Abstract
When solving the problem of the relationship between landscape space and landscape time, we often use the relationships between tree growth and climatic parameters to indicate changes in landscape functioning. The article analyzes the influence of climatic factors during recent 140 years on the growth of Siberian stone pine (Pinus sibirica) on frost mounds in the north of Western Siberia within bog landscapes of the northern taiga subzone. Dendrochronologies were constructed for 47 sampling sites located on various types of frost mounds. It was found that most of dendrochronologies correlate with each other, although the mounds are significantly different. Sampling sites adjacent to thermokarst sinkholes are the least consistent with the modal dendrochronology. It was found that there is no reliable relationship between mean annual temperatures and tree growth; the most considerable tree growth is observed in years with high May air temperatures. The ideal conditions for tree growth are cold winters with little snow and warm and humid summers. It was found that during periods with abnormally high air temperatures tree growth decreases. It happens due to the degradation of permafrost mounds and the increasingly thicker seasonally thawed layer. So the depth of soil water decreases, and the upper soil horizon dries up.
