Evaluating kNN and regression methods for predicting tree and stand variables from LiDAR data in plantation forests
LiDAR scanning offers the possibility of reducing fieldwork in forest inventories. Growing stock variables can be derived from LiDAR data using k-nearest neighbor (kNN) data imputation or regression modeling. The inventory data needed for forest planning consist of either tree- or stand-level variables, depending on the type of model used for growth prediction. This study compared LiDAR-based regressions with kNN data imputation to obtain forest …
Assessing the externalities of timber production
Responsible forest policy promotes management that does not impair the multiple uses of forests or decrease their regulative effects and biological diversity. The most important regulative effect of boreal forests is their ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. High biological diversity improves the resilience of forest ecosystems and forest-based economies, enhancing the long-term sustainability of forest production. This study de…
Impact of structural changes in wood‐using industries on net carbon emissions in Finland
Forests and forest industries can contribute to climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, by storing it in biomass, and by fabricating products that substitute more greenhouse gas emission intensive materials and energy. The objectives of the study are to specify alternative scenarios for the diversification of wood product markets and to determine how an increasingly diversified market structure could impact the net c…
Are forest disturbances amplifying or canceling out climate change-induced productivity changes in European forests
Recent studies projecting future climate change impacts on forests mainly consider either the effects of climate change on productivity or on disturbances. However, productivity and disturbances are intrinsically linked because 1) disturbances directly affect forest productivity (e.g. via a reduction in leaf area, growing stock or resource-use efficiency), and 2) disturbance susceptibility is often coupled to a certain development phase of the fo…
Scenario analyses for the effects of harvesting intensity on development of forest resources, timber supply, carbon balance and biodiversity of Finnish forestry
Effects of wood harvesting and utilisation policies on the carbon balance of forestry under changing climate: A Finnish case study

Land use evolution and management under recurrent conflict conditions: Umbundu agroforestry system in the Angolan Highlands
Optimisation of the traditional land-use system in the Angolan highlands using linear programming
This study used linear programming (LP) to analyse land-use alternatives in the traditional Umbundu farming system in the Angolan central highlands. Farmers of the region have traditionally produced maize and pulses for subsistence and vegetables and timber as cash crops. Different pasture and forest fallow rotations are used along catena production sites. The system is labour-intensive and uses animal traction. LP problems were formulated and so…
