DOI: 10.1002/2016jg003627
Abstract: Northern boreal forests are sensitive to many effects of global change. This is of particular concern due to the proportionally greater climate change projected for the area in which these forests occur. One of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11625
Abstract: Abstract Moose (Alces alces) in the boreal forest habitats of Alaska are unlike other northern ungulates because they tolerate high densities of flies (Diptera) even though flies cause wounds and infections during the warm summer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9327
Abstract: Abstract Knowledge of the temporal variation in reproductive success and its key driving factors is crucial in predicting animal population persistence. Few studies have examined the effects of a range of explanatory factors operating simultaneously… read more here.

Seasonal and annual dynamics of western Canadian boreal forest plant communities: A legacy data set spanning four decades
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3805
Abstract: Abstract As boreal forests rapidly warm due to anthropogenic climate change, long‐term baseline community data are needed to effectively characterize the corresponding ecological changes that are occurring in these forests. The combined seasonal dynamics (SEADYN)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-024-05626-8
Abstract: The distribution of species in a patchy habitat may be influenced by competitive interactions. The dominant and highly competitive boreal ant species belong to the Formica rufa group. A pair of species, Formica aquilonia and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0149-5
Abstract: The boreal ecoregion supports about one-third of the world’s forest. Over 90% of boreal forest streams are found in headwaters, where terrestrial–aquatic interfaces are dominated by organic matter (OM)-rich riparian zones (RZs). Because these transition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-021-00666-0
Abstract: Wildfire disturbance is important for tree regeneration in boreal ecosystems. A considerable amount of literature has been published on how wildfires affect boreal forest regeneration. However, we lack understanding about how soil-mediated effects of fire… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-024-01747-0
Abstract: Forestry is often directed towards conflicting targets. In Finland, forest policy has aimed to extract as much timber as possible while ensuring continued future harvesting opportunities. Concurrently, there is a social demand for biodiversity and… read more here.
