  Maintaining forest biodiversity and ecosystems is central for ensuring sustainable forest management. Boreal forest ecosystems have been greatly affected by human use throughout time, with the current intensive forest management paradigm proven to cause biodiversity declines. At the same time, forest industry is important for value creation and employment in rural areas, and wood products can substitute fossil-based materials. The shifts towards the bioeconomy may lead to increased demand for wood materials and energy which in turn may intensify forestry with its consequences on ecosystem services. Upon forest management, environmental measures to inter alia preserve biodiversity are undertaken based on law and/or certification requirements. Despite the rich literature, the discussion about effectiveness of the measures is ongoing. Also, there is limited knowledge about the measures’ cost-benefit which may hamper their effective implementation. We aim to fill part of these voids by reviewing the scientific literature of how boreal forestry’s environmental measures affect biodiversity. Recognized methods for searches in scientific databases in addition to grey literature in English and Scandinavian languages resulted in more than 3000 papers on field studies, reviews, simulations, and modeling of the forest ecosystem biodiversity in the boreal zone, which after sorting ends up in 200-300 original papers related to the major insitu measures like green tree and dead wood retention, buffer zones and key habitat preservation. Findings are categorized according to effects on species groups and threshold values are scrutinized. The analyses will give an updated overview of the practical biodiversity measures carried out by practitioners with associated costs and benefits. This is pivotal knowledge for operational forestry as well as for policymakers for preserving biodiversity and the ecosystems in the transition to the bioeconomy

  Forest ecosystems and their related services are spotted as key elements in sustainable development and the shift towards a circular economy. Though, the shift towards a bioeconomy with more forest-sourced materials cause challenges. The boreal ecosystem has been to a great extent affected by human use throughout time. The current intensive forest management paradigm is proven to cause decline in biodiversity. At the same time, forest industry is important for value creation and employment in rural areas. It is pivotal that we succeed to preserve biodiversity and the ecosystems in the transition to a greener economy. Forestry undertakes a set of environmental measures to preserve biodiversity, but there is an ongoing discussion about their effectiveness. The aim of this study is to review existing literature of how boreal forestry affect habitat quality in order to point to effects of the current management practices and how practices could be improved in order to improve habitats. Acknowledged methods for search in scientific databases in addition to grey literature in English and Scandinavian languages resulted in more than 3000 papers on field studies, reviews, simulations, and modeling of the forest ecosystem in the boreal zone, which after sorting will end up in 200-300 original papers. We attempt to also include studies that consider practical implementation and costs of measures. An important factor to be analyzed is the intensity of forestry, which varies widely with, among other things, political frameworks, and property structure between countries. One result of the article will be an updated overview of the measures that forestry can do to preserve different habitat for a rich biodiversity, and the costs and benefits of different management strategies. This is important knowledge for operational forestry as well as for policymakers in order to improve sustainable management.
