Guidance for sampling in forests, Forest seminar and Forest network under the project NKS-FOREST

The project FOREST under Nordic Nuclear Safety Research (NKS) was completed in 2008-2009. The Sampling guide for radioecological studies on forests and the proceedings of the FOREST seminar (2008) have been published:

The Nordic forest network was activated in 2008. The network is for exchange of information among the Nordic scientists involved in research of forests contaminated by radionuclides and for experts on forestry sharing interest in radioactive contamination of forests. Contact person is Mr. Jarkko Ylipieti, Scientist at STUK, Regional Laboratory in Northern Finland. The network is available to new members via E-mail: forestnetwork@stuk.fi.
