However, for other wildland regions that are less affected by human activity, anthropogenic climate change still exerts predominant impacts on fire by increasing lightning ignitions in boreal forest12 and permafrost13 regions, and modulating either fuel availability in resource-limited fire regimes (e....
. Among them, disturbance severity has been shown to strongly influence seedling recruitment (Turner et al.1999,2003; Jayen et al.2006; Maia et al.2012; Hollingsworth et al.2013). In particular, fire can produce different impacts on the below- and above-ground components of forest ecosystems...
This study investigates the spatial mosaic of stand ages produced by high-intensity stand-replacing fires in the mixed-wood boreal forest of western Canada. A high-resolution, accurately dated, time-since-fire map for a large (3461 km(2)) contiguous area is used to produce the landscape ...
The Sub-Boreal Forest Region is the northernmost of these bands. It is only a small and discontinuous part of the United States, representing the tattered southern fringe of the vast Canadian taiga—a scrubby forest dominated by evergreen needle-leaf species that can endure the ferocious winters...
Forests have a lower albedo (that is, they appear darker), which causes them to absorb more of the Sun’s energy than their surroundings1,4. Forest canopies also provide a rougher surface8, thus promoting an efficient exchange of heat, moisture and momentum between the land surface and the...
Forest biological disturbance agents (BDAs) are insects, pathogens, and parasitic plants that affect tree decline, mortality, and forest ecosystems processes. BDAs are commonly thought to increase the likelihood and severity of fire by converting live standing trees to more flammable, dead and downed...
Across the boreal forest, fire is the main disturbance factor and driver of ecosystem changes. In this study, we reconstructed a long-term, spatially expli... S Payette,L Filion,A Delwaide - 《Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci》 被引量: 144发表: 2008年 Landscape function and disturb...
Prevalence of “fire weather”—a function of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed—may be ENSO-modulated (Mason et al., 2017; Shen et al., 2019), but aside from fuel-limited drylands, and accounting for variable forest-management practices, burned area is expected to ...
This version of GFED includes updated fire severity estimates for boreal regions, fuel consumption for areas that frequently burn, and emissions factors for temperate and boreal areas. GFED was developed primarily for global studies of climate and fire interactions, reflected by GFED’s large spatial...
