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 …

In this review, we focus on the biotic parameters that are crucial to an understanding of the
recruitment dynamics of North American boreal tree species following natural (fire, budworm …

Projected changes in temperature and drought regime are likely to reduce carbon (C) storage
in forests, thereby amplifying rates of climate change. While such reductions are often …

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 variation in …

The past decade has seen an increasing interest in forest management based on historical
or natural disturbance dynamics. The rationale is that management that favours landscape …

Understanding a disturbance regime such as gap dynamics requires that we study its spatial
and temporal characteristics. However, it is still difficult to observe and measure canopy …

Climate change is altering insect disturbance regimes via temperature‐mediated phenological
changes and trophic interactions among host trees, herbivorous insects, and their natural …

Canada's boreal forests, which occupy approximately 30% of boreal forests worldwide, play
an important role in the global carbon budget. However, there is little quantitative …

In order to assess the long‐term spatiotemporal influence of the spruce budworm in sub‐boreal
mixedwood forests, we studied the effect of three successive outbreaks in a region of …

Old-growth forests have been identified as a potentially important stage of stand development
for maintaining biodiversity in the landscape, yet they have also been targeted by the …
