Therefore, it presents an opportunity for deducing physical relations which could partly eliminate the need for supporting ALS applications with field plot data for training and modelling, at least in Boreal forest ecosystems.ValbuenaRubén1Maltamo...
Juncosmay be familiar backyard feeder birds in winter, with their grey plumage and the white flashes of their tails, but as soon as spring comes, they vanish, headed to the boreal forest where the majority of them breed. Lincoln’s Sparrowalso depends on the boreal forest, but inhabit the ...
Fig. 5: Partial-dependence plots showing the marginal effects environmental, forest structure and tree species features have on the predicted sensitivity of growth to VPD across Canada’s boreal forest. The partial dependence functions were developed using a random forest algorithm and illustrated whethe...
Forest deadwood is an important carbon reserve, estimated to contain 8% of the total forest carbon. This type of woody debris is recognized as a source of carbon dioxide (CO2), as the carbon is released back into the atmosphere by microbial decomposition. Production of methane (CH4) and nitr...
boreal forest with continuous severe heat or moisture deficits18,20,23. By contrast, our more temporally-flexible and physiologically-relevant T-linked method revealed a much more widespread and universal growth response to temperature across the Eurasian boreal larch forest. We suspect that the ...
Fire is the most important natural disturbance in boreal forests (de Groot et al., 2013a), making the entire boreal biome a complex mosaic of postfire forest successional stages. Boreal forests are mainly spruce (Picea spp.)-, larch (Larix spp.)- and pine (Pinus spp.)-dominated. Extensiv...
In the present paper, we introduce a high-resolution spatiotemporal point cloud time series, acquired using a LiDAR sensor mounted 30 metres above ground on a flux observation tower monitoring a boreal forest. The dataset comprises a 18-month long (April 2020 - September 2021) time series with...
We will discuss the physical processes that affect near-surface climate over the boreal forest, using analyses from the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). The boreal forest is marked by a very large seasonal cycle with below freezing temperatures for half the year. Consequently, water is...

boreal forest. Other geographical areas, including elsewhere in the boreal ecoregion and catchments with peat or till soils, are also considered as several RZ features and functions are general and widespread. The spatial scale we focus on includes small to medium size catchments (that is, ...
