Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Can Siberian alder N-fixation offset N-loss after severe fire? Quantifying post-fire Siberian alder distribution, growth, and N-fixation in boreal Alaska.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Fire severity affects both ecosystem N-loss and post-fire N-balance. Climate change is altering the fire regime of interior Alaska, although the effects on Siberian alder (Alnus viridis ssp.

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

Was black spruce a good host of the spruce budworm in warmer periods of the Holocene? a long-term reconstruction

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Understanding the historical variability in the disturbance dynamics of the most important defoliator in eastern Canada, the spruce budworm (SBW), throughout its range will be paramount in anticipating potential changes associated with current climate ...

Driving factors of conifer regeneration dynamics in eastern Canadian boreal old-growth forests.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Old-growth forests play a major role in conserving biodiversity, protecting water resources, and sequestrating carbon, as well as serving as indispensable resources for indigenous societies.

Assessing Soil-Related Black Spruce and White Spruce Plantation Productivity

Open Journal of Forestry, 2017
This article focuses on modelling and mapping the productivity of black (Picea mariana) and white spruce (Picea glauca) plantations across the Black Brook forest management area in northwestern New Brunswick, Canada, encompassing about 200,000 ha. This effort involved establishing 3500 50 m2 survey plots, each informing about: plantation age (15 to 43 ...

Generality of black spruce biomass estimation equations

, 1984
We developed a set of equations to estimate biomass of black spruce (Piceamariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), based on data from trees from bogs in Minnesota. The equation for total biomass, based on diameter alone, was similar to most other equations for black ...
