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.

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.

Traditional use of medicinal plants in the boreal forest of Canada: review and perspectives

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

A pioneering pest: the winter moth (Operophtera brumata) is expanding its outbreak range into Low Arctic shrub tundra

Arctic Science, 2022
Climate warming allows generalist boreal consumers to expand into Arctic ecosystems. We present experimental and observational field data showing that a generalist boreal insect pest—the winter moth (Operophtera brumata Linnaeus, 1758)—is expanding its ...

Short‐term survival and growth of 32 native boreal plants on treated oil sands tailings

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
The consolidation of oil sands tailings is a cost‐ and time‐consuming process that requires treatment via active (e.g., centrifugation) and passive (e.g., self‐weight consolidation) methods.

Contrasting foliar nitrogen nutrition of coexisting temperate and boreal trees across a modest temperature cline

Fundamental Research
The temperate-boreal forest ecotone represents a transition zone from temperate to boreal forest where nitrogen (N) is frequently limiting tree growth.

Domain Engineering and Anisotropic Domain‐Wall Photovoltaic Effects in Ferroelectric SnS

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The bulk photovoltaic effect at domain walls in the in‐plane ferroelectric 2D semiconductor SnS is investigated using periodic domain structures. Unlike conventional oxide ferroelectrics, domain walls of SnS do not contribute to photocurrent generation perpendicular to the domain walls.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Northward shift of boreal tree cover confirmed by satellite record [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The boreal forest has experienced the fastest warming of any forested biome in recent decades. While vegetation–climate models predict a northward migration of boreal tree cover, the long-term studies required to test the hypothesis have been confined to
