We studied the occurrence of extreme weather events and their effects on the carbon dioxide and water exchange of two subarctic forest stands. One study site was a Scots pine site in eastern Finnish Lapland (VarriO), and the other was a Norway spruce site in western Finnish Lapland (Kenttarova). We...
