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

open access: yes, 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 ...

The Browning of Alaska’s Boreal Forest [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2010
We used twelve Landsat scenes from the 1980s–2009 and regional 2000–2009 MODIS data to examine the long-term trend in the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) within unburned areas of the Alaskan boreal forest. Our analysis shows that there has been a declining trend in NDVI in this region, with the strongest “browning trend” occurring in ...

Occurrence patterns of dead wood and wood-dependent lichens in managed boreal forest landscapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dead wood is a key resource for biodiversity, on which thousands of forest organisms are dependent. Because of current forest management, there has been a large-scale change in dead wood amounts and qualities, and consequently, many wood-dependent ...

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

open access: yesSilva 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.

Simulation of Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics in Postfire Boreal Forests of China by Incorporating High-Resolution Remote Sensing Data and Field Measurement

open access: yesFire, 2023
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of the ecosystem carbon pool, and fire is one of the important disturbances in forest ecosystems. With global warming, there has been a gradual increase in boreal forest fires, which has a nonnegligible

Mapping of intact forest landscapes in Sweden according to Global forest watch methodology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Currently, most of the world’s forests are directly or indirectly affected by some kind of human activity. More people are getting concerned with the state of tropical forests.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesForest 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.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Spatial tree community structure in three stands across a forest succession gradient in northern boreal Fennoscandia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Development of species composition during succession is well studied in natural boreal forests, but empirical assessments of how within-stand spatial structure develops in late-successional stages are few.
