the Quaternary period, covered by windblown sand in the form of linear desert dunes. These findings have implications for Pleistocene refugia in Africa and may explain both the relative paucity and high degree of endemism observed among African biota.

are meant to afford a background to the importance of the Paanajärvi - Oulanka region as an immigration route for biota across the vast barrens of the northern taiga. A short vocabulary of some important Finnish geographical terms is presented.

Island ecosystems are formed from the same generic building blocks as continental ecosystems. Accessibility of species to the island habitat is a primary limitation that prevents many species of the regional biota from becoming established. Limited
Geomorphic research in arid environments continues to attract a wide variety of researchers who employ a range of techniques to understand modern processes and landscape evolution in dry lands: 1) biota and geomorphic processes in arid region; 2
It is necessary to control the state of the marine environment. The influence of polluting factors and the response of the oceanic biota as a whole to them is to be evaluated on the basis of a complex approach. The future of the ocean depends upon
