    Wood construction uses forest biomass effectively and stores carbon. As a biophilic material, wood provides wellbeing benefits; however, its sensory properties, particularly those of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), one of the most commonly used wood species in construction, remain under-researched. A study involving 50 participants examined the effects of wood scent and visual stimuli on wellbeing. Participants visited a control room and rooms featuring scent, virtual walls, or both, completing tests and questionnaires. The results indicated that virtual walls combined with wood scent significantly reduced stress and enhanced restoration, with a mean Restoration Outcome Scale (ROS) score 0.47 points higher than the control and 0.30 points higher than with scent alone. There is a 96 % and 92 % confidence that ROS values are greater with both stimuli. While no significant difference was found between single stimuli, there is a 92 % certainty that ROS is higher with virtual walls compared to the control. These findings suggest that wooden virtual environments and wood scent could support cognitive training and emotional regulation. However, further research is needed to explore long-term effects and optimal stimulus levels.

    Decision support systems (DSS) in crop protection provide valuable support for pest risk prognosis and recommendations for pest control, enabling farmers to make better-informed decisions. As a part of the European Union’s strategy for the sustainable use of plant protection products, the “IPM Decisions” project developed an online platform that gives farmers and advisors access to a wide range of DSS for major pests, weeds, and diseases in a variety of crops across Europe. Multiple DSS models relevant for different crops and geographical regions of Europe were selected for integration in the platform. Information on the models is compiled into a model catalogue, which serves as a core component of the IPM Decisions platform. To facilitate the use of these models, two application programming interfaces (APIs) were developed. In line with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles, the DSS API provides access to models and their metadata, including descriptions of input and output parameters. The weather API enables access to European online weather data sources and adapts this data to meet the requirements of DSS models. While these APIs are integrated into the IPM decisions platform, they are also open source, allowing other crop protection and farm management software to inspect, download, modify, install, run, and use them. In this article, we describe the development of the DSS and weather APIs, outline their structure and definitions, and present the services that DSS API and weather API provide. Finally, we demonstrate their application through three practical use cases.

    Biological conservation (Elsevier, 2026)
    Remote tracking of animals complements traditional marking and recapture methods across ecological studies, improving estimates of demographic rates, migration connectivity, habitat selection, and social interactions. Its insights into how individual behaviour scales up to population dynamics are especially critical for effective transnational conservation, particularly for threatened migratory species. Here, we synthesise over two decades of GPS tracking data from 626 Eurasian curlews (Numenius arquata) to assess how movement ecology informs conservation and policy for this species of high conservation concern across Europe. We show how tracking has refined our understanding of migration connectivity, demography, and habitat selection, and how it can be translated into actionable insights for conservation. Tracking data provided unprecedented information confirming strong site fidelity among adult curlews and evidence of local recruitment. It highlights the importance of young birds' survival until they become reproductively mature and recruit for the population dynamics, and therefore the need for appropriate conservation measures. At the same time, this review shows how movement data contributes to or can contribute to characterize most of the threats to curlews, such as human disturbance or the development of human infrastructure. These findings translate into policy recommendations, including habitat protection, network-based conservation of migratory nodes, mitigation of anthropogenic threats, and the strategic use of population reinforcement. Overall, this synthesis highlights the critical role of individual-based tracking in bridging ecological knowledge and conservation action and provides guidance for the future use of tracking data to improve the conservation status of the Eurasian Curlew along its flyway.
  • Impacts of Atmospheric and Soil Droughts on Carbon and Water Fluxes in Northern European Coniferous Forests: Evidence From Eddy‐Covariance Data

    The recent decline in forest carbon (C) sink across the Nordic countries has been partly attributed to increased water limitations, that is, droughts, on forest productivity. However, empirical evidence for this remains limited. This study combines ERA5-Land reanalysis datasets with long-term C and water flux observations from Swedish and Finnish coniferous forest eddy covariance (EC) towers to assess the conditions under which atmospheric (high vapor pressure deficit, VPD) and soil droughts (low soil moisture) have affected forest carbon uptake. Using the reanalysis datasets, we then evaluate whether such conditions have become more common at the studied sites, and across northern Europe in general. EC data suggests that C and water exchange has responded only to extremely low soil moisture, whereas the response to atmospheric droughts has been more gradual and the strongest response occurred during compound droughts. At two sites, isolated drought years led to over 10% reduction in annual gross primary productivity and 20%–40% decline in annual net ecosystem productivity. However, frequent and widespread impacts on annual C fluxes were not observed. The occurrence of atmospheric droughts has increased across northern Europe during the last decade, while soil and compound droughts showed more localized changes. Beyond methodological advances in analyzing drought signals from EC data, our results shed light on how droughts may have influenced ecosystem–atmosphere carbon and water fluxes across northern European forests by integrating site-level flux responses with reanalysis datasets. The results suggest that increasing VPD may be one underlying factor for the observed decline in forest growth in the Nordic countries, while soil moisture limitations have been likely rarer and more local.
