Application of external prediction models in forest management inventories based on airborne laser scanning
(PhD Thesis;2022:28, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The use of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data in forest management inventories (FMI) has become operational during the last decades. Since it was introduced, ALS has improved FMI practices due to their capability to describe ... -
Assessing condition and changes in forest ecosystems using remotely sensed data
(PhD thesis;2023:63, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Forest ecosystems yield a range of ecosystem services that directly or indirectly contribute to human wellbeing. The potential of forest ecosystems to deliver services is, however, directly related to their condition, or ... -
Assessments of the future role of bioenergy in the Nordic energy and forest sectors
(PhD Thesis;2020:64, Doctoral thesis, 2020)This thesis presents studies that describe different consequences of increased use of forest resources for energy purposes. Forest biomass is widely used in many different applications; in recent years, biofuel has been ... -
Biochar for N2O mitigation and improved delivery and retention of mineral nitrogen in compost and soil
(PhD Thesis;2022:15, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Biochar is a promising technology for simultaneously storing carbon in soils, improving crop yields and reducing greenhouse gases. In the last 20 years, research efforts into biochar and its application to soils have been ... -
Biomass estimation models and methods for miombo woodlands of Malawi using field and remotely sensed data
(PhD Thesis;2016:92, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Dry tropical forests, such as the miombo woodlands, play an important role in the global carbon budget as well as in contributing towards the sustainable development of countries such as Malawi. To ensure sustainability ... -
Biomass stock and change estimation in boreal forests using remotely sensed data : results from empirical studies and simulations
(PhD Thesis;2017:69, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has become an important remote sensing tool for forest inventory. In the past two decades, this technology has seen a rapid status transition from experimental to operational, ... -
Brown trout anadromy in the Anthropocene
(PhD Thesis;2024:50, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Recent human-induced changes in both marine and freshwater environments are likely to alter adaptative landscapes in migratory species that utilise both habitats. Anadromous salmonids, like the brown trout (Salmo trutta), ... -
Characterization of radioactive particle exposure using micro and nano-focused X-ray techniques
(PhD Thesis;2021:95, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Radionuclides may be introduced into the environment from a variety of sources both naturally occurring, such as weathering from ore deposits, and anthropogenic, such as releases associated with the nuclear weapons and ... -
