The aim of this work is (i) to review the recent studies on weather and climate change in
Finnish Sápmi and to present the literature review findings alongside our survey on the …

Snow is a major determinant of forage availability for reindeer and caribou (Rangifer
tarandus; hereafter Rangifer) in winter and is, consequently, a medium through which …

Snow cover plays a major role in the climate, hydrological and ecological systems of the
Arctic and other regions through its influence on the surface energy balance (eg reflectivity) …

Scientific studies of challenges of climate change could be improved by including other
sources of knowledge, such as traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), in this case relating …

Temperature is increasing in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions at a higher rate than anywhere
else in the world. The frequency and nature of precipitation events are also predicted to …

We studied interannual variability and changes over time in selected climate indices in the
reindeer management area (RMA) in northern Finland. We present together the knowledge …

We studied climate trends and the occurrence of rare and extreme temperature and
precipitation events in northern Fennoscandia in 1914–2013. Weather data were derived …

We examined how population density, winter weather, snow conditions, and 2 large‐scale
climatic indices (North Atlantic Oscillation, NAO, and Arctic Oscillation, AO) influenced …

The northward and upward movement of the tree line and gradual replacement of lichens
with vascular plants associated with increasing temperatures and nutrient availability may …

Despite the growth in knowledge about the effects of a warming Arctic on its cold-adapted
species, the mechanisms by which these changes affect animal populations remain poorly …
