His primary areas of study are Scots pine, Picea abies, Ecology, Northern Hemisphere and Boreal. His study looks at the intersection of Scots pine and topics like Statistics with Variation and Crown. Harri Mäkinen interconnects Forestry, Climatic gradient, Growing season and Cutting in the investigation of issues within Picea abies.

Harri Mäkinen combines subjects such as Secondary growth and photoperiodism with his study of Ecology. His work is dedicated to discovering how Northern Hemisphere, Phenology are connected with Environmental factor, Temperate climate, Horticulture and Tree species and other disciplines. His studies in Boreal integrate themes in fields like Population density, Wood production, Forest inventory, Plant ecology and Taiga.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Harri Mäkinen focuses on Climate change, Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem model, Scots pine and Latitude. His Climate change research incorporates themes from Adaptation, Productivity, Vegetation and Resistance. His Atmospheric sciences research incorporates elements of Picea abies, Boreal, Phenology and Temperate climate.

His Ecosystem model research overlaps with other disciplines such as Representativeness heuristic, Empirical modelling, Calibration, Statistics and Range. His work deals with themes such as Forest dynamics and Bayesian probability, which intersect with Scots pine. His study of Latitude brings together topics like Arctic, Carbon cycle, Anomaly, Event and Solar particle event.
