  • Integrating Indigenous and scientific perspectives on environmental changes

    Open AccessAnnie Claude Bélisle, Sylvie Gauthier et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    Major environmental changes affect the health and capacity of ecosystems to sustain Indigenous people's well‐being in boreal landscapes. Collaboration between Indigenous communities and researchers could help assessing and mitigating the consequences of environmental changes. We used Driver Pressure State Impact (DPSI) conceptual models to compare the perspectives of Indigenous and scientific communities on environmental changes in boreal landsca…

  • Influences of climate fluctuations on northeastern North America’s burned areas largely outweigh those of European settlement since AD 1850

    Open AccessVictor Danneyrolles, Dominic Cyr et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    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…

  • Coherent signature of warming-induced extreme sub-continental boreal wildfire activity 4800 and 1100 years BP

    Open AccessMartin P Girardin, Jeanne Portier et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Climate changes are expected to progressively increase extreme wildfire frequency in forests. Finding past analogs for periods of extreme biomass burning would provide valuable insights regarding what the effects of warming might be for tree species distribution, ecosystem integrity, atmospheric greenhouse gas balance, and human safety. Here, we used a network of 42 lake-sediment charcoal records across a ∼2000 km transect in eastern boreal North…

  • Untangling methodological and scale considerations in growth and productivity trend estimates of Canada’s forests

    Open AccessWilliam Marchand, Martin P Girardin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    In view of the economic, social and ecological importance of Canada's forest ecosystems, there is a growing interest in studying the response of these ecosystems to climate change. Accurate knowledge regarding growth trajectories is needed for both policy makers and forest managers to ensure sustainability of the forest resource. However, results of previous analyses regarding the sign and magnitude of trends have often diverged. The main objecti…

  • Local knowledge in ecological modeling

    Open AccessAnnie Claude Bélisle, Hugo Asselin et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2018Citada por: 2

    Local people and scientists both hold ecological knowledge, respectively stemming from prolonged day-to-day contact with the environment and from systematic inquiry based on the scientific method. As the complementarity between scientific ecological knowledge (SEK) and local ecological knowledge (LEK) is increasingly acknowledged, LEK is starting to be involved in all branches of ecology, including ecological modeling. However, the integration of…

  • Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire

    Open AccessBenjamin W Abbott, Jeremy B Jones et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    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…

  • Boreal forest health and global change

    Open AccessSylvie Gauthier, Pierre Y Bernier et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    The boreal forest, one of the largest biomes on Earth, provides ecosystem services that benefit society at levels ranging from local to global. Currently, about two-thirds of the area covered by this biome is under some form of management, mostly for wood production. Services such as climate regulation are also provided by both the unmanaged and managed boreal forests. Although most of the boreal forests have retained the resilience to cope with …

  • Past, Current and Future Fire Frequency in the Canadian Boreal Forest

    Yves Bergeron, Mike Flannigan et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2004Citada por: 3

    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 …
