oin our seminar “Novel remote sensing technologies, modeling and in situ assessment of forest disturbance ecology” on Wednesday 14th February and learn more on the bark beetle situation from Finnish and international viewpoints, and hear about recent advances in research!
The UNITE Geotrail Research Project utilises mobile technology and a location-based game to explore individuals’ connections with forests. People are invited to contribute to the research by searching for geocaches on designated trails in North Karelia and Pirkanmaa.
Continuous cover forestry and selection harvesting would provide significant climate benefits compared to clear-cutting, as it would avoid significant post-clearing emissions from the soil and the carbon sink of the stand would recover more quickly.

Forest soil is a larger carbon storage than trees, and forest management affects soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon sinks.
A clear decision framework, that can be adapted according to regional differences, is needed for forest owners and forest management.
