Doctoral dissertations

Most often the doctoral dissertations of GSForest junior stage researchers are published in Dissertationes Forestales, that is a joint publication of the Finnish Society of Forest Science, Finnish Forest Research Institute, University of Helsinki, and University of Eastern Finland. The aim of the series is to publish doctoral dissertations in forest sciences and related disciplines.
