In 1998 EEA published Guidelines for the implementation of the EUROWATERNET monitoring network for inland waters. In every Member Country a monitoring network should be designed according to these Guidelines and put into operation. Together these national networks will form the EUROWATERNET monitoring network that will provide information on the quantity and quality of European inland waters. In the future they will be developed to meet the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. This publication presents the Finnish EUROWATERNET monitoring network put into operation from the first of January, 2000. It includes a total of 195 river sites, 253 lake sites and 74 hydrological baseline sites. Groundwater monitoring network will be developed later. In addition, information about Finnish water resources and current monitoring strategies is given.

    Petri Jauhiainen/Luke Arctic food from Finland You know what you´re eating when you choose Arctic food Arctic Food from Finland 1 Erkki Oksanen/Luke FINNISH FOOD PRODUCTION IS UNIQUE When Finnish food is exported or served and communicated to foreign guests, it is backed by a unified story that builds the image of Finland as a responsible producer of pure food, an interesting country for food. The story strengthens the messages of individual companies and supports them in their internationalization. The purpose of this brochure is to help you communicate the special features of Finnish, Arctic food. The Arctic food concept, the unique characteristics of Finnish food, provides a consistent way for ex- porters to share the specific quality of Finnish food. It supports Finnish food exporters and promoters in their marketing activities, especially in commu- nication and brand building. Its key elements are Finland’s Arctic, natural growing environment, and our expertise ensuring clean, high-quality and tasty food. Let us introduce the uniqueness of Finnish Arctic food. o 60 Arctic food production means Finland, 60 degrees north, the northern latitude region for food production. Finland is the northernmost place on earth where food is produced on this scale. 2 Arctic Food from Finland CC0/Arctic Food From Finland/Ruokatieto Rapeseed and field mustard, oil plants cultivated in Finland.

As hypoxia is essential for varve preservation, spatiotemporal changes in varve distribution were used as an indicator for hypolimnetic hypoxia oscillations. The hypoxic water volume was used as a variable reflecting hypolimnetic hypoxia and determined for each year by estimating the water volume beneath the water depth where shallowest varves were preserved. As a result, seven hypoxia periods, highlighting the variations in hypolimnetic hypoxia, are established. These periods may be influenced by bioturbation, lake infill, and lake level changes. Furthermore, we evaluated the relationship between hypolimnetic hypoxia oscillations and climatic factors. Diatom assemblage changes were also analyzed to estimate whether the hypoxia periods could be related to anthropogenic eutrophication. The diatom analyses suggest relatively stable nutrient conditions for the past 200 years in Lake Lehmilampi. Climate, on the other hand, seems to be an important driver of hypoxia oscillations based on correlation analysis.

  • Effects of Temporal Variation in the Risk of Predation by Least Weasel
    Evolutionary Ecology 17: 477–489, 2003. Ó 2003 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Research article Effects of temporal variation in the risk of predation by least weasel (Mustela nivalis) on feeding behavior of field vole (Microtus agrestis) ELINA KOIVISTO and JYRKI PUSENIUS* Department of Biology, Joensuu University, PO Box 111, FIN-80101 Joensuu, Finland (*author for correspondence, tel.: +358-13-2513582, e-mail: jyrki.pusenius@joensuu.fi) Received 8 November 2002; accepted 29 July 2003 Co-ordinating editor: V. Kaitala Abstract. Predation risk tends to vary in time. Thus prey animals face a problem of allocating feeding and antipredator effort across different risk situations. A recent model of Lima and Bed- nekoff (1999) predicts that a prey should allocate more feeding effort to low risk situations and more antipredator effort to high risk situations with increasing relative degree of risk in high risk situations (attack ratio). Furthermore when the proportion of time the prey spends in the high risk situation (p) increases, the prey have to eventually feed also in the high risk situations. However the increase in feeding effort in low risk situations should clearly exceed that in high risk situations as p increases. To test these predictions we measured feeding effort of field voles (Microtus agrestis) exposed to varying presence of least weasel (Mustela nivalis) and its feces in laboratory conditions. We generated quantitative predictions by estimating attack ratios from results of a pilot experi- ment. The model explained 15% of the observed variation in feeding effort of voles. Further analyses indicated that feeding effort was lower in high risk situations than in low risk situations at high attack ratio, but not at a lower one.

  • The Finnish Landscape and Its Meanings
    The Finnish landscape and its meanings PETRI J. RAIVO Petri J. Raivo (2002). The Finnish landscape and its meanings. Fennia 180: 1–2, pp. 89–98. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. The landscape has played – and continues to play – an important role in the process of constructing a national identity in Finland. In this process, certain areas and views, whether real or imaginary, are designated as vital symbols of the national culture. The landscape is not merely an image, a map or a view of the existing motherland, however. It is also a part of the nation’s history, which is marked in the landscape in the form of significant buildings and mon- uments to historical events, so that the past may be seen as forming an unbro- ken continuum with the present. Work is constantly going on to maintain and renew the national traditions of landscape description. This means that what- ever its age and nostalgic associations, the landscape is an integral part of our present-day lives. The images, maps, and discourses associated with the land- scape may have altered in the course of time, and even the physical areas or views may have been replaced with new ones, but the ideal of a Finnish land- scape has persisted. The signs and significations attached to it thus remain a powerful part of our national culture. Petri J.
