Impact of climate change on radial growth of Siberian spruce and Scots pine in North-western Russia
When adapting forest management practices to a changing environment, it is very important to understand the response of an unmanaged natural forest to climate change. The method used to identify major climatic factors influencing radial growth of Siberian spruce and Scots pine along a latitudinal gr...
