Great meeting with young forest pathology researchers. Lots of new information about micro-organisms' interactions in spruces infected by Heterobasidion and attacked by bark beetles. Thanks to prof. Fred Asiegbu University of Helsinki #forestpathology #bioticdamagemappingconsortium



Once a forest pathologist, always a forest pathologist ❤️. It was a great pleasure to have Prof. Fred Asiegbu research and student group as guests. Scientific research produces solutions to enhance forest health and growth; the cornerstones of the forest industry's success.
