Drivers of change in the reindeer management system are rather well-known. But when developing the governance to support the traditional livelihoods, it is crucial to understand also practitioner perceptions. Systematic research on these is lacking. We analyzed the land-use and climate related drivers within the reindeer management area (RMA) in Finland, and, using a perception geography approach, studied the herder perceptions towards these. We conducted an on-site questionnaire survey with herders from 51 herding districts. Factors directly affecting the welfare of reindeer were perceived as crucial by herders, for example basal icing affecting the forage availability, and land-use related factors limiting the seasonal pasture access. Perceptions of herders on biophysical factors were rather homogeneous. The regional heterogeneities in perceptions towards land-use related factors could be explained by spatial differences in land-use and varying herding traditions. Cumulative land-use impacts raised particular concerns. Our approach can be utilized in the co-planning of the northern land-use and more widely in the co-management of natural resources.

Climate change and reindeer management in Finland : Co-analysis of practitioner knowledge and meteorological data for better adaptation
Rasmus, Sirpa; Turunen, Minna; Luomaranta, Anna; Kivinen, Sonja; Jylhä, Kirsti; Räihä, Jani (Elsevier, 2020)We studied interannual variability and changes over time in selected climate indices in the reindeer management area (RMA) in northern Finland. We present together the knowledge possessed by reindeer herders with information ... -
Environmental and biological factors are joint drivers of mercury biomagnification in subarctic lake food webs along a climate and productivity gradient
Kozak, Natalia; Ahonen, Salla A.; Keva, Ossi; Østbye, Kjartan; Taipale, Sami J.; Hayden, Brian; Kahilainen, Kimmo K. (Elsevier, 2021)Subarctic lakes are getting warmer and more productive due to the joint effects of climate change and intensive land-use practices (e.g. forest clear-cutting and peatland ditching), processes that potentially increase ... -

Winter feeding effects on female reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) gut microbiota and to short chain fatty acid production
Mönttinen, Miitri (2022)Gut microbiota (the community of microbes) metabolises otherwise undigestible components of the diet, most of all those found in plant and lichen cell walls. This process forms short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) which are ... -
Long-Term Climate Trends and Extreme Events in Northern Fennoscandia (1914–2013)
Kivinen, Sonja; Rasmus, Sirpa; Jylhä, Kirsti; Laapas, Mikko (MDPI AG, 2017)We studied climate trends and the occurrence of rare and extreme temperature and precipitation events in northern Fennoscandia in 1914–2013. Weather data were derived from nine observation stations located in Finland, ...
