Enhanced understanding of forest ecological processes for the utilization of forests
The discipline of Forest ecology and management at the University of Helsinki aims at improving the understanding of forest ecological processes and the sustainable use of forests and peatlands through new information. The research focuses on for example the interactions between climate change and forest and peatland ecosystems and new methods of managing forest information.
