Additional information
If ash recycling were considered on podzol areas, the suitability would be higher, especially in Finland and Sweden. The reduction in risk for compaction of soil when frozen during winter months has not been taken into account, which probably has resulted in underestimating the suitability in e.g. northern Finland.
