One of nature’s woody behemoths — the North American snow forest — may soon begin shrinking. The continent’s boreal forest reposes in subarctic latitudes, spanning much of Alaska and Canada.

Direct observations were made on the interactions between aerosol particles formed in boreal forests and clouds in the atmospheric boundary layer. A new study shows that through aerosol formation and ...

The boreal forest is Earth’s largest terrestrial ecosystem and the last intact forest in the world. In North America, it covers much of Alaska and Canada and extend into the contiguous U.S. It stores ...

A new study has introduced a powerful tool for analyzing satellite imagery of boreal forests (also known as 'Taiga' in North America), offering unprecedented insights into the health and dynamics of ...

Alaska's boreal forest is one of the largest trappers of carbon dioxide in the world. But as the state warms twice as fast as the rest of the U.S., once frozen land is now thawed out and up for grabs.

A new study shows that through aerosol formation and growth, the forests are capable of mitigating climate change and have a regional effect on the climate of an entire continent at the most. Prior ...

The boreal forest, covering much of Canada and Alaska, and the treeless shrublands to the north of the forest region, may be among the worst impacted by climate change over the next 500 years, ...

Janelle Marie Baker receives funding from ECCC, the Arctic Connections Fund, CIHR, SSHRC, NSERC, and Athabasca University. Labrador Tea, fireweed, chokecherry and raspberry are some of the boreal ...

Nitrogen fixation in boreal forests is vital for sustaining ecosystem productivity in environments where soil nitrogen is limited. Moss-cyanobacteria associations, commonly found in species such as ...
