“…Climatic regions are not static but undergo dynamic and unpredictable changes (Bryson, 1974;Gribbin, 1978;Kutzbach, 1976Kutzbach, , 1978Lamb, 1977;Mason, 1976;Mitchell, 1976;Pittock et al, 1978;Shutts and Green, 1978), and these changes have rather dramatic effects on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by altering responses of the constituent biotic elements. Truly equilibrium states probably do not exist, and the climatic system can be regarded as being in a continual state of transient adjustment (Mitchell, 1971).…”

“…For these reasons cycle hunting, once so promising an approach, has lately fallen into disrepute among some climatologists (e.g. Mason 1976). Their approach is quite different when it is based on as exact and complete weather records as possible and on numerical modelling of causal relationships.…”

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.

“…1976). I t is widely agreed that a causal relationship links the two processes and that the dependence of climate on the e a r t h ' s o r b i t will ccntinue in the future (~l o ' h n 1973, Kukla 1975, Mason 1976).…”
