Temperature increases across the circumpolar north have driven rapid increases in vegetation productivity, often described as ‘greening’. These changes have been widespread, but spatial variation in...

The boreal mixedwood forest ecosystem includes both coniferous and deciduous tree species and is a common and widespread ecosystem in the Canadian boreal forest resulting from harvesting, forest fires...

Canada’s forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forests exchange carbon dioxide with the atmosphere through the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. The...

With climate change, Canada’s forests will be exposed to rapid changes in their environment, including variations in temperature and precipitation. Tree species will have to migrate to find the...
