title = "Multi-source forest inventory data for biodiversity monitoring and planning at the forest landscape level",
abstract = "Finnish National Forest Inventory data and in particular multisource thematic maps were used as a mean to test different approaches to measure landscape characteristics and complexity as well as biodiversity indicators. We used wall-to-wall output thematic maps from the Finnish multisource National Forest Inventory (MS-NFI) to evaluate landscape level structure and composition of the Finnish forests. This work constitutes a first effort to estimate forest landscape structure, composition and habitat quality at a full national level. The use of MS-NFI maps with landscape metrics was proven as an efficient and novel method to monitor forest landscape structure and derive biodiversity indicators. In particular, the approach provides a useful tool for monitoring biodiversity when combined with georeferenced species information.",
