Resilience and vulnerability of permafrost to climate change (2010, background): “Temperature monitoring of deep boreholes in northern Alaska since the 1950s (Lachenbruch and Marshall 1986; Osterkamp and Romanovsky 1999; Osterkamp 2007) indicates that permafrost warmed 2–4 8C in the early to mid-20th century coming out of the Little Ice Age and warmed by up to 3 8C during the…”
Canadian boreal forest greening and browning trends: an analysis of biogeographic patterns and the relative roles of disturbance versus climate drivers (2017, background): “…degradation (Osterkamp et al 2000, Schuur et al 2008), and changes in insect and fire regimes (Kasischke and Turetsky 2006, Kurz et al 2008, Kasischke et al 2010), all of which increase the amount of carbon released to the atmosphere and provide positive feedbacks to climate warming…”
Focus on changing fire regimes: interactions with climate, ecosystems, and society (2020, background): “With polar amplification, temperature increases have been most rapid in high latitudes, contributing to intensifying fire regimes across the biome (e.g. Gillett et al 2004, Soja et al 2007, Kasischke et al 2010, Turetsky et al 2011, Ponomarev et al 2016).”
Satellite observations of high northern latitude vegetation productivity changes between 1982 and 2008: ecological variability and regional differences (2011, background): “In the boreal forest biome fire is currently the dominant disturbance agent and exerts strong controls on the carbon balance (Bond-Lamberty et al 2007, Kasischke et al 2010, Beck et al 2011a, Turetsky et al 2011).”
Resilience of Alaska's Boreal Forest to Climatic Change (2010, background): “As climate warms, however, vegetation effects on flammability decline, weakening this stabilizing feedback, so the areal extent of fire is projected to continue increasing with climate warming despite the shift to deciduous vegetation (Kasischke et al. 2010).”
