| metsäkumppanuus | Collaborative Partnership on Forests | |
| metsäluhta | deciduous swamp wood | |
| metsämaa | wooded area | |
| metsämaan raivaaminen | woodland clearance (The permanent clear-felling of an area of forest or woodland. On steep slopes this can lead to severe soil erosion, especially where heavy seasonal rains or the melting of snow at higher levels cause sudden heavy flows of water. In the humid tropics it may also lead to a release of carbon dioxide from the soil) | |
| metsän ekosysteemi | forest ecosystem | |
| metsän ekosysteemi | forest ecosystem (Any forest environment, in which plants and animals interact with the chemical and physical features of the environment, in which they live) | |
| metsän hyväksikäyttö | forest exploitation | |
| metsän hyväksikäyttö | forest exploitation (Forests have been exploited over the centuries as a source of wood and for obtaining land for agricultural use. The mismanagement of forest lands and forest resources has led to a situation where the forest is now in rapid retreat. The main aspects of the situation are: serious shortages in the supply of industrial wood; the catastrophic erosion and floods accompanying the stripping of forests from mountainous land; the acute shortages of fuel wood in much of the developing world; the spread of desert conditions at an alarming rate in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world; and the many environmental effects of the destruction of tropical rainforests) | |
| metsän istuttaminen | afforestation (1. Establishment of a new forest by seeding or planting of nonforested land. 2. The planting of trees on land which was previously used for other uses than forestry. 3. The planting of trees in an area, or the management of an area to allow trees to regenerate or colonize naturally, in order to produce a forest) | |
| metsän istutus | reforestation (The planting of trees in forest areas which have been cleared. Reforestation has become increasingly important for preventing or reversing environmental degradation and for helping to maximize economic returns on commercially forested lands) | |
| metsän kaataminen | clearance of forests | |
| metsän kaataminen | deforestation (The removal of forest and undergrowth to increase the surface of arable land or to use the timber for construction or industrial purposes. Forest and its undergrowth possess a very high water-retaining capacity, inhibiting runoff of rainwater) | |
| metsän kaataminen | deforestation | |
| metsän kaataminen | forest cover destruction | |
| metsän kaataminen | forest destruction | |
| metsän kaataminen paikallistasolla | deforestation at local scale | |
| metsän pilaantuminen | forest deterioration | |
| metsän pilaantuminen | forest deterioration (Reduction of tree population in forests caused by acidic precipitation, forest fires, air pollution, deforestation, pests and diseases of trees, wildlife, etc.) | |
| metsän tuholainen | forest pest (Organisms that damage trees) | |
| metsän tuholainen | forest pest |
