Now you have come to the page, Choose variable. This page give you the oportunity to select which variables and values you want to display in your result of the table. A variable is a property of a statistical unit. The page is divided into several boxes, one for each variable, where you can select values by click to highlight one or more values. It always starts with the statistics variable which is the main value counted in the table.

Changes in butterfly populations indicate the ecological state of the agricultural environment. Butterfly populations react more quickly to changes in their local environment than bird populations and, as a result, indicate any changes in agricultural environments. Butterfly populations have been monitored in Finland since 1999. Weather conditions in the middle of summer largely explain this variation. Due to annual variation and the short duration of the monitoring period, it is not currently possible to draw any major conclusions of the development of butterfly populations. In the indicator, the year 2001 is 1.0. The general index includes 45 species.
