Dendroclimatic signals deduced from riparian versus upland forest interior pines in North Karelia, Finland
Abstract Radial growth of boreal tree species is only rarely studied in riparian habitats. Here we investigated chronologies of earlywood, latewood, and annual ring widths and blue intensity (BI; a surrogate to latewood density) from riparian lake shore and upland forest interior pines ( Pinus sylve...

Abstract Radial growth of boreal tree species is only rarely studied in riparian habitats.
