Due to the scarcity of reliable and highly resolved moisture proxies covering much of the
Holocene, there has been increased interest in the study of living and subfossil peatland …

Our overall understanding of long-term climate dynamics is largely based on proxy data
generated from archives such as ice cores, ocean sediments, tree rings, speleothems, and …

Peatlands are recognized as important landscape elements and their disturbance, followed
by the loss of their ecohydrological functions, leads to falling water tables and degradation …

A range of environmental factors regulate tree growth; however, climate is generally thought
to most strongly influence year‐to‐year variability in growth. Numerous dendrochronological …

The long tradition of dendroclimatological studies in Fennoscandia is fostered by the
exceptional longevity and temperature sensitivity of tree growth, as well as the existence of …

Wildfires are the main disturbance of boreal ecosystems, one of the largest reservoirs of
terrestrial carbon. Two-thirds of boreal forests are in Siberia, where peatlands commonly …

Coastal sand dunes near the Baltic Sea are a dynamic environment marking the boundary
between land and sea and oftentimes covered by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests …

After a decades-long increasing trend, the recent results of the National Forest Inventory
(NFI) reported a decline of forest growth in North Finland. The aim of this study was to …

Due to the scarcity of reliable palaeoecological and climatic proxy records from the Eastern
Baltic covering the Holocene, there has been increased interest for multi-proxy studies in the …

Cultivated Land Balance Policy (CLBP) has led to the “better land occupied and worse land
supplemented” program. At the same time, the current field-scale cultivated land quality …
