Overview

Mikko Mönkkönen is affiliated with the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a strong focus on Global and Planetary Change, Insect Science, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Their work covers several main topics, including Forest Management and Policy, Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Conservation, Biodiversity, and Resource Management, Forest ecology and management, Species Distribution and Climate Change, and Environmental Conservation and Management.

Among recent published papers, notable works include:

  • What are the effects of even-aged and uneven-aged forest management on boreal forest biodiversity in Fennoscandia and European Russia? A systematic review (2021, Environmental Evidence)
  • High boreal forest multifunctionality requires continuous cover forestry as a dominant management (2020, Land Use Policy)
  • Sectoral policies cause incoherence in forest management and ecosystem service provisioning (2022, Forest Policy and Economics)
  • Climate targets in European timber-producing countries conflict with goals on forest ecosystem services and biodiversity (2023, Communications Earth & Environment)
  • Forest multifunctionality is not resilient to intensive forestry (2021, European Journal of Forest Research)

Frequent co-authors in their research include Kyle Eyvindson, Clemens Blattert, Daniel Burgas, Tord Snäll, and Astor Toraño Caicoya.

Mönkkönen has regularly published in venues such as the European Journal of Forest Research, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Environmental Evidence, Land Use Policy, and Forest Policy and Economics.
