Forest succession is a dynamic process of progressive compositional development of
ecological communities of species following natural or anthropogenic disturbance. Despite a …

We reviewed the published knowledge on forest succession in the North American boreal
biome for its applicability in modelling forest cover change over large extents. At broader …

Sustainable forest management that employs the emulation of natural disturbance paradigm
develops plans based on disturbance-driven forest succession. However, most research on …

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 …

Stand structure, the arrangement and interrelationships of live and dead trees, has been
linked to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat, and climate regulation. The …

An overview of the literature on succession theory, patterns and processes in North
American boreal forest ecosystems is presented, incorporating data that we have recently …

Old-growth forests are often perceived as cathedral-like stands of large trees in coastal
coniferous forests or eastern hardwoods. In most of the boreal region, however, this is not …

Abstract Most North American forests are at some stage of post‐disturbance regrowth,
subject to a changing climate, and exhibit growth and mortality patterns that may not be …

In this review, we focus on the biotic parameters that are crucial to an understanding of the
recruitment dynamics of North American boreal tree species following natural (fire, budworm …

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