The threats posed by air pollution and climate change have resulted
in considerable public debate about forest condition and growth
during the past two decades. Despite the massive input ofresearch
resources, no clear answers have been found to these global
questions. Although there have been substantial advances in our
knowledge of the effects of air pollutants on the forests, many of
the questions associated with forest condition are still open.
Monitoring of forest condition at the national level started in
Finland in 1985 in accordance with the methodology drawn up by the
International Co-operative Programme on Assessments and Monitoring
of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests, UN/ECE). Since
then, research into forest condition and vitality has been one of
the key areas in the research carried out by the Finnish Forest
Research Institute. Three basic questions formed the starting point
for the multidisciplinary, Forest Condition Research Programme:
What changes are taking place in our forests? Why does forest
condition vary, and why do trees appear to be suffering? How can
forest condition be maintained through appropriate forest
management? This report covers forest condition and changes in
environmental factors on the of the latest findings, publications
and expertise of researchers participated in basis the Forest
Condition Research Programme. In addition to researchers from the
Finnish Forest Research Institute, a large number of scientists
from domestic and foreign universities and research institutes also
made a considerable contribution to the research programme.
