Kevo Subarctic Research Institute Platform Kevo research station was founded in 1958. It lies about 60 km north of the continuous pine forest line and belongs to the subarctic Mountain Birch Forest Zone close to both the local pine tree line and the birch tree line at the forest-tundra ecotone. The Station has got a long tradition in manipulative experiments addressing cause-effect relationships of anthropogenic environmental changes. It is known for the research on plant herbivore interactions and research on palsa mires. There are long-term experiments studying the effects of aerial pollutants, precipitation, warming, and the impacts of reindeer grazing. The station has got arboretums with different origins of arctic treeline species. There is monitoring data available on population dynamics of moths, rodents, birds, plant phenology, pollen deposits, and meteorological data. The station also holds up to 50-year-old bio-geographical mapping data of the surrounding area.
