The relationship between the climate and budburst of the mountain birch was evaluated for two areas in subarctic (ca 69°N) Fennoscandia; at Abisko, Swedish Lapland, and at Kevo, Finnish Lapland. Thermal time (TT, degree‐day sums) to budburst was calculated for experimental conditions in the laborato...
