It is located in northwest Finland at 67\u00b0 N, close to the Swedish border. The surrounding area consists of  northern forests and peatlands, as well as mountains  up to 700 m a.s.l. Kolari village is approximately 4 km, and the Muonio River is approximately 300 meters away from the station. The Pallas-Yll\u00e4s National Park is located 30 km from station. Geographically, the Kolari area is located between Northern Finland, Forest Lapland and Fell Lapland. Snow covers the landscape from November to May.\r\n\r\nThe technical staff and facilities based in Kolari support ecological research in northern Finland, focusing on north boreal forests and peatlands as well as on fish populations in the Tornionjoki river system. ICP Forests Level II site in Pallasj\u00e4rvi and many other Luke\u2019s long-term forest and peatland experiments, including managed and semi-natural reference areas (trials on tree breeding and progeny, fertilization, northern timberline forests) are largely maintained from Kolari. Research carried out on nature-based tourism is also supported.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":1964,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":null,"siteName":"Kolari Field Site","shortName":"Kolari","siteType":"Stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/kolari-field-site-finland_5759.jpg","alt":"Kolari Field Site photo: Mikko Jokinen"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":0.8,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":550,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":"boreal","biome":"taiga","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Forest","uri":null},{"label":"Rivers","uri":null},{"label":"Tundra","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":[{"label":"Aapa mires (D3.2)","uri":null},{"label":"Aapa, palsa and polygon mires (D3)","uri":null},{"label":"Grasslands and lands dominated by forbs, mosses or lichens (E)","uri":null},{"label":"Heathland, scrub and tundra (F)","uri":null},{"label":"Inland surface waters (C)","uri":null},{"label":"Mires, bogs and fens (D)","uri":null},{"label":"Woodland, forest and other wooded land (G)","uri":null}],"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Fresh water rivers","Terrestrial"],"geology":null,"hydrology":null,"soils":null,"vegetation":null},"geographic":{"boundaries":null,"coordinates":"POINT (23.8294 67.3544)","country":["Finland"],"elevation":{"avg":221,"min":200,"max":800,"unit":"msl"},"size":{"value":2500,"unit":"ha"},"relatedLocations":null},"focusDesignScale":{"experiments":{"design":"partly experimentation","scale":"plot scale"},"observations":{"design":"mainly observation","scale":"beyond catchment"},"observedProperties":[{"label":"biological parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20940"},{"label":"chemical parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/10333"},{"label":"ecosystem parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20939"},{"label":"environmental parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20941"},{"label":"soil parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20944"},{"label":"water parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20945"}]},"infrastructure":{"accessibleAllYear":true,"accessType":"regular car","allPartsAccessible":true,"maintenanceInterval":null,"permanentPowerSupply":true,"operation":{"permanent":true,"notes":null,"siteVisitInterval":null},"notes":null,"collection":[{"label":"2 - 5 places","uri":null},{"label":"Boat","uri":null},{"label":"Cable based","uri":null},{"label":"Central station(s)","uri":null},{"label":"Daily","uri":null},{"label":"No lodging possible","uri":null},{"label":"Other data services","uri":null},{"label":"Relational database","uri":null},{"label":"Snow clearing equipment","uri":null},{"label":"Snow mobile","uri":null},{"label":"Vehicle 2WD","uri":null}],"data":{"policy":{"url":null,"rights":["The opportunity to collaborate on the project using the dataset"],"notes":"Several players having different Data Policies utilize the Kolari Field Site."}}},"relatedResources":null,"projectRelated":{"lter":{"lterSiteClassification":"Regular Site"}}}}
