The EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology project (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/) collects and harmonizes marine geological data from the European sea areas to support decision- making and sustainable marine spatial planning. The partnership includes 36 marine organizations from 30 countries. The partners, mainly from the marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe (through the Association of European Geological Surveys-EuroGeoSurveys), have assembled marine geological information at a scale of 1:250 000 from all European sea areas (e.g. the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Barents Sea, the Iberian Coast, and the Mediterranean Sea within EU waters). This data includes the EMODnet seabed substrate map at a scale of 1:250 000 from the European marine areas. Traditionally, European countries have conducted their marine geological surveys according to their own national standards and classified substrates on the grounds of their national classification schemes. These national classifications are harmonized into a shared EMODnet schema using Folk's sediment triangle with a hierarchy of 16, 7 and 5 substrate classes. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. The data has been generalized into a target scale (1:250 000). The smallest cartographic unit within the data is 0.3 km2 (30 hectares). Further information about the EMODnet-Geology project is available on the portal (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/).

The partnership includes 36 marine organizations from 30 countries. The partners, mainly from the marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe (through the Association of European Geological Surveys-EuroGeoSurveys), have assembled marine geological information at a scale of 1:1 000 000 from all European sea areas (e.g. the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Barents Sea, the Iberian Coast, and the Mediterranean Sea within EU waters). This data includes the EMODnet seabed substrate map at a scale of 1:1 000 000 from the European marine areas. Traditionally, European countries have conducted their marine geological surveys according to their own national standards and classified substrates on the grounds of their national classification schemes. These national classifications are harmonized into a shared EMODnet schema using Folk's sediment triangle with a hierarchy of 16, 7 and 5 substrate classes. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. The data has been generalized into a target scale (1:1 000 000). The smallest cartographic unit within the data is 4 km2. Further information about the EMODnet- Geology project is available on the portal (http://www.emodnet- geology.eu/).

The Topographic database is a dataset depicting the terrain of all of Finland. The key objects in the Topographic database are the road network, buildings and constructions, administrative borders, geographic names, land use, waterways and elevation. Aerial photographs, scanning data and data provided by other data providers are utilised in updating the Topographic database. The updating is done in close cooperation with the municipalities. Field checks in the terrain are also needed to some extent, mostly as regards the classification of features. The topographic database is used in the production of other map products and in various optimisation tasks. The product belongs to the open data of the National Land Survey of Finland.

The Regional Stream Water Geochemical Mapping data set gives information on the elemental concentrations in organic sediments of small headwater streams. The samples have been taken from small headwater streams (catchment area under 30 km2) in the late summer of 1990. Sampling has been repeated for about every fourth point during the years 1995, 2000 and 2006. The number of samples was 1162 in 1990 (at a density of one sample / 300 km2), 286 in 1995, 286 in 2000 and 249 in 2006. The data set covers the whole of Finland. Stream water samples have also been taken at the same time. Sampling, processing and analysis methods have been described in the Geochemical Atlas of Finland, Part 3, p. 27 - 30 (Lahermo et. al 1996). Field observations, coordinates and element concentrations determined from samples have been made into a database, in which each record represents one sample point. The data for each sampling year have been recorded on different tables. The method of analysis is referred to with a four-character method code. The codes are as follows: 503H = mercury determination using the cold vapour method 503P = nitric acid extraction in a microwave oven, measurement with ICP-AES 503M = nitric acid extraction in a microwave oven, measurement with ICP-MS 820L = carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen determination with a LECO analyser. The element concentration data include a numerical concentration value (as mg kg-1 or ppm) and possibly a check mark. The concentration is recorded as a variable, which has a name that comprises the chemical symbol for the element and the code for the method of analysis. For example AS_503M is arsenic (As) concentration, which is determined with the ICP-MS method (503M). The next variable has a check mark, for example AS_503MT. If the numerical value following the check mark is ‘>’ or '‘<’ then the number recorded in the concentration field is the determination limit of the chemical analytical method used and the actual concentration is less than this value. If the check mark is an exclamation mark (!), the analytical result is smaller than the determination limit of the analytical method use but the (unreliable) value obtained with the measuring instrument has been entered in the database. There is no data are if the check mark is a 'x'. The original purpose of the Regional Stream Water Geochemical Mapping data set was national general geochemical mapping and the basic assessment of environmental state. Other uses are, for example, the assessment of changes in environmental state and determination of the baseline concentrations of surface water as part of the evaluation of the chemical state of catchment areas in accordance with the Water Framework Directive of the EU.

The GML file products containing geographic names comprise of place name products and map name products. The place name products include data about approximately 800,000 named places and their names in different languages. Data about place are among others place type, plane location and height above sea level, and data about names are among others the spelling that has been checked by the Institute for the Languages of Finland and language (Finnish, Swedish, Northern Sami, Inari Sami or Skolt Sami. In the place name products, every place and its name or names appear only once. The map name products contain the place names that have been selected for the National Land Survey's nine standard map products and information about the cartographical presentation of them. The information includes the location of the name on the map, for instance the coordinates of the left lower corner of the map text, the direction and bending of the text as well as typographical information, such as font type, size and colour. The name of a particular place, such as a river, can appear several times in the same map product. The file products containing geographic names are GML files whose contents are equivalent to the interface products in the Geographic names search service (WFS). One file always contains the data about the entire country. There are two place name products (Places and Place names), nine map name products, one for each map product (map scale). The geographic names products are available for downloading on the National Land Survey's File service of open data https://tiedostopalvelu.maanmittauslaitos.fi/tp/kartta/?lang=en

Lack of spatial soil data in digital form has been a primary obstacle in establishing European policies on land use and environmental protection. Abundant data on soil characteristics exist in Finland but have been scattered among various sources, making it difficult for authorities to make country-wide presentations and predictions.The objective of the project was to create georeferenced soil map and database according to the instructions of the European Soil Bureau using data from existing databases and collecting some new data. The basis of the work was a geological map of quaternary deposits, which describes the soil at a depth of 1 metrem (parent material) according to the Finnish classification based on the concentration of organic matter and the texture of mineral material. Primary research topics included generalization methodology of soil polygons with GIS technology, calculation of soil characteristics needed in the database and computerizing the existing non-digital soil information. It was proved that aerial geophysics can be used for separation of shallow peats from deep peat soils and muddy soils and other wet areas can be identified. Soil names according to the FAO/Unesco system and the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB-2014) were derived from the soil names of the Finnish soil classification system and geophysical data. Soilscape (Soil Mapping Units) of Finland with WRB-2014 soil classification, intented to be used in European scale e.g to delineate risk areas mentioned in soil framework directive proposal.

The Superficial deposits of Finland 1:200 000 (sediment polygons) contains data produced from the whole of Finland during the period 2002-2009. The data set can be used in regional planning, in military defence, in soil mapping (EU) and in joint mapping projects in various areas. The mapping scale has been 1:50 000-1:200 000. In compiling the medium-scale data set, generalised 1:20 000, 1:50 000 and 1:100 000 superficial deposits maps have been used and a new map product at a scale of 1:200 000 that is based on interpretation and field mapping. The minimum size of the sediment polygons is about six hectares. Exceptions are glaciofluvial, marginal till and hummocky moraine deposits, which are presented in the data set as areas with a surface area greater than two hectares. The blanketing peat overburden has been described in the new map product as a peat-covered area (0-0.3 m of peat), thin peat (0.3-0.6 m of peat) and thick peat (over 0.6 m of peat). Peat-covered areas, stone fields and uncovered bedrock areas have been added to the new production map by generalising the corresponding polygons in the terrain database of the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS). In connection with the generation of new production map, field observations have been gathered on the overburden thickness and the stratigraphic sequence at a depth of one metre as well as on rock exposures. Coordinate reference system of the Superficial deposits of Finland 1:200 000 (sediment polygons) was transformed in March 2013. The transformation from Finnish National Grid Coordinate System (Kartastokoordinaattijärjestelmä, KKJ) Uniform Coordinate Frame to ETRS-TM35FIN projection was done by using the three-dimensional transformation in accordance with the recommendations for the public administration JHS154.

Datapaketet Skogsområden med högt biodiversitetsvärde i Finland består av 12 landsomfattande rasterkartor. Dessa 12 kartor är olika versioner av biodiversitetsvärden i Finlands skogar. Rasterkartornas upplösning är 96 x 96 meter. Enkla anvisningar för att läsa rasterkartorna: Ju större numeriskt värde, desto högre biodiversitetsvärde. National = Nationella analyser över biodiversitetsvärden i finska skogar (sex analyser) Regional = Regionala analyser över biodiversitetsvärden i finska skogar (ser ut som en karta men är i själva verket en samling av 13 separata analyser, region = Närings-, trafik- och miljöcentralen i Finland) (sex analyser) Sex olika prioriteringar av naturskydd gjordes med Zonation-programvaran (a) så att varje ny version innefattade allt som fanns med i tidigare, enklare analysversioner. National / Regional 1 Potentiell mängd död ved: Version 1 (V1) innefattade potentiell mängd död ved* på lokal nivå. Områden med många stora träd, många trädslag och ovanliga skogsmiljöer får högt lokalt värde. National / Regional 2 Potentiell mängd död ved och straff: Version 2 = V1 + straff för åtgärder som har negativ inverkan på biodiversiteten. De lokala värdena stämde bättre överens med verkligheten när man tog hänsyn till verkliga förändringar i skogar. National / Regional 3 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet: Version 3 = V2 + konnektivitet utifrån ekologisk likhet, avstånd och kvalitet mellan skogsområden (genomsnittlig försvagning 400 m). Ofragmenterade skogsområden av hög kvalitet framkommer. National / Regional 4 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet + RL-arter: Version 4 = V3 + observationer av rödlistade skogsarter. Habitat med rödlistade skogsarter framkommer. National / Regional 5 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet + RL-arter + skogslagen 10 §: Version 5 = V4 + konnektivitet till särskilt viktiga livsmiljöer enligt skogslagens 10 § (genomsnittlig försvagning 200 m). Värdefulla skogsområden och landskap i närheten av skyddade skogsområden med högt biodiversitetvärde framkommer. National / Regional 6 Potentiell mängd död ved – straff + skogskonnektivitet + RL-arter + skogslagen 10 § + PN-konnektivitet: Version 6 = V5 + konnektivitet till permanenta naturskyddsområden (genomsnittlig försvagning 2 km). Värdefulla skogsområden och landskap i närheten av skyddade områden med högt biodiversitetvärde framkommer. *Uträkning av potentiell mängd död ved (PMDV) PMDV beräknades i två skeden för varje skikt träslag i varje trädskikt: 1) Index för potentiell mängd död ved (PMDVi) togs fram med MOTTI-programmet (b, c, d). • 168 trädslag, fertilitetsklass och latitudkombinationer 2) PMDVi användes för att omvandla diameter och volym till potentiell mängd död ved • Genererades för hela Finland enligt bestånd med en upplösning på 16 x 16 m • Kombinerades sedan i 20 trädslag och fertilitetsklasser och förenades till 96 x 96 m upplösning. Inmatade data Den potentiella mängden död ved beräknades från beståndsdata (trädslag, medeldiameter, volym, vegetationsklass) vilket omfattade hela landet. Bästa möjliga data användes för varje område. - 24 % av Finland täcks av statligt ägda skogs- och naturskyddsområden och privata naturskyddsområden. o Forststyrelsens Naturtjänster: data om fält- och bestånd (5/2015) o Forststyrelsens Skogsbruk: data om fält- och bestånd (5/2015) o Privatägda naturskyddsområden: data om fält- och bestånd (5/2015) - 37 % av Finland täcks av privatägd skog som inte är naturskyddsområden: Skogscentralen, skogsdata (6.5.2005–6.5.2015) - 39 % av Finland täcks av o Naturresursinstitutet: Nationella skogsinventariedata som är tillverkat med skogsinventeringsmetod som utnyttjar information om riksskogstaxeringens provytor och satellitbilder 2013 (volym, trädslag, vegetationsklass och medeldiameter) Spatiella data om skogsbruk med negativ effekt på biodiversitet (till exempel fällning, gallring och dikning) (uppdaterades 10/2017) - Lantmäterivärket och Finlands miljöcentral SYKE: dikning i finsk torvmark (SOJT_09b1) - Forststyrelsens Skogsbruk: utförda anmälningar om användning av skog och dikningsfigurer - Skogscentralen: anmälningar om användning av skog och dikningsfigurer - University of Maryland/Dept. of Geographica Sciences: Global Forest Change/Forest Cover Loss 2000-2014 Observationer av skogsarter som har rödlistats av IUCN (sedan 1990): Finländska miljödatabasen HERTTA Spatiella data om särskilt viktiga livsmiljöer enligt skogslagens 10 § (uppdaterades 10/2017) - Forststyrelsens Skogsbruk och Skogscentralen Spatiella data om permanenta naturskyddsområden (uppdaterades 2/2018) - Forststyrelsens Naturtjänster: databas över naturskyddsområden SATJ Bakgrund Områden som är viktiga för skogens biodiversitet identifierades runt om i Finland för att främja hållbar markanvändning genom planering och naturskydd på lokal, regional och nationell nivå genom att informera markägare, ministerier och skogtjästemän. Vikten av sådana analyser beror på ökad användning av naturresurser och skadliga effekter på biodiversiteten tillsammans med begränsade naturskyddsresurser. Dessa betonar vikten av att utveckla kostnadseffektiv, ekologiskt hållbar markanvändning som dessa spatiella prioriteringar av naturskydd för skogar som görs för första gången för hela Finland. Prioriteringsmetoden Zonation användes för att hitta nya skogsområden med potentiellt högt skyddsvärde. Det övergripande målet var att tillämpa rikstäckande prioriteringsanalyser utifrån skogsdata relaterade till biodiversitet och markanvändningsdata som hade samlats in på beståndsnivå. De data som primärt tillämpades på skogsstruktur och -kvalitet (vegetationsklass, trädslag, volym och diameter) gav ekologiskt användbara ersättningar för skyddsvärde i barrskog. Resultaten visar att en betydande andel skog med högt biodiversitetsvärde finns utanför det aktuella nätverket för finska naturskyddsområden. Eftersom största delen av det finska skogsområdet är kommersiellt kan nätverket för naturskyddsområden inte stoppa den pågående nedgången av biodiversitet i skogarna.
