• The reduction of organic-layer depth by wildfire in the North American boreal forest and its effect on tree recruitment by seed (2007, background): “The three small-seeded species dealt with here (pine, black spruce, aspen) are dependent upon thinner organic layers for successful germination, and this dependence is well established in the literature (e.g., Charron and Greene 2002; Purdy et al. 2002; Johnstone and Chapin 2006).”
• Recruitment limitation in forests: Lessons from an unprecedented mountain pine beetle epidemic (2008, background): “First, regeneration may develop from a pulse of new post-disturbance recruitment, such as occurs after wildfire in northern Canadian forests (Greene et al., 1999; Charron and Greene, 2002; Johnson et al., 2003).”
• Decadal observations of tree regeneration following fire in boreal forests (2004, unknown): “Our data support studies indicating that the majority of tree establishment occurs within 3–7 years after fire (Johnson and Fryer 1989; St-Pierre et al. 1992; Johnson et al. 1994; Turner et al. 1997; Lavoie and Sirois 1998; Charron and Greene 2002; Gutsell and Johnson 2002).”
• Effects of Soil Burn Severity on Post-Fire Tree Recruitment in Boreal Forest (2006, methodology): “and frequent drought stress (Zasada and others 1983; Herr and Duchesne 1995; Charron and Greene 2002 ).”
• Understory Vegetation Dynamics of North American Boreal Forests (2006, background): “The appearance of new species is inhibited by dense understory vegetation cover and increasing forest floor litter and organic matter, as well as the decline in resource availability in the understory, which acts as a filter on light and nutrient requiring species (Paré et al., 1993; George and Bazz”
• Wildfire promotes broadleaves and species mixture in boreal forest (2009, unknown): “Mineral soil with a thin humus layer provide better conditions for seedling establishment (Weber et al., 1987; Charron and Greene, 2002; Miyanishi and Johnson, 2002), resulting in higher densities and an increase in site occupancy and competition as BUI increases.”
