Estonia's forests or Estonian forests? [closed]

Which use is correct in sentences such as:

Estonia's state forests are managed....

The importance and role of Estonia's forests in cultural history.

Estonia's forest area increased significantly in the last decade.


Solution 1:

Personally, I'd prefer Estonia's. Estonia's forests = forests of Estonia. More examples like that:

Estonia’s government has collapsed... (from theguardian.com)

Estonia’s general election; Estonia’s capital, Tallinn (from washingtonpost.com)

Estonia's technology cluster (from economist.com)

Technically, "Estonian forests" is also correct because "Estonian" means "belonging to or relating to Estonia, its people, or its language" (Cambridge Dictionary), and there are numerous articles which use the phrase "Estonian forest/forests."

As long as Estonian is an adjective, we can use it to talk about the kind of forest. But practically speaking, both Estonian forest and Estonia's forest mean the same thing.
