modelling approach and comprehensive data on active and inactive cryoturbation and solifluction features from a subarctic area of Finnish Lapland are investigated at a landscape scale. In the cryoturbation modelling, vegetation abundance is the most
cryoturbation and solifluction data and environmental variables from subarctic Finland. The findings indicate that careful examination of the response curves may provide new insights into theoretical debates in the earth sciences.
The northernmost part of Scandinavia, the Varanger peninsula, belongs to Subarcticzone. It is possible to observe there the occurrence of both active and inactive periglacial phenomena at the some height above sea level. The area is picked out
as being transitional between the active periglacial zone of the Arctic, and the fossilised periglacial zone of Central Europe. In comparison with Spitsbergen, Varanger only exhibits half the active high Arctic periglacial processes.
