Data-set 13:Southern part of the Veps Forest Nature ParkSampling frame: 12 x 12 km study area in the southern part of the Veps Forest Nature Park. The center of the study area is located in the eastern end of the Lake Dolgozero. Field methods: 0.5 hectare study plots (transects). Selection of study plots: 30 random points called A, B, C, ...Y, Z, Å, Ä, Ö, Ö1 and Ö2 were placed inside the study area. Study plots (transects) were formed around these points so that half of them (A, C, etc.) were located at north-south direction and half of them at east-west direction. Field work was started at the middle of the study area. In 2000 all 10 sample plots situated in the central 6 x 6 km area of the study area were studied. In addition the study plot "A" was studied, because it was the closest plot on the way to the study area. Amount of data: 11 independent study plots, altogether 5,5 hectares. The sample plots included altogether 2843 dead trees, of which 2002 were more than 10 cm thick. Species included in the study: All wood inhabiting polypores and some other wood inhabiting fungi, see a list of target species. Field workers: Olli Manninen, Jenni Hottola, Eeva Putro and Otto Miettinen. Time and duration of field work: May 24. - June 4. 2000, altogether about 10 days. Including the travelling from Helsinki, the expedition took 19 days. Funding: Travel expences and were covered by a financing from the Finnish Ministry of Environment. Ministry also provided a stipend of 6000 FIM, which covered part of the specimen identification -work. Results and notes:
