The impact of climate change on species in Finland

Abstrakti

Climatic conditions constitute the very defining dimensions of abiotic conditions for biodiversity. Now these fundamental settings are changing at rapid pace, and this transformation is not only something looming around the corner, but the change is already here. In this summary I want to emphasize the responses through which species can adjust to a change in climate and I will describe some signatures of the effect of climate change on the fauna and flora in Finland.
