Monitoring and assessment of carbon balance related phenomena in Finland and northern Eurasia (SNOWCARBO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Background
Current knowledge is limited about the size and scope of boreal forests as sources of carbon dioxide and as carbon sinks. Work has been done to understand single locations, but estimates for large regions are very imprecise. Regional and global level information is limited because the distributed ground-based point-wise observations do not cove ...

Climate Change Adaptation Tools for Environmental Risk Mitigation of Acid Sulphate Soils (CATERMASS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Background
From an environmental point of view, acid sulphate soils (AS-soils) are regarded as the most problematic soil types in the world. Finland has Europe's largest areas of AS-soils (c. 1 000-2 000 km2). Land uplift has caused these sulphide-bearing sediments to emerge above the current sea-level. Through reclamation, burning of the peat cover and h ...
