The dwarf shrub Cassiope tetragona (Arctic bell-heather) is increasingly used for arctic climate reconstructions, the reliability of which depends on the existence of a linear climate-growth relationship. This relationship was examined over a high-arctic to sub-arctic temperature gradient and under...
