%0 Research note %T Climatic adaptation of seed maturity in Scots pine and Norway spruce populations %A Fedorkov, Aleksei %D 2001 %J Silva Fennica %V 35 %N 1 %R doi:10.14214/sf.609 %U https://silvafennica.fi/article/609 %X Seed maturation of Scots pine and Norway spruce in a provenance experiment at Kortkeros (northern Russia) was examined by the X-ray method. Logarithmic relationships were found between seed anatomy development and long-term average thermal sum. Seed development in the northern populations of Scots pine and Norway spruce was a little faster than in the southern ones.
