Vilken klimatskillnad gynnar många lövträd i södra Sverige jämfört med norra Sverige?

Which climate difference favours many broadleaved trees in southern Sweden compared with northern Sweden?

✓Klimatet är mildare i söderThe climate is milder in the south

3Snötäcket ligger kvar längre på vårenSnow cover lasts longer into spring

Correct answer: The climate is milder in the south

The milder southern climate suits more broadleaved trees. Conifers dominate the colder north, though broadleaved trees grow there too.

Sommardagarna har fler timmar med dagsljus

Summer days are longer in the north, but warmth during the growing season favours more broadleaved trees in the south.

Snötäcket ligger kvar längre på våren

Long-lasting snow cover is more typical of the north and shortens the growing season.

Temperaturskillnaden mellan årstiderna är större

Larger seasonal temperature differences do not automatically favour broadleaved trees; the milder climate is the key here.
