Species monitoring

Agriculture
Environment

Species monitoring consists of regular mapping of field margin vegetation, farmland birds and game mammals in the same research areas, and of GIS-based landscape structure analysis. In addition, an annual update of the farmland bird index conducted by the Finnish Museum of Natural History is included and published. 

Information produced: 

  • Changes in the species composition and diversity of field margin plant communities
  • Changes in the abundance of farmland birds and game mammals
  • Changes in landscape structure
  • Changes in bird indicator
