This paper addresses the impacts of climate change on forest fires and describes how this,
in turn, will impact on the forests of the United States. In addition to reviewing existing …

This literature review concerns insect responses to fire, compared to other feasible and
appropriate conservation managements of open habitats. Many insect groups decline …

While most efforts at biodiversity conservation have focused primarily on protected areas
and reserves, the unprotected lands surrounding those area—the" matrix"—are equally …

Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Étant donné l'augmentation globale des stress dans les forêts, plusieurs écologistes croient
que les gestionnaires doivent maintenir la résilience écologique, c'est-à-dire la capacité des …

Les forêts mixtes boréales (BMWs) sont les écosystèmes forestiers les plus productifs et les
plus diversifiés des forêts boréales nord-américaines. Une bonne compréhension de la …

Salvage logging—removing trees from a forested area in the wake of a catastrophic event
such as a wildfire or hurricane—is highly controversial. Policymakers and those with an …

Given that fire is the most important disturbance of the boreal forest, climatically induced
changes in fire frequency (ie, area burnt per year) can have important consequences on the …

Forest ecosystem management, based partly on a greater understanding of natural
disturbance regimes, has many variations but is generally considered the most promising …

Summary 1 Studies on the variability of natural fire regimes are needed to understand plant
responses in a changing environment. Since vegetation changes might follow or trigger …
