    The EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology project (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/) collects and harmonizes marine geological data from the European sea areas to support decisionmaking and sustainable marine spatial planning. The partnership includes 39 marine organizations from 30 countries. The partners, mainly from the marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe (through the Association of European Geological Surveys- EuroGeoSurveys), have assembled marine geological information at a scale of 1:1 000 000 from all European sea areas (e.g. the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Barents Sea, the Iberian Coast, and the Mediterranean Sea within EU waters). This data includes the EMODnet seabed substrate map at a scale of 1:1 000 000 from the European marine areas. Traditionally, European countries have conducted their marine geological surveys according to their own national standards and classified substrates on the grounds of their national classification schemes. These national classifications are harmonized into a shared EMODnet schema using Folk's sediment triangle with a hierarchy of 16, 7 and 5 substrate classes. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. In cases, the data has been generalized into a target scale (1:1 000 000). The smallest cartographic unit within the data is 4 km2. Further information about the EMODnetGeology project is available on the portal (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/).

  • FIN Järvien vesikasvillisuusvyöhykettä kuvaava aineisto 1971 suomalaisesta järvivesimuodostumasta. Aineisto on polygonivektorimuodossa, jossa yksittäisen järven vesikasvivyöhyke esitetään moniosaisena polygonina. Vesikasvillisuusvyöhyke koostuu ilmakuvilta erottuvasta vedenpinnan yläpuolisesta (ilmaversoinen ja kelluslehtinen) ja aivan vedenpinnan tasolle yltävästä uposlehtisestä kasvillisuudesta. Vesikasvillisuusvyöhykkeen ja järven 0–3 metrin syvyysvyöhykkeen perusteella järville on laskettu kasvittumisaste-niminen tunnusluku, jota käytetään järvien ekologisen tilan arvioinnissa kuvaamaan rehevöitymisen aiheuttamaa kasvillisuuden runsastumista. Vesikasvillisuusvyöhyke on analysoitu Picterra-yrityksen koneoppimismalleilla Maanmittauslaitoksen hallinnoimista väri-infra- eli vääräväriortokuvista vuosilta 2012-2023. Vyöhykkeen analysointi on rajattu 1.7.–10.9. otettuihin ortokuviin. Lisäksi analysointi on rajattu seuraaviin vesienhoidon suunnittelun 3. suunnittelukaudella määritettyihin järvityyppeihin: • Pienet humusjärvet • Keskikokoiset humusjärvet • Runsashumuksiset järvet • Matalat humusjärvet • Matalat runsashumuksiset järvet Aineisto sisältää 698 järvivesimuodostumalta ilmakuvatulkinnan useammalta vuodelta. Havaittu kasvittumisaste on laskettu niille 977 järvivesimuodostumalle, joilta oli saatavissa tieto 0–3 metrin syvyysvyöhykkeestä. Aineistoon on jätetty järviä ilman syvyysaineistoa ja siten kasvittumisasteen laskentaa siinä tarkoituksessa, jotta aineistoa voidaan tarvittaessa hyödyntää muuhunkin kuin kasvittumisaste-muuttujaan perustuvaan tila-arviointiin. Aineistolle on tehty silmämääräinen tarkastus virheellisten havaintojen poistamiseksi. Aineisto voi silti sisältää väärintulkintoja. Kasvittumisasteen luontaisen vaihtelun mallintamisesta saadut tunnusluvut, kuten odotetut kasvittumisasteet ja kasvittumisasteeseen perustuva ekologinen tilaluokka, ovat ympäristöhallinnon asiantuntijoiden katseltavissa Pisara-järjestelmässä. Käyttötarkoitus: Ympäristöhallinnon tehtävien tueksi vesien tilan arviointiin. Järvien ekologisen tilan arviointia tekevät asiantuntijat käyttävät paikkatietoaineistoa ilmakuvatulkinnan laadun arvioimiseen yksittäisellä järvellä. Asiasanat: kaukokartoitus, ilmakuvat, vesikasvillisuus, seuranta, ekologinen tila Lisätietoja: https://geoportal.ymparisto.fi/meta/julkinen/dokumentit/Jarvien_vesikasvillisuusvyohykkeet.pdf https://vesi.fi/aineistopankki/koneoppimispohjaiseen-ilmakuvatulkintaan-perustuva-jarvien-vesikasvillisuuden-tilanarviointi/ ENG This data describes lake macrophyte zone on 1971 Finnish lake waterbodies. The spatial features are represented as multi-part polygons. The attributes are in Finnish. The zone represents emergent and floating-leaved vegetation plus submerged vegetation just above the surface of water. Together with lake bathymetric data, the percentage of vegetated littoral (PVL) was calculated. The PVL is applied in ecological status assessment. Lake macrophyte zone was detected from color-infrared aerial orthophotos administered by the National Land Survey of Finland. The detections were performed with the help of a custom machine learning model trained using Picterra. The detections were applied to orthophotos in 2012-2013 which were filmed between 1st of July and 10th of September. The detections were limited to humic and humic-rich lake waterbodies. There are detections from multiple years for 698 lake waterbodies. Observed PVL were calculated on 977 lake waterbodies which have bathymetric data to identify the 0 to 3 meters deep littoral zone. To potentially utilize the data for more than just the PVL-based approach, the data also have detections on waterbodies without bathymetric data and therefore observed PVL. A visual inspection of the data has been performed to remove erroneous detections. The data may still contain misinterpretations. Purpose of use: Support of environmental administration in ecological status assessment.

  • Seabed substrate 1:250 000 is one of the products produced in the EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology EU project. Project provided seabed geological material from the European maritime areas. The EMODnet Geology project (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/) collects and harmonizes geological data from the European sea areas to support decision-making and sustainable marine spatial planning. The EMODnet Geology partnership has included 36 marine organizations from 30 countries. This data includes the EMODnet seabed substrate map at a scale of 1:250 000 from the Finnish marine areas. It is based on the data produced on a scale of 1:20 000 by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), which does not cover the whole Finnish marine area yet. The seabed substrate data will be updated with a new interpreted data on a yearly basis.The data has been harmonized and reclassified into five Folk substrate classes (mud, sandy clays, clayey sands, coarse sediments, mixed sediments) and bedrock. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. The data have been generalized into a target scale (1:250 000). The smallest smallest cartographic unit within the data is 0.3 km2 (30 hectares). Further information about the EMODnet-Geology project is available on the portal (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/). Permission (AK15246) to publish the material was obtained from the Finnish Defence Office 28.07.2014

  • 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.

  • The raw materials of forest chips in Biomass Atlas are small-diameter trees from first thinning fellings and logging residues and stumps from final fellings. The harvesting potential consists of biomass that would be available after technical and economic constraints. Such constraints include, e.g., minimum removal of energywood per hectare, site fertility and recovery rate. Note that the techno-economic potential is usually higher than the actual availability, which depends on forest owners’ willingness to sell and competitive situation. The harvesting potentials were estimated using the sample plots of the 11th and 12th national forest inventory (NFI11 and NFI12) measured in the years 2013–2017. First, a large number of sound and sustainable management schedules for five consecutive ten-year periods were simulated for each sample plot using a large-scale Finnish forest planning system known as MELA (Siitonen et al. 1996; Hirvelä et al. 2017). MELA simulations consisted of natural processes and human actions. The ingrowth, growth, and mortality of trees were predicted based on a set of distance-independent tree-level statistical models (e.g. Hynynen et al. 2002) included in MELA and the simulation of the stand (sample plot)-level management actions was based on the current Finnish silvicultural guidelines (Äijälä et al. 2014) and the guidelines for harvesting of energy wood (Koistinen et al. 2016). Future potentials were assumed to materialize when the industrial roundwood fellings followed the level of maximum sustainable removals (80.7 mill. m3 in this calculation). The maximum sustainable removals were defined such that the net present value calculated with a 4% discount rate was maximized subject to non-declining periodic industrial roundwood and energy wood removals and net incomes, and subject to the saw log removal remaining at least at the level of the first period. There were no constraints concerning tree species selection, cutting methods, age classes, or the growth/drain ratio in order to efficiently utilize the dynamics of forest structure. The potential for energywood from first thinnings was calculated separately for all the wood from first thinnings (Small-diameter trees from first thinnings) and for material that does not fulfill the size-requirements for pulpwood (Small-diameter trees from first thinnings, smaller than pulpwood). The minimum top diameter of pulpwood in the calculation was 6.3 cm for pine (Pinus sylvestris) and 6.5 cm for spruce (Picea abies) and broadleaved species (mainly Betula pendula, B. pubescens, Populus tremula, Alnus incana, A. glutinosa and Salix spp.). The minimum length of a pulpwood log was assumed at 2.0 m. The potentials do not include branches. The potentials for logging residues and stumps were calculated as follows: The biomass removals of clear fellings were obtained from MELA. According to harvesting guidelines for energywood (Koistinen et al. 2016) mineral soils classified as sub-xeric (or weaker) and peatlands with corresponding low nutrient levels were left out from the potentials. Finally, technical recovery rates were applied (70% for logging residues and 82-84% for stumps) (Koistinen et al. 2016; Muinonen et al. 2013) The techno-economical harvesting potentials were first calculated for nineteen Finnish regions and then distributed on a raster grid at 1 km × 1 km resolution by weighting with Multi-Source NFI biomasses as described by Anttila et al. (2018). The potentials represent time period 2025-2034 and are presented as average annual potentials in solid cubic metres over bark.

    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. Five sets of estimates have been produced for the most part of the country until now and four sets for Lapland. The number of the map form themes in the most recent version, from year 2009, is 43. 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 and 2009. MS-NFI 2011 will be ready early 2013. The first set of the products freely available are from year 2009. The new set of the products will be produced annually or biannually in the future. The map from products are in a raster format with a pixel size of 20mx20m and in 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 topographic database of the Land Survey of Finland.
