Carbon storage dynamics and tree growth response to species diversity in boreal forests
(2018)
The boreal forest plays a critical role in regulating the global carbon (C) cycle. Both wildfire and harvesting affect ecosystem C. However, the long-term recovery of forest C storage with a diverse range of overstory ...
Patterns and mechanisms of understorey vegetation associated with stand development in boreal forests
(2018)
The understorey vegetation comprises the greatest plant diversity and contributes
substantially to ecosystem functioning and services in boreal forests. Although many studies
have examined patterns of understorey species ...
Trade-offs between economic gains and ecological functions following forest management alternatives in boreal forests
(2018)
Intensive forest management activities that maximize economic gains could negatively impact the long-term sustainability of ecological functions and associated ecosystem services. Understanding the trade-offs between ...
Past and future impacts of climate change on boreal forest timber supply
(2018)
The boreal forest is home to a thriving forest industry which requires stable, long term timber to remain viable. Anthropogenic climate change, caused by the release of greenhouse gasses, is occurring rapidly in northern ...
