Relationship between forest management planning units and spatial distribution of forest habitat components in Koli National Park.
This study examined the relationships between forest management planning units and patches formed by forest habitat components. The test area used was a part of Koli National Park in North Karelia, eastern Finland. Forest management planning units (i.e. forest compartments) were defined by using a t...
