NOAA‐AVHRR images were used to map pre‐fire conditions over Canadian northern boreal forests. Daily mean surface and air temperature, normalized difference vegetation index and fire weather index values were analysed for burned and unburned areas. Prior to fire ignitions, it was hypothesized that...

Northern forests play a key role in carbon and water cycles, and influence climate forcings and feedbacks1,2,3. Northern latitudes will be disproportionately affected by climate change, and reports of boreal forest decline4,5,6,7are beginning to replace earlier optimism of benefits due to warmi...
S3) and is located inside the temperate broadleaf/mixed forest and boreal forest/taiga biomes55. We studied 1749 protected areas, or 72% of the 2439 protected areas found in Quebec. Quebec protected areas located totally or partially outside the study area (n = 148) and marine/coastal...

High-latitude ecosystems store nearly half the terrestrial C stocks1. The northern circumpolar permafrost region, which includes most of the tundra biome and a large fraction of the boreal forest biome2, represents only 15% of the Earth’s soil area but stores approximately one-third (approximatel...

With the gradual weakening of the intensity of monsoons from the southeast to the northwest, the MAT and MAP decrease from the southeast to the northwest. According to the current distributions of pastureland and farmland, the study region was divided into two subregions: marginal agricultural ...
