Climatic and Economic Factors Affecting the Annual Supply of Wild Edible Mushrooms and Berries in Finland
Finnish non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are valued on the national and international markets. Yet, the annual marketed quantities vary considerably, causing instability in supply chains. Thus, climatic and economic factors affecting the annually aggregated supply of top-marketed mushrooms (ceps,...
