| Zusammenfassung |
| Fennoscandia has a strong tradition in dendrochronology, and its large tracts
of boreal forest make the region well suited for the development of tree-ring
chronologies that extend back several thousands of years. Two of the world's
longest continuous (most tree-ring chronologies are annually resolved)
tree-ring width chronologies are found in northern Fennoscandia, with records
from Torneträsk and Finnish Lapland covering the last ca. 7500 yr. In
addition, several chronologies between coastal Norway and the interior of
Finland extend back several centuries. Tree-ring data from Fennoscandia have
provided important information on regional climate variability during the mid
to late Holocene and have played major roles in the reconstruction of
hemispheric and global temperatures. Tree-ring data from the region have also
been used to reconstruct large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns,
regional precipitation and drought. Such information is imperative when
trying to reach better understanding of natural climate change and
variability and its forcing mechanisms, and placing recent climate change
within a long-term context. |
