Climate change is projected to increase fire severity and frequency in the boreal forest, but it
could also directly affect post-fire recruitment processes by impacting seed production …

Les forêts mixtes boréales (BMWs) sont les écosystèmes forestiers les plus productifs et les
plus diversifiés des forêts boréales nord-américaines. Une bonne compréhension de la …

This book assembles the relevant studies of fire intensity, rate of spread, fuel consumption,
fire frequency, and fire weather in the North American boreal forest. The central thesis is that …

Ecology of Soil Seed Banks examines the factors that influence seed bank dynamics and the
variety of patterns found among different species. This book presents seed banks in a …

The retention of seeds in the plant canopy for one to 30 years or more is termed serotiny. It is
well represented floristically and physiognomically in fire-prone, nutrient-poor and …

From 1980–1989, fires burned 32 440 km2 of boreal forest, 200 km south of the forest‐
tundra border in northern Québec, Canada. An assessment of the impact of fire on tree …

The goal of this study was to describe white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) and
balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) recolonization in a forest destroyed in 1923 by an …

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) seeds are dispersed by Clark's Nutcracker (Nucifraga
columbiana), a bird that makes caches under 2–3 cm of soil. Cached seeds may delay …

Postfire tree species compositions are predicted to be the same prior to fire according to the
direct regeneration hypothesis (DRH). We studied 94 upland boreal forest stands between 5 …

This is the first truly modern book solely devoted to seed reproduction of forest trees-from
flowering to establishment, with emphasis on the interaction of environment with …
