Book excerpt: The Nordic subarctic-subalpine birch forest belt is unique to Fennoscandia, the Kola Peninsula, Iceland and southern Greenland. The area is characterized by extensive multiple use, including reindeer husbandry, forest and tourist industries and hunting and fishing. Scientifically, the mountain birch has been of special interest from a genetic and ecological angle, including the use of experimental approaches to assess the effects of phylogenesis and environment on biological performance. Such approaches lie at the core of the studies in this volume.
