The interdependence of the solutions is an essential factor in terms of understanding further perspectives of Nordic forest solutions in Russia. The centrepiece of the solutions is intensive forest management.

A new spatial modelling study across over 81,000 landscapes in Europe shows that large-scale deployment of perennial biomass plantations can effectively reduce nitrogen emissions to water and soil loss by wind erosion.

MSc Dongxia Wu’s dissertation designed and implemented experiments to provide solutions for the appropriate precondition of economically important species in forestry and horticulture.

In peatlands, the choice of the silvicultural system between rotation forestry and continuous cover forestry may have a decisive role for carbon dynamics since it directly interacts with the soil water table.

An international research team has now determined the annual contribution made by deadwood to the global carbon cycle and quantified the importance of insects in the decomposition of wood for the first time.

Self-driving forest measuring devices, robotic forest machines, citizen science in recreational forests - our UNITE competence centre aims to make breakthroughs in science, leading to revolutionary business. It combines intelligent sensor technology, multidimensional forest data modelling and inspiring gamification.

The doctoral dissertation of MSc Katalin Waga creates new methods for assessing unpaved forest road quality using airborne laser scanning data.

“Photonics is about light: we create, modify, observe and move light from one place to another,” Head of the Institute of Photonics, Professor Jyrki Saarinen says.

The findings of MSc Tuomas Yrttimaa's thesis improve the current knowledge of the feasibility of using point cloud-based methods in observing tree characteristics.
