Abstract Purpose of Review Despite covering only 3% of the land surface, peatlands
represent the largest terrestrial organic carbon stock on the planet and continue to act as a …

Boreal peatlands store a disproportionately large quantity of soil carbon (C) and play a
critical role within the global C-climate system; however, with climatic warming, these C …

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 …

Despite increasing concern about wildland fire risk in Canada, there is little synthesis of
knowledge that could contribute to the development of a comprehensive risk framework for a …

Wildfires in boreal forests release large quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,
exacerbating climate change. Here, we characterize the magnitude of recent and projected …

Boreal peatlands provide critical global and regional ecosystem functions including climate
regulation and nutrient and water retention. Wildfire represents the largest disturbance to …

Stand-level fuel reduction treatments in the Canadian boreal zone are used predominantly
in community protection settings to alter the natural structure of dominant boreal conifer …

Climate change and forest management practices influence forest productivity and carbon
budgets, and understanding their interactions is necessary to develop accurate predictions …

A 3.6 ha experimental fire was conducted in a black spruce peatland forest that had
undergone thinning the year prior. After 50 m of spread in a natural stand at 35–60 m min …

Seismic lines are cleared corridors for the location mapping of subsurface bitumen. After
use, the lines can be left to regenerate naturally with varying success. Wildfires, another …
