Over the past several decades, high-resolution sediment–charcoal records have been
increasingly used to reconstruct local fire history. Data analysis methods usually involve a …

Natural ecosystems have developed within ranges of conditions that can serve as
references for setting conservation targets or assessing the current ecological integrity of …

Strategic introduction of less flammable broadleaf vegetation into landscapes was
suggested as a management strategy for decreasing the risk of boreal wildfires projected …

Pollen-based paleoclimatic interpretations of late-glacial to early Holocene climates (17–
9ka) in Midwestern North America are hampered by samples that lack modern analogues …

Forest ecosystems contain several climate‐sensitive drivers that respond differentially to
changes in climate and climate variability. For example, growth and regeneration processes …

Sedimentary charcoal records are widely used to reconstruct regional changes in fire
regimes through time in the geological past. Existing global compilations are not …

An isolated sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) stand is located in the boreal forest of
Abitibi, about 75 km beyond its present northern range limit. When did this relatively …

Projecting suitable conditions for a species as a function of future climate provides a
reasonable, although admittedly imperfect, spatially explicit estimate of species vulnerability …

Land use history has altered natural disturbance dynamics, causing widespread
modifications of the earth's forests. The aim of this study is to reconstruct a regional, spatially …

Understanding the processes controlling peatland carbon (C) sequestration is critical to
anticipate potential changes in the global C cycle in response to climate change. Although …
