Given its global importance, there is a need to map and monitor the boreal zone, and as the changes occur on all from local, regional to global scales, fine resolution information over vast areas is required. The Global Boreal Forest Mapping (GBFM) project is an international collaborative ...

Resilience further declined both before and after forest losses and fires, especially in southern boreal forests. These findings indicate that warming and disturbance have been altering vegetation resilience, potentially undermining the expected long-term increase of high-latitude carbon uptake under future...
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

Forest management of areas under timber logging in Canada have to ensure forest regeneration through either natural regeneration or active planting of tree seedlings. Hereby, replanting pre-determines the recovery of forests after logging and therefore may have affected the dynamics in tree cover change...
4), but these sites were relatively small and surrounded by other habitats, such as forests (see the map; Fig. 1). Forest edges can act as microhabitats and thus become crucial for foraging and movement between daytime roosts and food and water acquisition sites (Jantzen and Fenton 2013)....
Tree species diversity is essential to sustaining stable forest ecosystem functioning. However, it remains unclear how boreal tree species diversity has changed in response to climate change and how it is associated with productivity and the temporal sta
Forest gains and losses may have unequal effects on forest resilience, particularly given their distinct temporal dynamics. Here, we quantify the sensitivities of boreal forest resilience to forest cover gain and loss using a resilience indicator derived from the temporal autocorrelation (TAC) of the ...
The boreal ecoregion supports about one-third of the world’s forest. Over 90% of boreal forest streams are found in headwaters, where terrestrialR
