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...

The boreal forest of Canada is home to several hundred thousands Aboriginal people who have been using medicinal plants in traditional health care systems for thousands of years. This knowledge, transmitted by oral tradition from generation to generation, has been eroding in recent decades due to ra...
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
The boreal forest is vast. One of the largest ecosystems in the world, it encircles the globe’s northern reaches, from Europe to Russia to Canada.More than half of Ontario’s forest cover is boreal forest. The word “boreal” means northern, so climate is a big factor in how this ecos...
The Boreal Forest The boreal forest is a worldwide band of conifer-dominated forest that stretches across Scandinavia, Russia, Alaska and nort..
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...
Little attention has been given to changes in wood properties after isolated mortality events, which characterize the gap dynamics of several forest ecosystems. For the forest industry, dead and sound trees may represent a significant source of timber supply, but of potentially lower quality. The ma...
