World's largest database of individual trees launched in Finland

The database, called 'Suomen Metsä', will help researchers and foresters track the health and growth of Finland's forests.

The database, developed by the University of Helsinki, uses digital twin technology to create a virtual replica of each tree, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis.

The database will also enable researchers to simulate the effects of climate change and other environmental factors on the health and growth of individual trees.

The project aims to improve the management and conservation of Finland's forests, which cover over 70% of the country's land area.
