Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

Using LiDAR to quantify, map, and conserve late‐successional and old‐growth forest in Maine, USA
Abstract The world continues to lose late‐successional and old‐growth (LSOG) forest as the human population and demand for wood fiber grow. However, older forest age classes provide structural and compositional characteristics important to biodiversity that are often not present in forests managed for timber.

A new mass and energy balance for intercepted snow more accurately represented observations of subcanopy snow water equivalent and canopy intercepted snow load compared to an existing approach. The new CanSnow model also revealed how intercepted snowfall is partitioned between throughfall, sublimation, drip and unloading to the forest floor at two ...

Simulated Impacts of the 2023 Megadrought on Black Spruce Potential Productivity Across Canada
Abstract Black spruce (Picea mariana) is a dominant tree species across the Canadian boreal forest and a key contributor to national carbon dynamics. However, its growth and stand productivity are increasingly threatened by intensifying droughts, rising temperatures, and associated disturbances such as wildfire. In this study, we used the process‐based
