Alternative assessment of Estonian forests
The project “Alternative Assessment of Estonian Forests” (MAH) initiated by Postimees Foundation was a statistical research to get an overview of the situation of Estonian forests. MAH was based on the data of the national forest resource accounting register (forest registry), which was updated and supplemented during the project with the help of remote sensing tools.
The alternative forest assessment was carried out by a team consisting of forest management practitioners and natural scientists from the University of Tartu, including members of the landscape geoinformatics working group.
The book “Alternative assessment of Estonian forests” was also published as a result of the project.
