Canadian boreal woodlands and forests cover approximately 3.09× 106 km2, located within
a larger boreal zone characterized by cool summers and long cold winters. Warming since …

The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

Spatial interpolation of climatic data is frequently required to provide input for plant growth
models. As no single method is optimal for all regions, it is important to compare the results …

Projected climate warming will potentially have profound effects on the earth's biota,
including a large redistribution of tree species. We developed models to evaluate potential …

Global warming is expected to have a major impact on plant distributions, an issue of key
importance in biological conservation. However, very few models are able to predict species …

Most forests today are multi-specific and heterogeneous forests ('mixed forests'). However,
forest modelling has been focusing on mono-specific stands for a long time, only recently …

Identifying the biological determinants of range limits of trees is an unsolved problem of
critical importance for predicting the effects of climate change on forests. Data showing that …

Increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases are driving significant changes in global
climate. To project potential vegetation response to future climate change, this study uses …

Evidence that global warming has altered the phenology of the biosphere, possibly
contributing to increased plant production in the northern hemisphere, has come from a …

We explored the effect of high‐growth temperatures on a dominant North American boreal
tree, black spruce [Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP]. In 2004 and 2005, we grew black spruce at …
