FOREST DTEP

Forest DTEP builds on strong background in forestry related research and development: Forest models developed at University of Helsinki, forest simulation software, Forest Thematic Exploitation Platform and extensive network of partners and end users (companies, governmental agencies, scientific and institutional users)... As a start, we have a large volume of open EO and forest data. In addition, we have precise measurements on the functioning of forests and climate system. Furthermore, we have the users for the data... In this Precursor, our consortium aims to prototype a digital twin of forests using the existing scientific knowledge and capabilities. Our project consortium will work with Earth observation data to determine the structural and biological properties of forests. The consortium will use this information to initialize a set of forest ecosystem models that include processes above and below the ground. Further, the consortium will develop new interfaces and visualization..
