Tree diversity drives forest stand resistance to natural disturbances
Purpose of review Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to
increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed …

Fire-regime changes in Canada over the last half century
Contemporary fire regimes of Canadian forests have been well documented based on forest
fire records between the late 1950s to 1990s. Due to known limitations of fire datasets, an …

Peat deposits store more carbon than trees in forested peatlands of the boreal biome
Peatlands are significant carbon (C) stores, playing a key role in nature-based climate
change mitigation. While the effectiveness of non-forested peatlands as C reservoirs is …

The influence of vegetation, fire spread and fire behaviour on biomass burning and trace gas emissions: results from a process-based model
A process-based fire regime model (SPITFIRE) has been developed, coupled with
ecosystem dynamics in the LPJ Dynamic Global Vegetation Model, and used to explore fire …

Fire, climate change, and forest resilience in interior Alaska
In the boreal forests of interior Alaska, feedbacks that link forest soils, fire characteristics, and
plant traits have supported stable cycles of forest succession for the past 6000 years. This …
