Abstract
Model computations for Finland showed that the rising temperature associated with climatic change could increase the yield of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris), Pendula birch ( Betula pendula) and Pubescent birch ( Betula pubescent). The yield of these species increased more in northern (66°N) than in southern Finland (62°N), the former site representing southern boreal the latter northern boreal conditions. The productivity of Norway spruce ( Picea abies) decreased in southern Finland, but increased substantially in northern Finland. The temperature rise associated with climatic change could increase the productivity of the forest ecosystems in northern Finland close to that currently prevailing in southern Finland.
