Increasing radial and latewood growth rates of Larix cajanderi Mayr. and Pinus sylvestris L. in the continuous permafrost zone in Central Yakutia (Russia)

Key message Annual radial growth and latewood formation increase during the period 1966–2015 in Larix cajanderi Mayr. and Pinus sylvestris L. along a latitudinal gradient on Siberian permafrost. Warmer temperatures and precipitation at the onset of the growth season favor growth in both species.
