Over a decade of sampling, measurement and cross-dating activities by a dozen dedicated field and laboratory workers have produced a unique national collection of ring-width data from living Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.).
They have also pioneered lake-bottom (subfossil) sampling in southern Finlandand built nearly 1750-year pine chronology for the south-eastern region. The map below shows the main sampling sites.

 
Numbers indicate the amount of the sampled trees. How to use grid map. Example: Herajärvi OLC2458A
