International audience This research is focused on the effective management of spatial data: organizing geographical and environmental data of the Finnish ecosystems in a structured and systematical way for further environmental assessment. The study area is situated within central Finland and some data in the North Finland. The work is aimed on the structuring and management of spatial data for environmental assessment. The data were organized in an ArcGIS project. The data were collected during the last 20 years. The data build up core environmental information cluster for the biogeochemical soil analysis of the ecosystem components. To represent data measurement placements within the study area and for additional spatial or thematic information: satellite imagery, shaded maps, pictures captures during the expeditions and any text describing the places. The mapping project FINLAND.mxd has been started using ArcGIS 9.1 software. The research has been carried out on the Biogeochemistry Research Unit, Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Department of the Environmental Sciences, University of Kuopio (Eastern Finland).
