In this study we examined the charcoal content of soils across a 14-208-year post-fire chronosequence in the southern boreal forest of North America, and compared wildfire derived charcoal to laboratory produced charcoal. Charcoal stocks averaged 4.09 Mg ha(-1) representing 2.19 Mg C ha(-1);...
Both approaches revealed an asymmetry in tree cover changes at the northern and southern boreal forests in North America (Fig. 2). Our analysis of ~13,000 sample plots along south-north transects across the North American boreal region (see Methods) showed that across the North American boreal...

Overnight fires are emerging in North America with previously unknown drivers and implications. This notable phenomenon challenges the traditional understanding of the ‘active day, quiet night’ model of the diurnal fire cycle1,2,3 and current fire management practices4,5. Here we demonstrate that...

What do the landscape painters of Canada and northern Europe have in common? Their muse is thetaiga, or boreal forest: a massive ring of mostly coniferous trees that stretches across the Northern Hemisphere. In the late 19th century, Swedish artistGustaf F...

It has a great quantity of Mediterranean resources; it is reminiscent of the Boreal Forest. It is the most populated area, and although no agriculture existed, there were a great deal of resources. They were excellent in basket making, as they did not know other things. Interior plateau, ...
In Canada, where the majority of forested area is Boreal forest, 2.1 Mha burns annually on average; In the United States, the average area burned since 2000 has been 2.8 Mha, although this figure is increasing, predominantly driven by increased fire activity in the western US in recent years...
