“…All these in their separate ways influence the pastoral system and may therefore reasonably be assumed to reduce the proportional influence of climate variation on the dynamics of reindeer husbandry. The influence of non-climate anthropogenic factors on reindeer pastoralism has recently received considerable attention (e.g., Brännlund and Axelsson, 2011;Vuojala-Magga, 2012;Löf, 2013;Turi and Keskitalo, 2014;Strøm Bull, 2015;Riseth et al, 2016;Tolvanen et al, 2019;du Plessis, 2020;Hausner et al, 2020;Kirchner, 2020, this study;see also López-i-Gelats et al, 2015. There is increasing recognition that the effects of human intervention may on occasion far exceed those of climate variation on reindeer pastoralism (Vitebsky, 2005;Anderson, 2006;Povoroznyuk, 2007;Tyler et al, 2007;Rees et al, 2008;Konstantinov, 2015;Uboni et al, 2016) particularly, but not exclusively, in the near-term (Kelman and Naess, 2019).…”
