The vast expanse of the boreal forest in Canada is home to a diversity of wide-ranging animals, from migratory land birds and waterfowl to the largest caribou herds in the world. Boreal ecosystems are likely to experience dramatic changes in this century, particularly through anticipated alteration...

carbon in trees, soil and peat than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Within Canada, the boreal forest region covers more than 290 million hectares. Ontario’s portion of the boreal forest extends from the northern limits of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest to the Hudson Bay Lowlands. With ...
Canada's managed boreal forest, 54% of the nation's total boreal forest area, stores 28 Pg carbon (C) in biomass, dead organic matter, and soil pools. The net C balance is dominated by the difference of two large continuous fluxes: C uptake (net primary production) and release during ...
Rising atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) associated with climate change affects boreal forest growth via stomatal closure and soil dryness. However, the relationship between VPD and forest growth depends on the climatic context. Here we assess Ca
In contrast, the forest contraction along the southern distribution boundary may be relatively fast as increasingly hotter and drier growing conditions and intensifying disturbance regimes accelerate tree mortality events. This asymmetry of slow boreal forest expansion in the north and faster boreal forest...
