We have studied the relationship between landscape structure and black grouse density in Russian Karelia and compared it with East Finland.

Correlations between forest structure and black grouse abundance were generally low. We found three significant correlations for Russian Karelia: positive for clear cuts and young forests and negative for the proportion of old forests.
