Young and old forest in the boreal: critical stages of ecosystem dynamics and management under global change [PDF]
Forest Ecosystems, 2018 The circumboreal forest encompasses diverse landscape structures, dynamics and forest age distributions determined by their physical setting, and historical and current disturbance regimes.

Remote Sensing, 2020 Boreal forest is a sensitive indicator of the influence of climate change. It can quantify the level and spatial divergence of forest change for forest resources and carbon cycle research. This study selected a typical boreal forest affected by few human

Land, 2021 In addressing the current climate crisis, research into how past societies have coped with risk and ecological uncertainty can provide old solutions to new problems. Here, we examine how human niche construction can be seen as risk management in the face

Boreal forest biomass classification with TanDEM-X [PDF]
, 2012 High spatial resolution X-band interferometric SAR data from the TanDEM-X, in the operational DEM generation mode, are sensitive to forest structure and can therefore be used for thematic boreal forest classification of forest environments.

Patterns of regional site index across a North American boreal forest gradient
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Forest structure—the height, cover, vertical complexity, and spatial patterns of trees—is a key indicator of productivity variation across forested extents. During the 2017 and 2019 growing seasons, NASA’s Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment collected

Forest disturbance by an ecosystem engineer: beaver in boreal forest landscapes [PDF]
, 2013 Natural disturbances are important for forest ecosystem dynamics and maintenance of biodiversity. In the boreal forest, large-scale disturbances such as wildfires and windstorms have been emphasized, while disturbance agents acting at smaller scales have

Modeling the effects of organic nitrogen uptake by plants on the carbon cycling of boreal forest and tundra ecosystems [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Boreal forest and tundra are the major ecosystems in the northern high latitudes in which a large amount of carbon is stored. These ecosystems are nitrogen-limited due to slow mineralization rate of the soil organic nitrogen.

Estimating seasonal variations in cloud droplet number concentration over the boreal forest from satellite observations [PDF]
, 2011 Seasonal variations in cloud droplet number concentration (<i>N</i><sub>CD</sub>) in low-level stratiform clouds over the boreal forest are estimated from MODIS observations of cloud optical and microphysical properties, using a ...
