Drought as the main climatic driver of major boreal fire seasons over the last century in eastern Canada
Projected global changes are anticipated to alter the fire regimes within boreal ecosystems. Understanding the relationship between fire activity and climate change requires a long-term dataset of annual burned area. Currently, there are only a limited number of long-term fire histories derived from detailed fieldwork. In this study, we used a spatially explicit reconstruction of forest fires from 1890 to 2024 across boreal Quebec based on histor…
Holocene dynamics of an eastern hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis ) forest site at the northern range of the species limit
Eastern hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis) is a shade-tolerant tree of the temperate conifer-hardwood forests of northeastern North America whose northern limit of distribution coincides with the St Lawrence River around Québec City (Canada). We have analyzed the structure and dynamics of one of the very few old-growth hemlock stands in this area to evaluate its successional status at the Holocene scale. To document the origin and long-term development …
Fire history of the central boreal forest in eastern North America reveals stability since the mid-Holocene
Past and present fire frequencies are key factors to evaluate fire-mediated changes in climate, but this metric is difficult to evaluate realistically in paleoecological and climatic reconstructions. Here, we applied charcoal analysis of forest soils to test from direct evidence the stability and resilience of the eastern North-American boreal forest at the Holocene timescale. Current knowledge indicates that the boreal forest is not so stable an…
