We used bioproxies from paleosoils buried within two aeolian dunes to test hypotheses
concerning the origin of dry sandy boreal forests in Canada. These forests are dominated …

We analysed charcoal and pollen from sediments obtained from two lakes in the
northwestern mixed‐wood Canadian boreal forest in order to reconstruct fire‐return intervals …

Fire is considered as a major driver of ecosystem processes of the boreal forest with
important effects on soil and forest productivity. When the interval between successive forest …

We review aspects of the ecology, biogeography, and management history of boreal and
temperate forests with the aim of providing a basis for understanding their role as part of the …

A 7000-year record of local fire history was reconstructed from three ombrotrophic peatlands
in the James Bay lowlands (northwestern Québec, Canada) using a high-resolution analysis …

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 …

The boreal region is a northern, circumpolar forest belt covering 11% of the globe's
terrestrial surface (Bonan and Shugart, 1989). It includes a spectrum of forest vegetation …

Charcoal particles are widespread in terrestrial and lake environments of the northern
temperate and boreal biomes where they are used to reconstruct past fire events and …

The boreal forest represents almost 25% of the world's closed canopy forest (Atlas of
Canada, 2009). Occupying northern latitudes around the globe, this region is characterized …

Stretching in two broad transcontinental bands across Eurasia and North America, the
global boreal zone covers approximately 12 million square kilometres, two-thirds in Russia …
