Traditional use of medicinal plants in the boreal forest of Canada: review and perspectives [PDF]
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2012 Background The boreal forest of Canada is home to several hundred thousands Aboriginal people who have been using medicinal plants in traditional health care systems for thousands of years. This knowledge, transmitted by oral tradition from generation to

COMBINING YOLO V5 AND TRANSFER LEARNING FOR SMOKE-BASED WILDFIRE DETECTION IN BOREAL FORESTS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 Wildfires present severe threats to various aspects of ecosystems, human settlements, and the environment. Early detection plays a critical role in minimizing the destructive consequences of wildfires.

Boreal forest fire emissions in fresh Canadian smoke plumes: C_1-C_(10) volatile organic compounds (VOCs), CO_2, CO, NO_2, NO, HCN and CH_3CN [PDF]
, 2011 Boreal regions comprise about 17% of the global land area, and they both affect and are influenced by climate change. To better understand boreal forest fire emissions and plume evolution, 947 whole air samples were collected aboard the NASA DC-8 ...

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

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 (NCD) in low-level stratiform clouds over the boreal forest are estimated from MODIS observations of cloud optical and microphysical properties, using a sub-adiabatic cloud model to interpret ...
