Biodiversity recovery is slow following clear-cut harvest of boreal forests
Boreal forests are important reservoirs of biodiversity, carbon and timber stocks. However, timber harvest can alter biodiversity in these forests without clear evidence on the duration needed for biotic groups to recover. Resilience of boreal forest biodiversity to clear-cut harvest was examined with a meta-analysis of 190 datasets from boreal and hemi-boreal forests of Europe/Russia and North America for arthropods, birds, small mammals, lichen…
Fire-controlled variations in abundance of white pine and red pine in Quebec’s northern temperate forest during the Holocene
In North American temperate forests, white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) and red pine ( Pinus resinosa Ait.) establish on sites cleared by infrequent high-severity crown fires and persist in the long-term when low-severity surface fires clear the understory and expose mineral seedbeds, facilitating regeneration. Considerable reduction of white pine and red pine abundance over the last two centuries due to overharvesting and fire suppression prompted e…

The legacy of Santiago de Chile in Icom publications
In recent years, the Round Table of Santiago de Chile has been mentioned a lot, particularly in light of its 50th anniversary in 2022. These multiple celebrations might suggest that its values have been in the international spotlight since its promulgation in 1972. However, the lively debates in Kyoto in 2019 over the proposed modification of the definition of the term “museum” suggest the opposite, demonstrating a less-than-unanimous acceptance …

Postglacial establishment and expansion of marginal populations of sugar maple in western Québec, Canada
An isolated sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh.) stand is located in the boreal forest of Abitibi, about 75 km beyond its present northern range limit. When did this relatively thermophilous tree species establish after ice retreat? Were its populations more abundant than now sometimes in the past? If so, when and how did they expand then retracted? How did the species persist in boreal forest over time? What could have been the role of fire on t…
Early afforestation on islands of proglacial Lake Ojibway as evidence of post-glacial migration outposts
At the end of the last glacial period in the northern hemisphere, meltwater from receding ice sheets accumulated into large proglacial lakes, potentially limiting postglacial afforestation. We explored whether former islands of proglacial Lake Ojibway (Canada) (hilltops in the current landscape) could have acted as migration outposts and thus accelerated the postglacial migration. We extracted sediments from two small lakes located on “paleo-isla…

Projected changes in fire activity and severity feedback in the spruce–feather moss forest of western Quebec, Canada
As a result of extreme weather conditions associated with anthropogenic climate change, fire regimes are expected to continue to change in the boreal forest over the 21st century and beyond. Consequently, changes in ecological attributes like stand composition, tree density and forest carbon stock can be expected. In the present study, we used an adjusted version of the CanFIRE model to project long-term (1971–2100) changes in burn rates, fire se…
Musées d’art et musées de société au Québec
On observe depuis deux décennies des tendances (Chevalier & Fanlo, 2013 ; Mairesse, 2016 ; Van Geert, 2020) qui contribuent à atténuer les distinctions traditionnelles entre les musées d’art et les musées de société (Gob & Montpetit, 2010). Il semble bien que les musées d’art tendent à adopter les approches des musées de société tant dans leurs programmations que dans leurs relations avec les publics et les communautés (Bergeron, 2010). Inverseme…

Influences of climate fluctuations on northeastern North America’s burned areas largely outweigh those of European settlement since AD 1850
There is a pressing need for a better understanding of changing forest fire regimes worldwide, especially to separate the relative effects of potential drivers that control burned areas. Here we present a meta-analysis of the impacts of climate fluctuation and Euro-Canadian settlement on burned areas from 1850 to 1990 in a large zone (>100 000 km ^2 ) in northern temperate and boreal forests of eastern Canada. Using Cox regression models, we test…

The reconstruction of burned area and fire severity using charcoal from boreal lake sediments
Although lacustrine sedimentary charcoal has long been used to infer paleofires, their quantitative reconstructions require improvements of the calibration of their links with fire regimes (i.e. occurrence, area, and severity) and the taphonomic processes that affect charcoal particles between the production and the deposition in lake sediments. Charcoal particles >150 μm were monitored yearly from 2011 to 2016 using traps submerged in seven head…
Spatiotemporal evolution of paludification associated with autogenic and allogenic factors in the black spruce–moss boreal forest of Québec, Canada
Paludification is the most common process of peatland formation in boreal regions. In this study, we investigated the autogenic (e.g., topography) and allogenic (fire and climate) factors triggering paludification in different geomorphological contexts (glaciolacustrine silty-clayey and fluvioglacial deposits) within the Québec black spruce ( Picea mariana )–moss boreal forest. Paleoecological analyses were conducted along three toposequences var…
Resilience and Vulnerability of Northern Regions to Social and Environmental Change
The arctic tundra and boreal forest were once considered the last frontiers on earth because of their vast expanses remote from agricultural land-use change and industrial development. These regions are now, however, experiencing environmental and social changes that are as rapid as those occurring anywhere on earth. This paper summarizes the role of northern regions in the global system and provides a blueprint for assessing the factors that gov…
Global Change and the Boreal Forest
Changes in boreal climate of the magnitude projected for the 21st century have always caused vegetation changes large enough to be societally important. However, the rates and patterns of vegetation change are difficult to predict. We review evidence suggesting that these vegetation changes may be gradual at the northern forest limit or where seed dispersal limits species distribution. However, forest composition may be quite resilient to climate…
Changes in fire regime explain the Holocene rise and fall of Abies balsamea in the coniferous forests of western Québec, Canada
The coniferous boreal forest of northeastern North America is characterized by large and severe fire events and dominated by black spruce ( Picea mariana ), with scattered patches of balsam fir ( Abies balsamea), a species otherwise predominant in the more southern mixedwood boreal forests, characterized by smaller and less severe fire events. Because balsam fir is a late-successional species ill-adapted to fire, this study aimed at determining i…

Decreasing frequency of forest fires in the southern boreal zone of Québec and its relation to global warming since the end of the 'Little Ice Age
Although an increasing frequency of forest fires has been suggested as a consequence of global warming, there are no empirical data that have shown a climatically driven change in fire frequency since the warming that has followed the end of the 'Little Ice Age'. We present here evidence from fire and tree-ring chronologies that the post-'Little Ice Age' climate change has profoundly decreased the frequency of fires in the northwestern Québec bor…

Métissages entre musées d’art et musées de société dans les musées nord-américains
This article analyzes the changes that have caracterized museography of art museums and societal museums in North America over the last few decades. Taking into account the specific elements that have historically differentiated North American museums from European museums, the author emphasizes the role of artifacts in defining museography that focuses on using narration. Developments introduced by museums of societies in presenting exhibitions …
Past, Current and Future Fire Frequency in the Canadian Boreal Forest
Over the past decades, there has been an increasing interest in the development of forest management approaches that are based on an understanding of historical natural disturbance dynamics. The rationale for such an approach is that management to favor landscape compositions and stand structures similar to those of natural ecosystems should also maintain biological diversity and essential ecological functions. In fire-dominated landscapes, this …

Are marginal balsam fir and eastern white cedar stands relics from once more extensive populations in north-eastern North America
Marginal stands of balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and eastern white cedar ( Thuja occidentalis L.) are found north of their limits of continuous distribution in eastern North America. Regional-scale paleoecological studies have suggested that fir and cedar populations could have had larger extents in the past. This study aimed at verifying this hypothesis at the local scale. Wood charcoal fragments were collected from the soils of two ma…
Using tree-ring records to calibrate peak detection in fire reconstructions based on sedimentary charcoal records
We compared fire episodes over the past 150 years reconstructed using charcoal particles retrieved from well-dated sediment deposits from two small lakes in the eastern Canadian boreal forest, with dendrochronological reconstructions of fire events from the corresponding watersheds. Fire scars and age structure of living trees highlighted three fire events (ad 1890, 1941, and 1989). To explore the ability to detect these fire events based on sedi…
Ice-flood history reconstructed with tree- rings from the southern boreal forest limit, western Québec
Historic ice-flood frequency and lake levels were reconstructed for the southern limit of the boreal forest in western Québec by dendrochronological analyses of ice-scarred white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) trees growing on the shore of Lake Duparquet. Results reveal a significant increase in major ice floods since the end of the 'Little Ice Age' and, in particular, since the beginning of this century. This rise was also not related to oversamp…

Proposition d'une méthodologie d'inventaire et de cartographie écologique; le cas de la MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent
Au Québec, les rapports entre écologie et aménagement sont encore ténus. La législation, après avoir privilégié la notion de conservation des sites, ne s'est dotée que récemment de lois d'aménagement impliquant des principes de planification écologique. Quant aux grands projets d'aménagement, ils n'ont généralement pas tiré profit des études écologiques qu'ils avaient pourtant suscitées. Un projet du Centre de recherches écologiques de Montréal (…

Comparing fire-history interpretations based on area, number and estimated volume of macroscopic charcoal in lake sediments
Sedimentary charcoal particles from lakes are commonly used to investigate fire history. Fire-history reconstructions are based on measuring the surface area or counting the number of charcoal fragments in adjacent samples. Recently, the volume of charcoal particles was advised as a more accurate method for quantifying past charcoal production. Large charcoal datasets, used to synthesize global fire history, include these different types of charc…
Mémoire de Mémoires
Le musée a cette faculté de rendre visibles des éléments de culte et de culture qu’il remet symboliquement en circulation en les insérant dans un récit habituellement nouveau. C’est d’ailleurs le propre du musée que de convoquer au regard des autres des objets souvent oubliés, que l’institution ramène en mémoire publique par leur mise en espace, laquelle se trouve, à son tour, structurée par un récit. Or, c’est effectivement ce rôle qu’a joué l’e…
Flooding Effects on Tree-Ring Formation of Riparian Eastern White-Cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.), Northwestern Quebec, Canada
Tree-ring formation of eastern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) at a boreal lake in northwestern Quebec, Canada, was monitored using manual band dendrometers to (i) retrace cambial activity phases, (ii) evaluate the effects of flooding on radial growth, and (iii) analyze the relationships with meteorological factors. The daily circumferential activity of four trees at each of two sites, a riparian and an upland site, was recorded during the gr…

Les musées nord-américains et plus particulièrement les musées québécois se caractérisent par une muséographie qui privilégie la mise en récit de l'histoire et de la culture. Nous tentons de dégager ce qui caractérise les objets de collections dans les musées de société nord-américains et n…
Did fires drive Holocene carbon sequestration in boreal ombrotrophic peatlands of eastern Canada?
Wildfire is an important factor on carbon sequestration in the North American boreal biomes. Being globally important stocks of organic carbon, peatlands may be less sensitive to burning in comparison with upland forests, especially wet unforested ombrotrophic ecosystems as found in northeastern Canada. We aimed to determine if peatland fires have driven carbon accumulation patterns during the Holocene. To cover spatial variability, six cores fro…

Les territoires de l’attente
Cet ouvrage examine les territoires de l’attente, nés du déplacement de populations qui y ont laissé leur empreinte, et la multiplicité des formes qu’ils revêtent dans les mondes américains. Il tente d’établir leurs dimensions, de comprendre leurs statuts juridiques, leurs articulations avec l’espace environnant, leurs temporalités spécifiques ainsi que la variété des jeux économiques et sociaux qui s’y déploient.
Pour une nouvelle formation en muséologie
Au cours des deux dernières décennies, une vaste réflexion a porté sur les transformations profondes qui sont venues bouleverser le monde des musées. En plus de mener des travaux portant sur les tendances sociétales et leurs répercussions sur la démocratisation culturelle, qui affectent les comportements des visiteurs, jeunes comme adultes, il devient impératif pour le monde universitaire de poser un regard critique sur les grandes orientations q…
Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire
As the permafrost region warms, its large organic carbon pool will be increasingly vulnerable to decomposition, combustion, and hydrologic export. Models predict that some portion of this release will be offset by increased production of Arctic and boreal biomass; however, the lack of robust estimates of net carbon balance increases the risk of further overshooting international emissions targets. Precise empirical or model-based assessments of t…
Crossdating Dead Trees
In trees experiencing stress prior to death, growth may be partially or totally suppressed, or may occur only in the upper part of the boles. This may induce inaccuracies when retrospectively crossdating dead trees. In this study, we investigated the occurrence and range of time lags between year of last ring production (YOLRP) in crossdated discs collected at the base, at breast height (BrH), and in the upper part (UP) of the boles of 145 snags …
