MULTI-SOURCE NATIONAL FOREST INVENTORY (MS-NFI) RESULTS BY MUNICIPALITIES MS-NFI8 - MS-NFI-2021
===============================================================================================

1. The Files
------------

The file package contains forest resource estimates by municipalities from
the following MS-NFIs: MS-NFI8, MS-NFI9, MS-NFI-2005, MS-NFI-2007,
MS-NFI-2009, MS-NFI-2011, MS-NFI-2013, MS-NFI-2015, MS-NFI-2017, MS-NFI-2019, MS-NFI-2021.
The excel-files contain in most cases a descriptive sheet and forest resource tables for
the municipalities. The results are grouped by the former Public Service units
of the Finnish Forest Centre (previously called Forest Centres). In some
tables the cell values (mean, percentage) have more
decimals than the formatted values appearing in the sheets.
