Short summary
As the Boreal climate shifts towards warmer temperatures and more unpredictable precipitation patterns, forest management needs to become more efficient and climate-friendly. We monitored a managed Finnish spruce forest on peat soil for two summer seasons characterized with severe drought episodes. A wide range of data was used, including carbon dioxide exchange, evapotranspiration, tree growth, meteorology and maps of tree health obtained by drone imaging. Clear, but complex forest responses to drought were revealed.
