Small-scale gap disturbance in forests is reviewed. Caused by the death of individual or
multiple trees with subsequent fall from the canopy, gaps have been extensively studied in …

Understory vegetation is the most diverse and least understood component of North
American boreal forests. Understory communities are important as they act as drivers of …

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 …

The recovery of forests following stand-replacing disturbance is of widespread interest;
however, there is both a lack of definitional clarity for the term “recovery” and a dearth of …

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 …

In order to test whether changes in forest composition observed while sampling portions of
the landscape originating from different fires may be explained by stand‐level processes, I …

Discusses the predictability of climate change impacts on insect management and
conservation in the northern hemisphere's temperate regions. Effect of low temperatures on …

Fire history was reconstructed for an area of 15 000 km2 located in the transition zone
between the mixed and coniferous forests in Quebec's southern boreal forest. We used …

This study identifies patterns in the gap disturbance regime along a successional gradient in
the southern boreal forest and uses this information to investigate canopy composition …

The percentage of above‐canopy Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (% PPFD) was
measured at 0, 50 and 100 cm above the forest floor and above the main understory …
