Natural fire regime: a guide for sustainable management of the Canadian boreal forest

Silva Fennica, 2002
The combination of certain features of fire disturbance, notably fire frequency, size and severity, may be used to characterize the disturbance regime in any region of the boreal forest.

A phytosociological survey of the boreal forest (Vaccinio-Piceetea) in North America [PDF]

, 1998
A survey of syntaxa of vegetation of North American boreal forests (class Vaccinio-Piceetea) is presented. This phytosociological survey, carried out combining the Braun-Blanquet method with numerical syntaxonomical analyses (cluster and correspondence

Evolution of Canada's Boreal Forest Spatial Patterns as Seen from Space.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding the development of landscape patterns over broad spatial and temporal scales is a major contribution to ecological sciences and is a critical area of research for forested land management.

Ecosystem management in paludified boreal forests: enhancing wood production, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration at the landscape level

Forest Ecosystems, 2018
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas dominated by forested peatlands.

Canopy uptake dominates nighttime carbonyl sulfide fluxes in a boreal forest [PDF]

, 2017
Nighttime vegetative uptake of carbonyl sulfide (COS) can exist due to the incomplete closure of stomata and the light independence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which complicates the use of COS as a tracer for gross primary productivity (GPP).

Variation in carbon storage and its distribution by stand age and forest type in boreal and temperate forests in northeastern China.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The northeastern forest region of China is an important component of total temperate and boreal forests in the northern hemisphere. But how carbon (C) pool size and distribution varies among tree, understory, forest floor and soil components, and across ...

Les réservoirs de carbone en forêt boréale à l’est du Canada : acquis et incertitudes dans la modélisation face aux changements climatiques

VertigO, 2012
Climate change is of major concern for forest managers. The boreal forest is becoming increasingly central to discussions on carbon cycling because of its capacity to compensate for anthropogenic carbon emission.

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]

, 1992
We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool

Bottom-up drivers of future fire regimes in western boreal North America

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Forest characteristics, structure, and dynamics within the North American boreal region are heavily influenced by wildfire intensity, severity, and frequency.

Boreal forest CO2 exchange and evapotranspiration predicted by nine ecosystem process models: Intermodel comparisons and relationships to field measurements [PDF]

, 2001
Nine ecosystem process models were used to predict CO2 and water vapor exchanges by a 150-year-old black spruce forest in central Canada during 1994–1996 to evaluate and improve the models.
