Chlorpyrifos has been used extensively for decades to control crop pests and disease-
transmitting insects; its contribution to increasing food security and minimizing the spread of …

Large projected increases in forest disturbance pose a major threat to future wood fiber
supply and carbon sequestration in the cold-limited, Canadian boreal forest ecosystem …

The future performance of native tree species under climate change conditions is frequently
discussed, since increasingly severe and more frequent drought events are expected to …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

Abstract Changes in key drivers (eg, climate, disturbance regimes and land use) may affect
the sustainability of forest landscapes and set the stage for increased tension among …

Birch (Betula) trees and forests are found across much of the temperate and boreal zones of
the Northern Hemisphere. Yet, despite being an ecologically significant genus, it is not well …

High precipitation in boreal northeastern North America could help forests withstand the
expected temperature-driven increase in evaporative demand, but definitive evidence is …

Predicting future ecosystem dynamics depends critically on an improved understanding of
how disturbances and climate change have driven long-term ecological changes in the past …

An increasing number of studies conclude that water limitations and heat stress may hinder
the capacity of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) trees, a dominant species of …
