Fire is a powerful ecological and evolutionary force that regulates organismal traits,
population sizes, species interactions, community composition, carbon and nutrient cycling …

Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

The boreal forest biome is a major component of Earth's biosphere and climate system that
is projected to shift northward due to continued climate change over the coming century …

Deciduous tree cover is expected to increase in North American boreal forests with climate
warming and wildfire. This shift in composition has the potential to generate biophysical …

To assess the impacts of climate change on vegetation from stand to global scales, models
of forest dynamics that include tree demography are needed. Such models are now …

Abstract Ecosystems in the North American Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) experience a diverse
set of disturbances associated with wildfire, permafrost dynamics, geomorphic processes …

In recent years, the pan-Arctic region has experienced increasingly extreme fire seasons.
Fires in the northern high latitudes are driven by current and future climate change, lightning …

Many disturbances are shifting in severity, frequency, and extent due to changing climate
and human activities. Altered disturbance regimes can trigger shifts in ecosystem state …

Wildfire activity in Arctic and boreal regions is rapidly increasing, with severe consequences
for climate and human health. Regional long-term variations in fire frequency and intensity …

Background Mosses in high-latitude ecosystems harbor diverse bacterial taxa, including N 2-
fixers which are key contributors to nitrogen dynamics in these systems. Yet the relative …
