Questions remain about how a warming climate might affect those two ...
(26.6°C) all year long. However, there are also cooler rain forests, such as the one in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. The largest rain forest in the world is the one located in the Amazon River basin in South America. Rain forests are extremely important...
(2): 622-642) on the carbon source and sink distribution in Canada's forests using Canada-wide data from remote sensing, forest inventory, large fire polygons for the last 50 years, soil texture and carbon data, nitrogen deposition measurements in 29 locations, and monthly gridded climate ...
In order to address these gaps, we studied the changes in forest conditions resulting from agricultural land use history in northern New Jersey, an 8080 km2 area in the mid-Atlantic region, documenting the spatial extent of primary and post-agricultural forest types in the broader landscape and ...
Ecosystem management based on large-scale disturbance pulses: A case study from sub-boreal forests of western Quebec (Canada) The northern Témiscamingue region (western Québec) sustained regional-scale pulses of natural disturbances during the 1850–2000 period, such as severe f... M Bouchard,D...
Climate change is expected to shift the boreal biome northward through expansion at the northern and contraction at the southern boundary respectively. However, biome-scale evidence of such a shift is rare. Here, we used remotely-sensed tree cover data t

Interior forests of northern British Columbia are boreal (Northern Cordillera Forests ecoregion) and ...
Earth's boreal forests circle our planet's far northern reaches, just south of the Arctic's treeless tundra. If the planet wears an Arctic ice cap, then the boreal forests are a loose-knit headband wrapped around its ears, covering large portions of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and Siberia....
