Freezing tolerance of seeds can explain differences in the distribution of two widespread mistletoe subspecies in Europe
(Elsevier BV, 2021)The ability of plants to tolerate freezing limits their geographical distribution. Therefore, winter warming may shift a species’ occurrence northwards and/or to higher altitudes. In Europe, the hemiparasitic vascular plant ...Tieteelliset aikakauslehtiartikkelit

Consumer housing values and prejudices against living in wooden homes in the Nordic region
(Finnish Society of Forest Science, 2021)So far, consumer housing values have not been addressed as factors affecting the market diffusion potential of multi-storey wood building (MSWB). To fill the void, this study addresses different types of consumer housing ...Tieteelliset aikakauslehtiartikkelit

Forest carbon stocks under three canopy densities in Sitapahar natural forest reserve in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Tropical forests play a significant role in sequestrating and storing atmospheric carbon di-oxide (CO2) emissions. However, estimation of forest carbon (C) stocks in relation to changes in forest structure and disturbances ...Tieteelliset aikakauslehtiartikkelit

Effects of errors in basal area and mean diameter on the optimality of forest management prescriptions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)• Key message Errors in forest stand attributes can lead to sub-optimal management prescriptions concerning the set management objectives. When the objective is net present value, errors in mean diameter result in greater ...Tieteelliset aikakauslehtiartikkelit
