THE APPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS OF THE NATIONAL FOREST INVENTORY
The Finnish National Forest Inventory has produced measurement based time series, statistics, maps and publications on forest resources, forest conditions and forest ecosystem on regional and national level over 70 years. The recent multi-source inventory produces, in addition, geo-referenced small area results.
The results have been applied in planning of forestry and forest industries. The results of multi-source inventory can be applied in small scale forest management planning and operative planning of forest industries.
The Inventory project has pruduced expertise in inventory planning and method development.
