High and dry: post‐fire tree seedling establishment in subalpine forests decreases with post‐fire drought and large stand‐replacing burn patches (2016, background): “Concerns are particularly heightened in temperate (Millar & Stephenson, 2015) and boreal forests (Gauthier et al ., 2015) world-wide.”
Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “The push to understand carbon sources and sinks in forests, particularly in boreal regions (Gauthier et al. 2015a), has improved our collective knowledge on potential drivers affecting carbon gains and losses in forest ecosystems under a changing climate.”
Geostatistical estimation of forest biomass in interior Alaska combining Landsat-derived tree cover, sampled airborne lidar and field observations (2017, background): “Understanding that the taiga-tundra ecotone is one of the most vulnerable environmental systems to climate change and that its boreal forests can contribute substantially to the global carbon cycle, methods are needed to begin monitoring forest carbon stocks and fluxes for these systems (Gauthier et”
Canadian boreal forest greening and browning trends: an analysis of biogeographic patterns and the relative roles of disturbance versus climate drivers (2017, methodology): “Because ecosystem function and forest health in boreal regions are intimately linked to seasonal temperature and precipitation regimes (Bonan et al1992, Bonan2008, Gauthier et al 2015), boreal forests are considered vulnerable to climate change (Lenton et al 2008).”
Climate‐change refugia in boreal North America: what, where, and for how long? (2020, background): “Climatically, the region is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers, resulting in continuous to isolated occurrence of permafrost across three- quarters of its land area (Gauthier et al. 2015), and by the predominance of cold- tolerant species (Brandt et al. 2013).”
Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem Processes, and Response to Global Change (2017, background): “It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset by C sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of both trees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions.”
Forest microbiome: diversity, complexity and dynamics. (2016, background): “They are also significantly threatened by a combination of anthropogenic factors ranging from climate change to environmental pollution and inappropriate management practices (Gauthier et al. 2015), which together may easily shift the balance of carbon cycling processes.”
