Boreal forests represent one of the largest terrestrial biomes, harbouring a wealth of species adapted to cold climates and periodic disturbance regimes. Management of biodiversity within these ...

Boreal forests are important reservoirs of biodiversity, carbon and timber stocks. However, timber harvest can alter biodiversity in these forests without clear ...

A new study has introduced a powerful tool for analyzing satellite imagery of boreal forests (also known as 'Taiga' in North America), offering unprecedented insights into the health and dynamics of ...

Boreal forests are continuing to shift northward as they warm due to climate change, satellite images taken over the last several decades show. Boreal forests are the world's largest terrestrial biome ...

A new study reports that climate warming can increase soil carbon accumulation in boreal Sphagnum peatlands by boosting plant productivity, protecting iron, and inhibiting microbial decomposition.

Boreal forests, often referred to as the "taiga," are vast ecosystems that stretch across the northern hemisphere, storing 25% and 40% of the global terrestrial carbon in their soils. However, the ...

The extensive northern forests of Canada, Alaska and Siberia are about to fundamentally change their tree density because of climate change. According to a new study led by researchers from Wageningen ...

Forest fragmentation—the division of large, intact woodlands into smaller patches—has emerged as a critical issue in 21st-century global land cover change, with far-reaching implications for ecosystem ...
