North American boreal forests are a large carbon source due to wildfires from 1986 to 2016Wildfires are a major disturbance to forest carbon (C) balance through both immediate combustion emissions and post-fire ecosystem dynamics. Here we used a process-based biogeochemistry model, the Terrestrial ...
7). b Mapped tree cover changes across the entire North American boreal forest biome, extending 120 km around the boreal biome boundary (black solid line, based on Gauthier et al. 20155). The dashed line represents the halfway positions between the northern and southern boreal biome boundary...

Understanding drivers of boreal forest dynamics supports adaptation strategies in the context of climate change. Aims. We aimed to understand how burn rates varied since the early 1700s in North American boreal forests. Methods. We used 16 fire-history study sites distributed across such forests ...

An algorithm based on a Bayesian network classifier was adapted to produce 10-day burned area (BA) maps from the Long Term Data Record Version 3 (LTDR) at a spatial resolution of 0.05 degrees (approximate to 5 km) for the North American boreal region from 2001 to 2011. The modified algor...

The objective of this review was to synthesize the literature on C dynamics of North American boreal forests after most common disturbances, stand replacing wildfire and clearcut logging. Forest ecosystem C is stored in four major pools: live biomass, dead biomass, organic soil horizons, and ...
