English title: Peatland drainage and wood production

Tiivistelmä

Current Finnish peatland classification serves as a normative guideline for directing drainage of peatlands capable of wood growth. Drainage operations have, however, been extended to all types of peatlands, irrespective of their wood growing potential. A new peatland classification is proposed, which — covers all types of drained peatlands, including the unsuccesful ones — emphasizes factors relevant for commercial wood production on drained peatlands This classification stresses the economic aspects of silvicultural and logging operations on drained peatlands.
