DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.107936
Abstract: Abstract High latitude boreal forests are experiencing dramatic changes in climate and hydrology. It is not clear how boreal forests will adapt to hydrological change or how stable they will be to extreme climate fluctuations… read more here.

Tamm Review: On the nature of the nitrogen limitation to plant growth in Fennoscandian boreal forests

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.04.045
Abstract: Abstract The supply of nitrogen commonly limits plant production in boreal forests and also affects species composition and ecosystem functions other than plant growth. These interrelations vary across the landscapes, with the highest N availability,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117818
Abstract: Abstract Natural cavities are a critical resource for non-excavating hole-nesting birds, many of which are declining in northern Europe. In the heavily managed boreal forests in Finland, cavities may be a scarce resource, but their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lgrs.2021.3112387
Abstract: Circumboreal forests are currently experiencing rapid climate warming which is altering their structure, productivity, and status as a carbon sink. Very high-resolution (VHR; < 2 m) stereo-derived digital surface models are available to monitor these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15813
Abstract: Forest growth in most parts of the boreal zone is originally limited by low temperatures and low nitrogen availability. Due to the rapid climate warming at high latitudes, an increasing forest area is switching to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16534
Abstract: Boreal forests are important global carbon (C) sinks and, therefore, considered as a key element in climate change mitigation policies. However, their actual C sink strength is uncertain and under debate, particularly for the actively… read more here.
