Designing and Conducting a Forest Inventory - case: 9th National Forest Inventory of Finland
This book demonstrates in detail all phases of the 9th National Forest Inventory of Finland (1996–2003): the planning of the sampling design, measurements, estimation methods and results. The inventory knowledge accumulated during almost one hundred years is consolidated in the book. The purpose of the numerous examples of results is to demonstrate the diversity of the estimates and content of a national forest inventory. The most recent results include the assessment of the indicators describing the biodiversity of forests. The Finnish NFI has been and is a model for many countries worldwide. The methods and results of the book are set in the international context and are applicable globally. The book provides a valuable information source for countries, institutions and researchers planning own inventories as well as modifying the existing ones, or seeking the applicable definitions and estimation methods to use in their own inventories.

Olipa kerran Pohjola
Kertomus naalista, luontokadosta, ihmisen virheistä – ja toivosta. Yhtäkkiä sitä ei enää ole. Sitä, joka on aina ollut. Maisema on tyhjä. Naali, Suomen uhanalaisin nisäkäs, kantaa pienillä harteillaan painavan tarinan ihmisen muuttamasta luonnosta. Miksi naali katosi Suomesta, ja onnistuuko se palaamaan? Kuudes sukupuuttoaalto niittää satoa kaikkialla, ja pohjoisten lajien kohdalla ilmastonmuutos viimeistelee työn. Naalin tarina on monen lajin tarina. Tietokirja katsoo luontokatoa ja ilmastonmuutosta ruohonjuuritasolta. Sieltä, missä naalien, vesikkojen, riekkojen ja ihmisten polut kohtaavat. Selviytyvätkö lajit ihmisen muuttamassa maailmassa? Eläinten rinnalla kulkee ih...

Biology and Conservation of Musteloids
The musteloids are the most diverse super-family among carnivores, ranging from little known, exotic, and highly-endangered species to the popular and familiar, and include a large number of introduced invasives. They feature terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal, and aquatic members, ranging from tenacious predators to frugivorous omnivores, span weights from a 100g weasel to 30kg giant otters, and express a range of social behaviours from the highly gregarious to the fiercely solitary. Musteloids are the subjects of extensive cutting-edge research from phylogenetics to the evolution of sociality and through to the practical implications of disease epidemiology, introduced species management, an...
Wildlife in a Changing World
"Wildlife in a Changing World" presents an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the IUCN Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the world s species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world, highlighting the reasons behind their declining status. Areas of focus in the report include: freshwater biodiversity, the status of the world s marine species, species susceptibility to climate change impacts, the Mediterranean biodiversity hot spot, and broadening the coverage of biodiversity assessments."
Multi-Source National Forest Inventory
Building on more than a decade of innovative research into multi-source forest inventory (MS-NFI) this book presents full details of the development, outputs and applications of the improved k-NN method. The method, which was pioneered in Finland in 1990, is rapidly becoming a world standard in forest inventory, having been adopted as standard in Finland and Sweden, and recently introduced in Austria and across the US. The book describes in detail the full MS-NFI process, and the input data used – including field data, satellite images, and digital map data, as well as coarse-scale variation of forest variables. It also presents comprehensive information on the types of outputs which can b...
