The boreal forests and climate
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1992AbstractThe sensitivity of modelled northern hemisphere climate to modification of the snow‐covered surface albedo is investigated using the United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) general circulation model (GCM). the UKMO GCM is a global, primitive‐equation model with 11 layers in the atmosphere.

The Deciduous Forest – Boreal Forest Ecotone
Geography Compass, 2010Abstract Ecotones have been subject to significant attention over the past 25 years as a consensus emerged that they might be uniquely sensitive to the effects of climate change. Most ecotone field studies and modeling efforts have focused on transitions between forest and non‐forest biomes (e.g. boreal forest to Arctic tundra, forest

Boreal forest health and global change
Science, 2015The boreal forest, one of the largest biomes on Earth, provides ecosystem services that benefit society at levels ranging from local to global. Currently, about two-thirds of the area covered by this biome is under some form of management, mostly for wood production.

Landscape ecology of boreal forests
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992It is becoming increasingly clear that densities and dynamics of various organisms often cannot be understood from the processes occurring within separate habitat patches. Effects from surrounding areas also have to be considered; a landscape perspective has to be employed.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the effects of temperature on the growth-dormancy cycling of boreal forest trees. It includes recent warming-induced changes in phenology and growth in trees, adaptation techniques in response to global warming, and temperature effects in the growing season (photosynthesis and morphology).

Alaska's Changing Boreal Forest
2006The boreal forest is the northern-most woodland biome, whose natural history is rooted in the influence of low temperature and high-latitude. Alaska's boreal forest is now warming as rapidly as the rest of Earth, providing an unprecedented look at how this cold-adapted, fire-prone forest adjusts to change. This volume synthesizes current understanding
