TL;DR: In this article, the authors forecasted changes in the distributions of 27 northern land bird species in the 21st century, based on predicted rates of climate change, and used climate and bird atlas data of Finland and northern Norway from 1971-1990 to establish bioclimatic envelope models for each species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the vulnerability of 100 European butterfly species to climate change using 13 different criteria and data on species distributions, climate, land cover and topography from 1,608 grid squares 30′×-60′ in size.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used generalized additive models (GAM) with a stepwise selection procedure to select relevant explanatory variables and examine the complexity of the response shapes of the different species to each variable.

TL;DR: In this paper, a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Finnish forest industry was carried out to assess environmental impacts and to identify needs and options for environmental improvements in the forest sector.

TL;DR: In this paper, four main types of models were developed using the North American data, including either three baseline climate variables (growing degrees days, temperature of the coldest month, water balance) or an extended set of seven climate variables, both averaged either over a 30-year time slice or a longer 90-year temporal slice.
