Long-Term Temperature Trends and Tree Growth in the Taymir Region of Northern Siberia
Abstract The northernmost conifers in the world are located well above the Arctic Circle in the Taymir region of northern Siberia and have been recording the thermal environment for centuries to millennia. The trees respond to temperatures beyond the narrow season of actual cambial cell division by...
