Genom analys av övervakningsdata har ett forskarlag studerat hur de senaste 40 årens klimatförändringar påverkat 1 500 djur- och växtarter i Finland. Det visade sig att stigande temperaturer och kortvarigare snötäcke under vintrarna har fått hundratals arter att anpassa sig till nya klimatförhållanden, varav vissa har flyttat norrut. Finland är känt för sitt omfattande övervakningsprogram för fågl
