Not all Payment for Ecosystem Services schemes become sustainable simply because payments are introduced. Their long-term success depends on how well they are designed, how they respond to local conditions, and how effectively they connect environmental goals with social and economic realities. This is the central message of a new study published in Ecosystem Services, …
In a groundbreaking study recently published in Ecosystem Services, our Nobel partner has explored the potential of conservation auctions to improve landscape-scale environmental management. The Nobel-winning team continues to enthusiastically share their findings, offering new solutions for balancing economic and environmental outcomes through payment for ecosystem services (PES). Conservation auctions, or tenders, allow governments and …

Understanding the motivations and behaviors of private forest owners is paramount for crafting effective forest policies. Misguided policies can lead to inefficiencies, underscoring the need for precise targeting. The French NOBEL partner ‘INRAE‘, delves into this crucial realm in their recent publication titled “Probabilistic typology of private forest owners: A tool to target the development …

In order to propose and develop a system to support and improve co-planning between reindeer husbandry and forestry with a long time perspective at the landscape scale, the Swedish partners of NOBEL demonstrate a new and improved basis for planning and decision-making in the long term.The study area is located in the County of Västerbotten …
In order to provide a set of indicators supporting the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Service, the NOBEL partners have published a systematic review paper recently. In this study, they performed an extensive systematic literature review aimed to complete a list of indicators that could be used as proxies to evaluate each one of the …

As a part of WP3-task 5 of the NOBEL project, this review paper was set out to systematically map the “where, when, and how” of ES auction research. It is a dissemination work in this dynamic field and encourages continued interdisciplinary collaboration; Using an applied classification system based on criteria like target ecosystem, location, and …

The main drivers of change in the forest ecosystems in Europe are forest activities. Change detection using a long time series of optical satellite imagery with relatively high resolution enables annual detection of changes with high accuracy.Therefore, in order to provide fine spatial resolution information and support the calculation of statistically rigorous estimates about the …

In Europe, the change in forest cover caused by felling activities, especially clear-cutting, is the most significant driver of forest ecosystem change. Monitoring the magnitude of harvest activities and their spatial and temporal distribution can provide essential change indicators of the pressure on forest ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing offers the means to assess and map …
The European Commission’s open access publishing platform supports fast publication and open peer review for research stemming from Horizon 2020 funding across all subject areas. It enables researchers to publish any research they wish to share, supporting reproducibility, transparency and impact. An open research publishing model is used: publication within days of submission, followed by …
A review on forest attributes measurable by forest inventory that may support the integration of non-provisioning ecosystem services (ES) and biodiversity into forest planning was recently published by members of the NOBEL research group. The review identifies appropriate forest attributes to quantify the opportunity for recreation, biodiversity promotion and carbon storage, and describes new criteria …
