Our study shows that in boreal forests, herbivory cooling power is highly context銉緀pendent, and in order to understand its potential to prevent changes induced by warming climate, species differences, snow, competition, and climate effects on browsing need to be considered....
boreal forests, forest fires, production, ecosystems, russian federationBoreal and Taiga forests in Russia play an important role in carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems. In this region, forest fires often occur, which affect considerably carbon cycling in the Taiga ecosystems. We estimated the ...
Globally, ecosystems highly affected by human land-use decisions contain at least 260 Gt of irrecoverable carbon, with particularly high densities in peatlands, mangroves, old-growth forests and marshes. To achieve climate goals, we must safeguard these irrecoverable carbon pools through an expanded ...
vulnerability, we quantified average carbon losses from biomass and soils due to the most common anthropogenic disturbances: conversion to agriculture in grasslands, wetlands and tropical forests; forestry in boreal and temperate forests; and aquaculture or built infrastructure in coastal ecosystems10,11,...

North America encompasses a wide range of climate and ecosystems types including Arctic tundra in northern Canada and Alaska, boreal forest, the Canadian prairies and American plains, temperate forests in eastern and western Canada and the United States, arid and semi-arid regions of the south-west...
Moose (Alces alces) play a major role in the dynamics of boreal forest ecosystems and are an important resource for subsistence users. Fire is a major disturbance of boreal forests in interior Alaska, but how the age and juxtaposition of fires affects the density and distribution of moose on ...
