Monthly Publications, November 2024

“Monthly Publications” is a monthly summary by the School of Forest Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland, featuring scientific articles published during the month. The goal of this summary is to make the latest research in forest sciences more accessible to practitioners, such as companies, policymakers, and forest owners, to enable more effective practical application of research findings.Researchers from the School of Forest Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland are highlighted in bold.
