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 …

Canada's managed boreal forest, 54% of the nation's total boreal forest area, stores 28 Pg
carbon (C) in biomass, dead organic matter, and soil pools. The net C balance is dominated …

The boreal forest biome is a major component of Earth's biosphere and climate system that
is projected to shift northward due to continued climate change over the coming century …

Predicted increases in temperature and aridity across the boreal forest region have the
potential to alter timber supply and carbon sequestration. Given the widely-observed …

Recognition that climate change could have negative consequences for agricultural
production has generated a desire to build resilience into agricultural systems. One rational …

Disturbance regimes are changing rapidly, and the consequences of such changes for
ecosystems and linked social‐ecological systems will be profound. This paper synthesizes …

Spatial fingerprints of climate change on biotic communities are usually associated with
changes in the distribution of species at their latitudinal or altitudinal extremes. By …

In contrast to pulses in resource availability following disturbance events, many of the most
pressing global changes, such as elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and …

Predicting plant community responses to changing environmental conditions is a key
element of forecasting and mitigating the effects of global change. Disturbance can play an …

Chapter 3 evaluates observed and projected changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial
extent, and duration of extreme weather and climate events. This physical basis provides a …
