Boreal forests play a critical role in global climate via important biophysical and
biogeochemical feedbacks. Large-scale disturbances, particularly fire and harvesting …

This open access book explores a new conceptual framework for the sustainable
management of the boreal forest in the face of climate change. The boreal forest is the …

The boreal forest is an important global carbon sink, but its response to drought remains
uncertain. Here, we compiled biometric-and chamber-based flux data from 50 boreal forest …

Boreal forests are under strong influences from climate change, and alterations in forest
dynamics will have significant impacts on global climate-biosphere feedback as well as local …

Because of the key role played by fire in structuring boreal forest ecosystems, interactions
between vegetation and fire regime may be an important and dynamic control of forest …

Boreal forests represent an important carbon sink and, therefore, significantly contribute to
climate change mitigation. Tree-ring width series of boreal species reflect climate variation at …

The southern portions of the boreal region across Canada are dominated by boreal
mixedwoods forests, which are characterized by varying canopy dominance of boreal …

Boreal forests represent a biome of the planet whose unique characteristics are changing
rapidly under the influence of both human and natural pressures. These forests hold the key …

Boreal forest fire regime, which encompasses fire intensity, frequency, seasonality, size, type
(crown versus surface), and severity (depth of burn), is an organizing factor of boreal forest …

Forest harvesting and fire are major disturbances in boreal forests. Forest harvesting has
modified stand successional pathways, which has led to compositional changes from the …
