    The Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla) developed a method called multi-source national forest inventory (MS-NFI). The first operative results were calculated in 1990. Small area forest resource estimates, in here municipality level estimates, and estimates of variables in map form are calculated using field data from the Finnish national forest inventory, satellite images and other digital georeferenced data, such as topographic database of the National Land Survey of Finland. Seven sets of estimates have been produced for the most part of the country until now and six sets for Lapland. The number of the map form themes in the most recent version, from year 2015, is 45. In addition to the volumes by tree species and timber assortments, the biomass by tree species groups and tree compartments have been estimated. The first country level estimates correspond to years 1990-1994. The most recent versions are from years 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. The maps from 2015 is the fourth set of products freely available. It is also the second set produced by the Natural Resources Institute Finland. A new set of the products will be produced annually or biannually in the future. The maps are in a raster format with a pixel size of 16m x 16m (from 2013) and in the ETRS-TM35FIN coordinate system. The products cover the combined land categories forest land, poorly productive forest land and unproductive land. The other land categories as well as water bodies have been delineated out using the elements of the topographic database of the Land Survey of Finland.

Small area forest resource estimates, in here municipality level estimates, and estimates of variables in map form are calculated using field data from the Finnish national forest inventory, satellite images and other digital georeferenced data, such as topographic database of the National Land Survey of Finland. Nine sets of estimates have been produced for the most part of the country until now and eight sets for Lapland. These three themes have been produced for production of the CORINE2006. The products cover the combined land categories forest land, poorly productive forest land and unproductive land. The other land categories as well as water bodies have been delineated out using the elements of the topographic database of the Land Survey of Finland.

    Datapaketet Skogsområden med högt biodiversitetsvärde i Finland består av 12 landsomfattande rasterkartor. Dessa 12 kartor är olika versioner av biodiversitetsvärden i Finlands skogar. Rasterkartornas upplösning är 96 x 96 meter. Enkla anvisningar för att läsa rasterkartorna: Ju större numeriskt värde, desto högre biodiversitetsvärde. National = Nationella analyser över biodiversitetsvärden i finska skogar (sex analyser) Regional = Regionala analyser över biodiversitetsvärden i finska skogar (ser ut som en karta men är i själva verket en samling av 13 separata analyser, region = Närings-, trafik- och miljöcentralen i Finland) (sex analyser) Sex olika prioriteringar av naturskydd gjordes med Zonation-programvaran (a) så att varje ny version innefattade allt som fanns med i tidigare, enklare analysversioner. National / Regional 1 Potentiell mängd död ved: Version 1 (V1) innefattade potentiell mängd död ved* på lokal nivå. Områden med många stora träd, många trädslag och ovanliga skogsmiljöer får högt lokalt värde. National / Regional 2 Potentiell mängd död ved och straff: Version 2 = V1 + straff för åtgärder som har negativ inverkan på biodiversiteten. De lokala värdena stämde bättre överens med verkligheten när man tog hänsyn till verkliga förändringar i skogar. National / Regional 3 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet: Version 3 = V2 + konnektivitet utifrån ekologisk likhet, avstånd och kvalitet mellan skogsområden (genomsnittlig försvagning 400 m). Ofragmenterade skogsområden av hög kvalitet framkommer. National / Regional 4 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet + RL-arter: Version 4 = V3 + observationer av rödlistade skogsarter. Habitat med rödlistade skogsarter framkommer. National / Regional 5 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet + RL-arter + skogslagen 10 §: Version 5 = V4 + konnektivitet till särskilt viktiga livsmiljöer enligt skogslagens 10 § (genomsnittlig försvagning 200 m). Värdefulla skogsområden och landskap i närheten av skyddade skogsområden med högt biodiversitetvärde framkommer. National / Regional 6 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet + RL-arter + skogslagen 10 § + PN-konnektivitet: Version 6 = V5 + konnektivitet till permanenta naturskyddsområden (genomsnittlig försvagning 2 km). Värdefulla skogsområden och landskap i närheten av skyddade områden med högt biodiversitetvärde framkommer. *Uträkning av potentiell mängd död ved (PMDV) PMDV beräknades i två skeden för varje skikt träslag i varje trädskikt: 1) Index för potentiell mängd död ved (PMDVi) togs fram med MOTTI-programmet (b, c, d). • 168 trädslag, fertilitetsklass och latitudkombinationer 2) PMDVi användes för att omvandla diameter och volym till potentiell mängd död ved • Genererades för hela Finland enligt bestånd med en upplösning på 16 x 16 m • Kombinerades sedan i 20 trädslag och fertilitetsklasser och förenades till 96 x 96 m upplösning. Inmatade data Den potentiella mängden död ved beräknades från beståndsdata (trädslag, medeldiameter, volym, vegetationsklass) vilket omfattade hela landet. Bästa möjliga data användes för varje område. - 24 % av Finland täcks av statligt ägda skogs- och naturskyddsområden och privata naturskyddsområden. o Forststyrelsens Naturtjänster: data om fält- och bestånd (5/2015) o Forststyrelsens Skogsbruk: data om fält- och bestånd (5/2015) o Privatägda naturskyddsområden: data om fält- och bestånd (5/2015) - 37 % av Finland täcks av privatägd skog som inte är naturskyddsområden: Skogscentralen, skogsdata (6.5.2005–6.5.2015) - 39 % av Finland täcks av o Naturresursinstitutet: Nationella skogsinventariedata som är tillverkat med skogsinventeringsmetod som utnyttjar information om riksskogstaxeringens provytor och satellitbilder 2013 (volym, trädslag, vegetationsklass och medeldiameter) Spatiella data om skogsbruk med negativ effekt på biodiversitet (till exempel fällning, gallring och dikning) (uppdaterades 10/2017) - Lantmäterivärket och Finlands miljöcentral SYKE: dikning i finsk torvmark (SOJT_09b1) - Forststyrelsens Skogsbruk: utförda anmälningar om användning av skog och dikningsfigurer - Skogscentralen: anmälningar om användning av skog och dikningsfigurer - University of Maryland/Dept. of Geographica Sciences: Global Forest Change/Forest Cover Loss 2000-2014 Observationer av skogsarter som har rödlistats av IUCN (sedan 1990): Finländska miljödatabasen HERTTA Spatiella data om särskilt viktiga livsmiljöer enligt skogslagens 10 § (uppdaterades 10/2017) - Forststyrelsens Skogsbruk och Skogscentralen Spatiella data om permanenta naturskyddsområden (uppdaterades 2/2018) - Forststyrelsens Naturtjänster: databas över naturskyddsområden SATJ Bakgrund Områden som är viktiga för skogens biodiversitet identifierades runt om i Finland för att främja hållbar markanvändning genom planering och naturskydd på lokal, regional och nationell nivå genom att informera markägare, ministerier och skogtjästemän. Vikten av sådana analyser beror på ökad användning av naturresurser och skadliga effekter på biodiversiteten tillsammans med begränsade naturskyddsresurser. Dessa betonar vikten av att utveckla kostnadseffektiv, ekologiskt hållbar markanvändning som dessa spatiella prioriteringar av naturskydd för skogar som görs för första gången för hela Finland. Prioriteringsmetoden Zonation användes för att hitta nya skogsområden med potentiellt högt skyddsvärde. Det övergripande målet var att tillämpa rikstäckande prioriteringsanalyser utifrån skogsdata relaterade till biodiversitet och markanvändningsdata som hade samlats in på beståndsnivå. De data som primärt tillämpades på skogsstruktur och -kvalitet (vegetationsklass, trädslag, volym och diameter) gav ekologiskt användbara ersättningar för skyddsvärde i barrskog. Resultaten visar att en betydande andel skog med högt biodiversitetsvärde finns utanför det aktuella nätverket för finska naturskyddsområden. Eftersom största delen av det finska skogsområdet är kommersiellt kan nätverket för naturskyddsområden inte stoppa den pågående nedgången av biodiversitet i skogarna.

  • This dataset represents the Integrated biodiversity status assessment for pelagic habitats using the BEAT tool. Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological Quality Ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. Open sea areas were assessed based on the core indicators ‘Zooplankton mean size and total stock’ and ‘Chlorophyll-a’, as well as the pre-core indicator ‘Cyanobacterial bloom index’ . Coastal areas were assessed by national indicators. This dataset displays the result of the integrated biodiversity status in HELCOM Assessment unit Scale 4 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and off-shore areas and division of the coastal areas by WFD water types or water bodies). Attribute information: "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Confidence" = Confidence of the assessment "HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM assessment unit "Country" = Country of coastal assessment unit/ open sea "Level2" = HELCOM sub-basins (name of the scale 2 assessment unit) "Name" = Name of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit "Area_km2" = Area of assessment unit "AULEVEL" = scale of the assessment unit "HID" = assessment unit ID by country "SAUID" = ID number for the spatial assessment unit "EcosystemC" = Ecosystem component assessed "Confiden_1" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "Total_numb" = Number of indicators used in assessment "STATUS" = Integrated status category (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score, 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score))

  • The Baltic Sea Impact Index is an assessment component that describes the potential cumulative burden on the environment in different parts of the Baltic Sea. The BSII is based on georeferenced datasets of human activities (36 datasets), pressures (18 datasets) and ecosystem components (36 datasets), and on sensitivity estimates of ecosystem components (so-called sensitivity scores) that combine the pressure and ecosystem component layers, created in <a href="http://www.helcom.fi/helcom-at-work/projects/holas-ii" target="_blank">HOLAS II</a> project. Cumulative impacts are calculated for each assessment unit (1 km2 grid cells) by summing all pressures occurring in the unit for each ecosystem component. Highest impacts are found from the cells where both are abundant, but high impacts can be caused also by a single pressure if there are diverse and sensitive habitats in the grid cell. All data sets and methodologies used in the index calculations are approved by all HELCOM Contracting Parties in review and acceptance processes. This data set covers the time period 2011-2016.

  • This dataset represents the integrated assessment of hazardous substances in the Baltic Sea in 2011-2016, assessed using the CHASE tool (https://github.com/helcomsecretariat/CHASE-integration-tool). The integration is based on hazardous substances core indicators covering concentrations of hazardous substances. This dataset displays the result of the assessment in HELCOM Assessment unit Level 3 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and offshore areas). Attribute information: "HELCOM_ID" = ID of the HELCOM scale 3 assessment unit "country" = Country/ opensea "level_3" = Name of the HELCOM scale 3 assessment unit "area_km2 = Area of the HELCOM scale 3 assessment unit "AULEVEL" = Scale of the assessment units "coastal" = Code of scale 3 HELCOM assessment unit "Input" = Contamination ratio of the assessment unit (Higher score indicates higher contamination) "Confidence" = Confidence of the assessment (Low/ Moderate/ High/ Not assessed) "Status" = Status value for the assessment (= 1.0: Low contamination score, > 1.0: High contaminantion score)

  • Potential cumulative impacts on benthic habitats is based on the same method than http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/9477be37-94a9-4201-824a-f079bc27d097, but is focused on physical pressures and benthic habitats. The dataset was created based on separate analysis for potential cumulative impacts on only the benthic habitats, as these are particularly affected by physical pressures. In this case the evaluation was based on pressure layers representing http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/ea0ef0fa-0517-40a9-866a-ce22b8948c88 and http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/05e325f3-bc30-44a0-8f0b-995464011c82, combined with information on the distribution of eight broad benthic habitat types and five habitat-forming species (http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/363cb353-46da-43f4-9906-7324738fe2c3, http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/f9cc7b2c-4080-4b19-8c38-cac87955cb91, http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/264ed572-403c-43bd-9707-345de8b9503c, http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/822ddece-d96a-4036-9ad8-c4b599776eca and http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/ca327bb1-d3cb-46c2-8316-f5f62f889090). The potential cumulative impacts has been estimated based on currently best available data, but spatial and temporal gaps may occur in underlying datasets.

  • This dataset represents the Integrated biodiversity status assessment for benthic habitats using the BEAT tool. Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological Quality Ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The assessment in open sea areas was based on the core indicators ‘State of the soft-bottom macrofauna community’ and ‘Oxygen debt’. Coastal areas were assessed by national indicators, and may hence not be directly comparable with each other. This dataset displays the result of the integrated biodiverity status in HELCOM Assessment unit Scale 4 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and off-shore areas and division of the coastal areas by WFD water types or water bodies). Attribute information: "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Confidence" = Confidence of the assessment "HELCOM_ID" = id of the HELCOM assessment unit "country" = name of the country / opensea "level_2" = HELCOM sub-basins (name of the scale 2 assessment unit) "Name" = Name of the coastal assessment unit on scale 4 "AULEVEL" = scale of the assessment units "type_descr" = Name of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit "SAUID" = ID number for the spatial assessment unit "EcosystemC" = Ecosystem component assessed "Confiden_1" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "Total_numb" = Number of indicators used in assessment "Area_km2" = Area of assessment unit (km2) "Confiden_1" = Confidence level of the assessment (scores < 0.5 = low, 0.5 - 0.75 = intermediate, > 0.75 = high) "STATUS" = Integrated status category (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score), 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score))
