effects of logging residue extraction for energy on ecosystem services and biodiversity : a synthesis
Thomas Ranius,Aino Hämäläinen,Gustaf Egnell,Bengt A. Olsson,Karin Eklöf,Johan Stendahl,Jörgen Rudolphi,Anna Sténs,Adam Felton +8 more
TL;DR: The weight of available evidence indicates that logging residue extraction can have significant negative effects on biodiversity, especially for species naturally adapted to sun-exposed conditions and the large amounts of dead wood that are created by large-scaled forest disturbances.

Potential of Birch ( Betula pendula Roth and B. pubescens Ehrh.) for Forestry and Forest-Based Industry Sector within the Changing Climatic and Socio-Economic Context of Western Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of birch (Betula pendula Roth and Betula pubescens Ehrh), a neglected indigenous species, for forestry and the forest-based industry sector is discussed.

Erasmus,Marinez Ferreira de Siqueira,Alan Grainger,Lee Hannah,Lesley Hughes,Brian Huntley,Albert S. van Jaarsveld,Guy F. Midgley,Lera Miles,Lera Miles,Miguel A. Ortega-Huerta,A. Townsend Peterson,Oliver L. Phillips,Stephen E. Williams +20 more
TL;DR: Estimates of extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface show the importance of rapid implementation of technologies to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and strategies for carbon sequestration.

A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests
Craig D. Allen,Alison K. Macalady,Haroun Chenchouni,Dominique Bachelet,Nate G. McDowell,Michel Vennetier,Thomas Kitzberger,Andreas Rigling,David D. Breshears,Edward H. Hogg,Patrick Gonzalez,Rod Fensham,Zhen Zhang,Jorge Castro,N.A. Demidova,Jong Hwan Lim,Gillian Allard,Steven W. Running,Akkin Semerci,Neil S. Cobb +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first global assessment of recent tree mortality attributed to drought and heat stress and identify key information gaps and scientific uncertainties that currently hinder our ability to predict tree mortality in response to climate change and emphasizes the need for a globally coordinated observation system.

Biodiversity loss and its impact on humanity
Bradley J. Cardinale,J. Emmett Duffy,Andrew Gonzalez,David U. Hooper,Charles Perrings,Patrick Venail,Anita Narwani,Georgina M. Mace,David Tilman,David A. Wardle,Ann P. Kinzig,Gretchen C. Daily,Michel Loreau,James B. Grace,Anne Larigauderie,Diane S. Srivastava,Shahid Naeem +16 more
TL;DR: It is argued that human actions are dismantling the Earth’s ecosystems, eliminating genes, species and biological traits at an alarming rate, and the question of how such loss of biological diversity will alter the functioning of ecosystems and their ability to provide society with the goods and services needed to prosper is asked.

Changes in the global value of ecosystem services
Robert Costanza,Rudolph de Groot,Paul C. Sutton,Paul C. Sutton,Sander van der Ploeg,Sharolyn Anderson,Ida Kubiszewski,Stephen Farber,R. Kerry Turner +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an updated estimate based on updated unit ecosystem service values and land use change estimates between 1997 and 2011, using the same methods as in the 1997 paper but with updated data, the estimate for the total global ecosystem services in 2011 is $125 trillion/yr (assuming updated unit values and changes to biome areas).
