Immerse yourself in Scotland’s wild highland landscape and meet its long-lived forest keeper, a magnificent Scots pine tree.

Scientists studying pine trees and juniper shrubs in northern Scandinavia are revealing the weather of the past by looking at tree rings — which can tell us far more than just the trees’ age. ‘Blue’ ...

Shrubs seem to be more adapted to cooling events than trees, which is probably why shrubs are found further north. That is why I love to study shrubs; they seem to be the true heroes of the north.” ...

At that time, scientists observed that Scots pine trees that had stood for around 100 years were declining and dying. They wondered whether drought or other climate factors were driving this loss.

The scientists sampled cores from 25 Scots pine trees and stem-base disks from 54 common juniper shrubs at a site high on the treeline of Mount Iškoras in northern Norway. The team cross ...
