The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the underlying causes of the historical forest transition in Finland by applying our universal system causality model of forest transition. We have selected the relevant information on Finland from the masses of historical occasions and data by applying this model. Finland had the transition from preindustrial to sustainable industrial forestry during the first half of the twentieth century based firstly on the transitions to de jure and de facto sustained yield forestry, and secondly on the excess of the industrial use to the non-industrial use of roundwood. Unexpectedly, de facto transition to SYF took place a few decades prior to de jure transition. This finding indicates the important role of informal institutions, such as the markets and forest-based development. |
