This is a basic research. The examination proceeds from the founding of the first educational institution of each school type. The first itinerant catechists of Finland began teaching in Utsjoki in 1751. The first primary school was founded in Rovaniemi in 1870. Lapland changed over to comprehensive school system in 1972. The Tornio Pedagogium was granted founding permit in 1630. The schools held by the Church were either permanent or itinerant. The importance of permanent schools was insignificant in Lapland. Itinerant school system consisted of two categories; catechist schools and itinerant schools. Their educational aims were uniform. Catechists received their salary from the state whereas itinerant schools were maintained mainly by parishes. Catechist schools were founded only in the parishes of Northern and Eastern Lapland. In other parishes instruction was given by itinerant schools. Even in the beginning of the 1920’s the amount of school-aged children in Lapland was higher in itinerant schools than in primary ones. The last catechist school was closed in Inari in 1954. The history of the primary school and comprehensive school can be divided into four periods. The starting point was the year 1866 when the Regulation on Primary Schools was issued. This first period came to an end in 1898 when each municipality of Lapland became obliged to divide its area into school districts. The Regulation on Primary Schools didn’t oblige rural municipalities to found schools but made it possible for them. In school year 1897-98 only 24 schools gave instruction in Lapland. The obligation to form school districts brought schools even to the biggest villages in peripheral areas. In school year 1920-21 there were 96 schools in Lapland. The Compulsory Education Act was issued in 1921. The inhabitants of Lapland were active and hence in the autumn 1929 there were already 205 primary schools. The years subsequent to the war meant rapid progress in society with the result that more than 160 new primary schools were founded in Lapland. In school year 1957-58 the amount of schools was at its highest, 425. The fourth period in the history of the primary school and comprehensive school comprises the school years 1958-99. At that time the Primary Schools Act and Comprehensive Schools Act were in force. In the 1960’s Finland and first of all Lapland were met by a severe crisis. Until now the increase of population had been strong. Now, however, it began to decrease. The inhabitants of peripheral areas began migrating to towns, Southern Finland and Sweden. In 1974-75 the amount of lower levels of the comprehensive school was no more than 313. The situation improved to some extent for 15 years due to the measures taken by the state. Consequently, in 1989-90 there were still 281 schools. In the 1990’s Finland was shaken up by depression. In Lapland, then, unemployment increased, which resulted in migration. In autumn 1998 there were 200 lower levels of the comprehensive school. The only secondary school in Lapland was for a long time in Tornio. The next secondary school was founded in the town of Kemi in 1897. In autumn 1939 there were three educational institutions in Lapland enabling the students to continue their studies at university. After the war, especially in the 1960´s, plenty of secondary schools were founded in Lapland.

Kyseessä on perustutkimus. Tarkas- telu alkaa kunkin koulumuodon ensimmäisen oppilaitoksen käynnistymisestä. Vuoden 1750 tienoil- la aloittivat Utsjoella Suomen ensimmäiset kiertävät katekeetat opetustyönsä. Ensimmäinen kansa- koulu avattiin Rovaniemellä 1870. Lappi siirtyi peruskoulujärjestelmään 1972. Tornion pedagogio sai perustamisluvan 1630. Kirkolliset koulut olivat kiinteitä tai kiertäviä. Kiinteiden koulujen merkitys Lapissa oli vähäi- nen. Kiertävät koulut ryhmitellään katekeetta- ja kiertokouluiksi. Niiden opetustavoitteet olivat yhteneväiset. Katekeettojen palkat maksoi valtio. Kiertokoulujen toiminnan rahoittivat lähinnä seu- rakunnat. Katekeettakouluja perustettiin vain Pohjois- ja Itä-Lapin seurakuntiin. Muissa seurakun- nissa opetuksesta vastasivat kiertokoulut. Lapin kiertävissä kouluissa oli vielä 1920-luvun alussa enemmän kouluikäisiä kuin kansakouluissa. Viimeinen katekeettakoulu suljettiin Inarissa 1954. Kansa- ja peruskoulujen toiminta-aika jakaantuu luontevasti neljään jaksoon. Lähtöpiste on kan- sakouluasetuksen syntymävuosi 1866, ja ensimmäinen etappi päättyy 1898 piirijakoasetuksen anta- miseen. Kansakouluasetus ei määrännyt maalaiskuntia perustamaan kansakouluja, mutta teki sen mahdolliseksi. Lukuvuonna 1897-98 oli Lapissa vain 24 koulua. Piirijakoasetus toi kouluja myös suurimpiin sivukyliin. Lukuvuonna 1920-21 kouluja oli 96. Oppivelvollisuuslaki annettiin 1921. Lapin asukkaat olivat aktiivisia, ja syksyllä 1929 kansakou- luja oli jo 205. Väkevästi elettyinä sodanjälkeisinä vuosina Lapissa käynnistettiin vielä yli 160 uut- ta kansakoulua. Lukuvuonna 1957-58 kouluja oli ennätysmäärä 425. Neljäs tarkastelukausi käsittää lukuvuodet 1958-99, jolloin kansa- ja peruskoululait olivat voi- massa. Suomea ja ennenkaikkea Lappia kohtasi 1960-luvulla suuri murros. Väestön voimakas kasvu pysähtyi kääntyen laskuun. Muuttoliike suuntautui maatalouskylistä kaupunkeihin, Etelä-Suomeen ja Ruotsiin. Ala-asteita oli 1974-75 enää 313. Valtion toimenpitein tilanne tasoittui 15 vuodeksi, ja kouluja oli 1989-90 vielä 281. Lama ravisteli 1990-luvulla Suomea. Lapissakin työttömyys kasvoi aiheuttaen poismuuttoaallon. Syksyllä 1998 ala-asteita oli 200. Torniossa oli pitkään Lapin ainoa oppikoulu. Kemistä tuli oppikoulukaupunki 1897. Syksyllä 1939 oli Lapissa kolme yliopistoon johtavaa oppilaitosta. Sodan jälkeen, erityisesti 1960-luvulla, perustettiin Lappiin runsaasti oppikouluja.

Silva Fennica vol. 50 no. 3 article id 1565. 20 p. http://dx.doi.org/10.14214/sf.1565. Highlights • The effect of bedrock and soil on moose damage in forest plantations were examined. • Moose damage were concentrated in nutrient rich bedrock areas. • Bedrock of damaged stands contained a higher proportion of mafic and alkaline rocks. • Pine-dominated stands on fine grained fertile forest sites had the highest damage risk. Abstract There is evidence that moose are attracted to fertile growth habitats apparently due to better qual- ity and larger quantities of food. The nutrients in mineral soils originate from the weathering of bedrock and the composition of parental bedrock affects the fertility of produced mineral soil, thus affecting also the import of nutrients into the whole food web. We surveyed the connec- tion between moose damage in forest plantations and the composition of bedrock and surficial deposits in Finnish Lapland. We used a database of compensated moose damage in private forests in years 1997−2010.

  • The Inselberg Landscape in Finnish Lapland: a Morphological Study Based on the Lidar Data Interpretation
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, Vol. 90, 2018, pp 239–256, https://doi.org/10.17741/bgsf/90.2.008 The inselberg landscape in Finnish Lapland: a morphological study based on the LiDAR data interpretation Keijo Nenonen1, Peter Johansson2, Olli Sallasmaa1, Pertti Sarala2* and Jukka-Pekka Palmu1 1 Geological Survey of Finland, P.O. Box 96, FI-02151 Espoo, Finland 2 Geological Survey of Finland, P.O. Box 77, FI-96101 Rovaniemi, Finland Abstract An advanced method to study geomorphology of the well-known inselberg landscape in Finnish Lapland is introduced. Conventionally topographical maps and altitude reference produced from stereographic aerial photographs has been used. Now the LiDAR data has opened a new way to study geomorphology and terrain in detail. We applied the new methods in eastern Finnish Lapland from where seven inselbergs have been identified and analysed. With an accurate elevation data and images we could identify the detailed morphology in the inselbergs and examine the processes that actively alter the terrain. LiDAR data opened a view to the preglacial history and processes. Some preliminary estimations of the rate and amount of preglacial erosion could be made. It seems that erosion rate may have been in order of 2–10 m/Myr in Lapland based on existing datings and stratigraphic observations. Weathering and erosion history in Lapland is long as the kaolinite clays of Late Cenozoic, Mesozoic or even Mesoproterozoic in age are found in the weathered bedrock. Although all disconformities older than the Mesozoic era have probably been eroded to an unidentifiable extent, there is good reason to suppose that the main characteristics of the relief, including inselbergs, originated as early as the Late Cretaceous or at least in the Palaeocene.

  • Finland – Land of Mires
    THE FINNISH ENVIRONMENT 23 | 2006 F This is a book about Finnish mires. There have been three reasons to make IN NATURE L Finland – land of mires this book. Firstly: Finland really is a land of mires. We wish to tell the readers AND – what are the Finnish mires and how they look like. This book is an attempt to TTapioapio LindhLindholmolm anand��� Raimoaimo Hh������������ (eds.) answer a question how these mires are functioning and how they have deve- L loped. The oldest mires are about 11 000 thousand years in Eastern Finland. AND OF MIRES The youngest mires develop at present along the Bothnian Bay coast in the west. In the south, mires have some similarity to Central European mires, and in the north the mires are close to the Arctic. Secondly: One third of the territory of Finland has been covered by mires and they have also been a target of very intensive land use. The history of land use and data on the nature conservation activities are presented in this book. The earliest use of Finnish mires has been to turn them into arable fields. In the 1900s there has been very extensive drainage for forestry. Also peat extraction, water reservoir construction, road construction and settlements have destroyed mires. On the opposite, especially during the second half of 20th century there have been several programmes to protect mires. Thirdly: As a consequence of different activities in Finnish mires we have had a long and versatile tradition to study mires. This book gives an overview of the knowledge we have on our mires in Finland.

The goalof the research was tobuild a more than7000-year long continuous pine ring-width chronology. The constructionof the chronology is nowcompleted. The intensive phase of the data collectionand chronology buildinglasted about10 years, 1989to 1999. The major partof the Finnish Lapland master curvewas con- structedseveral years ago,but it was extremely difcult to bridge the c. 300-yeargap, prior to 165 bc between the‘ absolute’younger part of thechronology and the ‘ oating’older part. The crucial samples were identied andassembled inthe chronology in early 1999,and there is nowan unbroken pine chronology about 7500 years longconstructed from the subfossil forest-limit pines of northern Finnish Lapland. The severe growth depressioncentred on 330 bc is likelyto have been caused byincreased wetness.
