Climatic fluctuation is a serious problem for forestry in Lapland. Some indications about the nature and causal relationships of such fluctuation have been discussed. Cyclic variation can be explained by a “memory” in the atmosphere, variation in the Moons's gravitation, and solar activity.
The index of atmospheric circulation over the northern hemisphere was the most effective climatic parameter in explaining the growth variation of Scots pine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
