Abstract
Plant defence against environmental stressors often changes dramatically as plant develop. The composition of secondary compounds (PSM) in the vegetation of a landscape has extensive influence on ecosystem functioning. It is therefore crucial that we understand how various temporal factors affect plant content of PSMs, particularly those indirectly induced and controlled by human activity. One illustrative PSM group of major ecological interest is phenolics, which serve needs as diverse as herbivory defence, pathogen resistance, allelopathy or symbioses signalling, frost and drought hardiness, and photodamage protection. I will present results from our ongoing studies of defensive chemistry of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and birch (Betula spp) across seasons and ages, and discuss the results in relation to ecological theories and functionality of plant chemical defence.

Abstract
Natural and rural land provides resources for the majority of ecosystem services we need. Typical provisioning services from these resources are timber logging, collection of berries, mushrooms and hunting. Typical regulating services are carbon storage, regulation of flooding and temperature, and typical cultural services are education, science and nature based tourism. The use of one ecosystem service always affects the other services. How can we evaluate how the various use of services affect each other? In our research group, we work innovatively with multi-criteria analyses to find ways of trading-off contradicting interests in ecosystem services. The red tread is to consider «all» sides of multiuse and thereby reduce conflicts between stakeholders. To achieve this, it is necessary to combine conventional valuation methods (market-oriented recourse-economy) and new socioecological approaches.
