Overview

Toini Holopainen is affiliated with the University of Eastern Finland in Finland. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with particular emphasis on atmospheric science, global and planetary change, and plant science.

The scientist's work encompasses several key topics, including atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, plant responses to elevated CO2, air quality and health impacts, vehicle emissions and performance, radioactive contamination and transfer, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, and radioactivity and radon measurements.

Toini Holopainen has contributed to multiple publications, with research often published in the venues Helda (University of Helsinki), Tree Physiology, and Boreal Environment Research Journal Archive. The distribution of their publications includes four articles in Helda (University of Helsinki), one in Tree Physiology, and one in Boreal Environment Research Journal Archive.

The scientist's recent papers include:

  • Soil drought increases atmospheric fine particle capture efficiency of Norway spruce, 2024, Helda (University of Helsinki)
  • Soil-to-plant transfer of uranium and its distribution between plant parts in four boreal forest species, 2024, Helda (University of Helsinki)
  • Effects of elevated ozone and warming on terpenoid emissions and concentrations of Norway spruce depend on needle phenology and age, 2022, Tree Physiology
  • Effects of elevated ozone on growth and foliar traits of European and hybrid aspen, 2024, Helda (University of Helsinki)
  • Radial ring width and wood structure in the ozone-exposed Norway spruce seedlings grown under different nitrogen regimes, 2024, Helda (University of Helsinki)

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Toini Holopainen include Minna Kivimäenpää, Sari Makkonen, Janne Räsänen, Pasi Yli-Pirilä, and Jorma Joutsensaari.
