In collaboration with Annikki Mäkelä (UH) and Raisa Mäkipää (LUKE)

We aim to develop the economics of even-aged Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) management. In our research a detailed process-based forest growth model is connected to an economic description of stand management. We apply economic-ecological optimization, simultaneously taking into account the interaction between forests and climate.
