In boreal and arctic regions, forest fires exert great influences on biogeochemical processes,
hydrothermal dynamics of the active layer and near-surface permafrost, and subsequent …

Wood represents the defining feature of forest systems, and often the carbon in woody
debris has a long residence time. Globally, coarse dead wood contains 36–72 Pg C, and …

Much of the world's boreal forest occurs on permafrost (perennially cryotic ground). As such,
changes in permafrost conditions have implications for forest function and, within the zone of …

Wildfires are an important factor in controlling forest ecosystem dynamics across the
circumpolar boreal zone. An improved understanding of their direct and indirect, short-to …

The high-latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere are a nexus for the interaction
between land surface physical properties and their exchange of carbon and energy with the …

Fire severity is a key fire regime characteristic with high ecological and carbon cycle
relevance. Prior studies on boreal forest fires primarily focused on mapping severity in North …

Russia's boreal (taiga) biome will likely contract sharply and shift northward in response to
21st century climatic change, yet few studies have examined plant response to climatic …

Although it has been recognized that rising temperatures and shifts in the hydrological cycle
affect the depth of the seasonally thawing upper permafrost stratum, it remains unclear to …

Autocorrelation–correlation of tree‐ring parameters such as ring width, density and isotope
ratios to the environmental conditions of the previous year (s)–is associated with the use of …

This study was to determine the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities and
evaluate the effect of intercropping on soil fertility in the tea-Chinese chestnut intercropping …
