Popis: Kellomaki, S. and Savolainen, R., 1984. The scenic value of the forest landscape as assessed in the field and the laboratory. Landscape Plann. , 11: 97–107. The scenic value of selected forest stands was studied with the help of a questionnaire concerning the actual stands and photographs of the same stands studied in the laboratory. The field and laboratory measurements yielded similar results, suggesting that black-and-white photographs may represent a reliable tool for estimating the scenic value of forest landscapes. The results showed that mature stands of moderate density had the greatest scenic value. This was especially true of coniferous stands with intermixed birches.
