This paper asks, how research has produced prognostic narratives on sub-arctic forest ecosystem? Inari, located in the Sámi homeland, has been a site for recurring conflicts between reindeer herders and foresters over usage of the forests. Research has contributed to the dispute by producing prognoses of ecological trends in forests/ pastures. The need for solutions has become more compelling as changes induced by climate change have grown in number and severity. A siloed production of knowledge is evident, where each research cluster advances technical or traditionalist futureoriented practices as solutions to the accumulating problems.
