"kangas/kangasmaa" is defined by a Finnish-only dictionary as

"metsämaa jonka kivennäisaine on kangashumuksen peittämä"
or
"kuiva mäntymetsä"

I've seen "boreal forest" offered as an English translation of "kangas", but that seems too general: I'd think that there are plenty of boreal forests that don't fit the above Finnish descriptions.

Is there a good technical equivalent of "kangas" in English?

Or, is it too Finland-specific a term to have one?
