Response of old‐growth montane Picea abies (L.) Karst. forest to climatic variability in northern Sweden
summary Repeat photography and tree ring analyses were used to investigate structural change, 1938–88, of an old growth and high elevation Picea abies (L.) Karst. forest in northern Sweden. The forest, initially moribund, senescent and top‐broken, regenerated broken tops and apparently gained in vig...
