Abstract
Fig. 1 shows the annual variations in the growth in diameter of pine (Pinus silvestris L.) near the timber line in the extreme north of Finland, at about lat. 69° 30–70° N. The diagram is based on two series of figures1: (a) represents the weighted average of 148 increment cores collected in July 1939 and 1940; (b) represents the average of 58 increment cores collected in July 1945.
