Abstract
A VALUABLE Report on this subject has been prepared by Dr. H. E. Hamberg, and printed as an appendix to the Report of the Forest Commissioners of Sweden for the year 1885. The observations were commenced in 1876, on the principles established by Dr. Ebermayer in Bavaria, but Dr. Hamberg soon found that the mere comparison of the results obtained at the forest station with those yielded by its sister station in the open country was insufficient to bring out all the peculiarities of forest influence, and accordingly he added a third class of station, situated in a clearing in the forest itself (öpppen plats i skogen). The various results of these observations are discussed in a very exhaustive manner, and we must refer those interested in the subject to the Report itself. The author's conclusions, however, are very interesting, and are reproduced here in full.
