Impact of reindeer husbandry on lichen grounds in #HS paper. Reminds me of the work by Käyhkö & Pellikka in 1990s. #SPOT satellite image shows how lichen has vanished on the Finnish side (below) next to Norway. #helsinkiuni @geography_uh https://t.co/3SwbabA9Lc @KumpulaScience
En olisi olemassa ilman yhteistyötä. Olen kahden tai jopa kolmen eliön muodostama symbioottinen eliöryhmä – sienen ja levän liitto. Suomessa…
We often think mountain nature is primarily limited by low temperatures. In a study, soil moisture emerged as one of the most significant environmental variables in the mountains, determining where each plant, moss, and lichen species may grow. Measurements reveal that the humidity of the soil varies in the undulating terrain of the fells from one extreme to another even within a few metres.
Walked through the university area, including botanical gardens. Glasshouses were closed. But some of the outdoor flora was still happy. Some…
Four reasons why beaver wetlands are paradise for pin lichens:
1. High amounts of deadwood
2. Diversity of deadwood types
3. High humidity co…

Did you know that mosses and lichens help to cool down the climate and that they are vital for #biodiversity? There are over 900 bryophyte species found in Finland, representing half of the European bryophyte diversity. #HelsinkiSustainability @luomus https://t.co/XZnyddHpW2
