Optimizing management to enhance multifunctionality in a boreal forest landscape
The boreal biome, representing approximately one-third of remaining global forests, provides a number of crucial ecosystem services. A particular challenge in forest ecosystems is to reconcile demand for an increased timber production with provisioning of other ecosystem services and biodiversity. H...

The boreal biome, representing approximately one-third of remaining global forests, provides a number of crucial ecosystem services.
