Millennial-Scale Disturbance History of the Boreal Zone
Long-term disturbance histories, reconstructed using diverse paleoecological tools, provide high-quality information about pre-observational periods....
-
Temporal changes in boreal vegetation under 70 years of conservation
Biodiversity conservation through protected areas (PAs) is often based on the idea that biodiversity is relatively static. This assumption is...

Carbon Stocks and Transfers in Coniferous Boreal Forests Along a Latitudinal Gradient
Carbon (C) sequestrated in the boreal forest ecosystems plays an important role in climate regulation. This study’s objectives were to quantify the...
-
Fire History and Long-Term Carbon Accumulation in Hemi-boreal Peatlands
Fire can play an important role in peatlands by modifying plant communities and carbon (C) stocks. However, baseline disturbance data on peatland...
-
Landscape regulation of microbial use of terrestrial carbon in boreal streams
Microbes decomposing leaf litter in aquatic ecosystems are exposed to two major sources of carbon (C), namely, particulate organic C (POC) and...

Using Camera Traps to estimate Habitat Preferences and Occupancy Patterns of Vertebrates in Boreal Wetlands
Wetlands are a critical habitat for boreal mammals and birds that rely on them for breeding, foraging, and resting. However, wetlands in boreal...

Enhancing Resilience of Boreal Forests Through Management Under Global Change: a Review
Purpose of ReviewBoreal forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services that are important to society. The boreal biome is experiencing the...
-
Shifts in Ecological Legacies Support Hysteresis of Stand Type Conversions in Boreal Forests
Many disturbances are shifting in severity, frequency, and extent due to changing climate and human activities. Altered disturbance regimes can...
-
Strategies for the Ecological Restoration of the Boreal Forest Facing Climate Change
The large-scale simplification of boreal forest ecosystem structure, composition, and processes to boost timber production, combined with the...

Conversion of boreal forests to agricultural systems: soil microbial responses along a land-conversion chronosequence
BackgroundBoreal regions are warming at more than double the global average, creating opportunities for the northward expansion of agriculture....
-
Ecological Restoration of the Boreal Forest in Fennoscandia
Mixed-severity disturbances have historically shaped boreal forests, creating a dynamic mosaic landscape. In Fennoscandia, however, intensive...
-
Management of Boreal Forests Theories and Applications for Ecosystem Services
This comprehensive textbook explores the boreal forests of Northern Europe, Finland, Sweden and Norway. Students will gain an overview of the forest...

Response of Boreal Plant Communities and Forest Floor Carbon Fluxes to Experimental Nutrient Additions
High-latitude warming is increasing soil temperatures and driving permafrost thaw, potentially altering soil nutrient conditions by enhancing...
-
Functional Traits of Boreal Species and Adaptation to Local Conditions
Species continuity under the harsh climatic conditions of the boreal forest requires trees to ensure the functioning of two main life processes,...
