Overview

Seppo Kellomäki is affiliated with the University of Eastern Finland in Finland. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with significant contributions to earth and planetary sciences as well as agricultural and biological sciences. The subfields relevant to their work include global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, atmospheric science, ecology, and plant science.

The main themes addressed in their research span forest ecology and management, forest management and policy, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, tree-ring climate responses, fire effects on ecosystems, plant responses to elevated CO2, and soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics.

Seppo Kellomäki has authored several recent papers, including:

  • Effects of different management options of Norway spruce on radiative forcing through changes in carbon stocks and albedo (2021), published in Forestry An International Journal of Forest Research
  • The role of climatic variability in controlling carbon and water budgets in a boreal Scots pine forest during ten growing seasons (2024), published in Helda (University of Helsinki)
  • Effects of thinning intensity and rotation length on albedo- and carbon stock-based radiative forcing in boreal Norway spruce stands (2023), published in Forestry An International Journal of Forest Research

Kellomäki has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:

  • Heli Peltola
  • Miko U. F. Kirschbaum
  • Sara Kirsikka-Aho
  • Hannu Väisänen
  • Andreas Fischlin

Their work has been published mainly in venues such as Forestry An International Journal of Forest Research and Helda (University of Helsinki).

In addition to journal articles, Kellomäki has contributed to book publications. Notably, they authored a book titled Forest Management for Timber Production and Climate Change Mitigation, released in 2024 by Springer Nature (Netherlands).
