Short summary
By studying tree-rings and climatic data throughout Sweden, we have found that tree-growth in warm areas is more negatively affected by increasing temperature than tree-growth in cold areas. We also found that soil moisture has a very small effect when it comes to mitigating the negative effect of increasing temperature. These findings suggest that tree-growth responses to a changing climate will likely vary with the local climate but not so much with differences in soil moisture.
