Overview

Analysis classifies drained peatland forests' productivity in Finland, suggesting improved management practices.

Key Points

  • The aim is to classify drained peatland forests in Finland according to their productivity levels using advanced mapping techniques.
  • Utilized peatland mapping and spatial analysis of drainage intensity.
  • Applied automated segmentation of forest resource data.
  • Used Multi-Source National Forest Inventory (MSNFI) data from 2000 to 2021 for assessing productivity.
  • Classified forests into five productivity classes based on tree stand volume development.
  • Approximately 83% of forestry-drained peatlands were classified as productive or medium-productive.
  • Poorly productive areas covered 782,000 ha, representing 17% of all drained peatlands.
  • Higher drainage intensity and fertility explained productivity levels, influencing forest management decisions.
