Objectives

The project developes methods, means and equipment used and needed in experimental field work at the Finnish Forest Research Institute. The project manages an administrative database of about 7000 permanent experiments established and supported by the institute and develops data managing such as data collection, data transfer, data checking, data storage and basic calculations.

An important target is to facilitate the multiple use of data by eliminating the unnecessary variation in work methods and data. The included experiments need to be useful in the long term or for more than one research project.

The project is divided into seven sub projects. It organises training courses and seminaries. The project takes care of the common instruments, forms and other materials needed in field work as well as of the software used in data checking and basic calculations.

Responsibilities:

Antti Isomäki, project leader, developing and supporting the field works Mikko Kukkola, data checking, data managing Erkki Pesonen, measuring equipments, data collection, data transfer Kari Lehto, the central register of permanent experiments, databases Jaakko Heinonen, computing stand and single tree characteristics Mauri Timonen, tree-ring analysis Riitta Heinonen, data managing
