Globally, rising temperatures are increasingly favoring warm-affiliated species. Although changes in community composition are typically measured by the mean temperature affinity of species (the community temperature index, CTI), they may be driven by different processes and accompanied by shifts in the diversity of temperature affinities and breadth of species thermal niches. To resolve the pathways to community warming in Finnish flora and fauna, we examined multidecadal changes in the dominance and diversity of temperature affinities among understory forest plant, freshwater phytoplankton, butterfly, moth, and bird communities. CTI increased for all animal communities, with no change observed for plants or phytoplankton. In addition, the diversity of temperature affinities declined for all groups except butterflies, and this loss was more pronounced for the fastest-warming communities. These changes were driven in animals mainly by a decrease in cold-affiliated species and an increase in warm-affiliated species. In plants and phytoplankton the decline of thermal diversity was driven by declines of both cold- and warm-affiliated species. Plant and moth communities were increasingly dominated by thermal specialist species, and birds by thermal generalists. In general, climate warming outpaced changes in both the mean and diversity of temperature affinities of communities. Our results highlight the complex dynamics underpinning the thermal reorganization of communities across a large spatiotemporal gradient, revealing that extinctions of cold-affiliated species and colonization by warm-affiliated species lag behind changes in ambient temperature, while communities become less thermally diverse. Such changes can have important implications for community structure and ecosystem functioning under accelerating rates of climate change.
Monitoring Habitat Fragmentation and Biodiversity in Forest Ecosystems
Mazziotta, Adriano; Francini, Saverio; Parisi, Francesco; Lapin, Katharina (toim.); Oettel, Janine (toim.); Braun, Martin (toim.); Konrad, Heino (toim.) (Springer, 2025)
The current biodiversity crisis is primarily caused by habitat loss and fragmentation, which are exacerbated by global population expansion and land use intensification. The techniques applied to evaluate the impact of habitat loss and fragmentation in forest ecosystems tend to measure changes in landscape patterns induced by forest degradation. Earth observation techniques and remotely sensed imagery are crucial tools for the large-scale monitoring of forest habitat loss and fragmentation along with related changes in forest biodiversity characteristics. Recently, the relevance of remote sensing for monitoring forest fragmentation has been further amplified by new satellite missions providing up-to-date and high-resolution open-access data available on cloud computing platforms. However, while satellite programmes like Landsat that employ remote sensing techniques are suitable for large-scale monitoring of forest species distribution, they cannot capture micro-spatial variations, since their sensors cannot disentangle forest heterogeneity. Finally, remotely sensed canopy-level information alone cannot fully explain biodiversity patterns. Integration of remote sensing and ground survey activities may help to overcome the limitations of these techniques, providing solutions for designing and optimizing monitoring strategies to tackle forest fragmentation and biodiversity loss in forest ecosystems.

Immunological Medicine (Informa UK Limited, 2025)
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is linked to an imbalance in gut microbiota composition, which can be transferred to the mother’s offspring. Clostridium butyricum, known for its health benefits in diabetes and allergy, lacks sufficient data regarding its effect on the immune system’s development in the offspring of mothers with GDM. This study assessed antibody responses against C. butyricum T2F3 in children of mothers at risk for GDM, involving 88 children aged 1–6 years. Antibody responses were measured with flow cytometry and immunoblot. Lower IgG median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values and fewer IgA and IgG bands against C. butyricum were detected in children of mothers with GDM. Maternal body mass index was positively associated with children’s IgG MFI and number of IgG bands. Fewer IgA bands were detected in children with higher IgE levels, atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. More IgG bands were detected in children with higher anti-β-lactoglobulin IgG levels. Children with autoimmune risk-related HLA-DR3/DQ2.5 had fewer IgA bands, while those with neutral HLA-DR1/DQ5 had higher IgA, but lower IgG MFI. These results indicate that maternal prenatal changes could affect their offspring’s immune response against C. butyricum. Moreover, C. butyricum could have a protective role against allergic sensitization.
Finnish forest owners' willingness to participate in result-based carbon offset schemes

Forest policy and economics (Elsevier, 2025)
Forests are vital carbon sinks, playing a key role in combating climate change by absorbing nearly one-third of global annual greenhouse gas emissions. In Finland, forests cover 75 % of the country's land area. However, there is currently no policy in place to encourage increased carbon sequestration on privately-owned forestland. This study aims to explore forest owners' preferences for results-based carbon offset schemes and their attributes, contributing to the debate on whether to compensate forest owners based on carbon sequestration. To achieve this, data on forest owners' preferences for alternative carbon offset schemes were collected through an online survey, and a choice experiment was conducted. The results revealed significant diversity among Finnish forest owners in their attitudes towards carbon offset schemes. However, compensatory carbon payments appeared to be the only attribute that would motivate respondents in all classes to participate in carbon schemes. The results of both the conditional logit (CL) model and the latent class model (LC) indicated a high preference among forest owners for the non-participation option, suggesting low willingness to accept new schemes.
Navigating the winds of change : presentation of wind power development by regional newspapers in Northern Sweden and Finland

Energy, sustainability and society : 1 (Springer Nature, 2025)
Background: Dramatic reductions in anthropogenic CO2 emissions are needed to mitigate the impacts of rapidly accelerating climate change. In Sweden and Finland efforts to realize the political ambitions to meet international climate objectives, and promote the growth of ‘green’ industries, have focused on rapid expansion of wind farms, but in both countries wind power developments have been controversial. These controversies are especially prominent in the northern regions of the countries which have become hotspots of wind power development. In this article, we focus on these regional wind power debates with the aim to extend scholarly understanding of the spatial justice dimensions of how ‘just’ and ‘green’ transitions unfold. We do this by examining representations of the ways in which the effects of regional wind power development, their management and the ‘right’ places for wind power are debated in 372 articles in Swedish and Finnish regional news media published during 2020–2023. Results: In regional media representations, wind power is discussed in terms of a wide range of experienced and potential impacts. Negative impacts including harm to the environment, biodiversity and human health are discussed. Yet, the positive effects are emphasized, including contributions to national policy goals and the regional socioeconomic benefits of the emergence of a green, low-carbon economy in both the Swedish and Finnish articles. However, envisioned means for managing wind power development in a fair manner differ: compensations and the right to municipal veto are strongly highlighted in the Swedish articles, while Finnish articles focus on the integrity of democratic processes and planning. As the green transition continues to unfold, northern regions are increasingly being represented as the ‘right’ places for wind power, both from outside and within those regions. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the perceived importance of local and regional socioeconomic benefits and local self-determination for positive perceptions of large-scale wind power developments in our focal administrative and legal contexts. Local and regional histories and encounters with earlier resource development continue to shape reactions to and interpretations of resource development projects in contemporary Euro-Arctic North.
