Fire regimes at the transition between mixedwood and coniferous boreal forest in northwestern Quebec.
Download2004
Flannigan, M., Kafka, V., Gauthier, S., Bergeron, Y.
Fire history was reconstructed for an area of 15 000 km2 located in the transition zone between the mixed and coniferous forests in Quebec's southern boreal forest. We used aerial photographs, archives, and dendroecological data (315 sites) to reconstruct a stand initiation map for the area. The...

Skinner, W., Flannigan, M., Shabber, A.
An empirical scheme for predicting the meteorological conditions that lead to summer forest fire severity for Canada using the multivariate singular value decomposition (SVD) has been developed for the 1953-2007 period. The levels and sources of predictive skill have been estimated using a...

Synoptic Scale Atmospheric Circulation and Summer Drought Variability of the Past Three Centuries, Boreal Canada
Download2006
Tardif, J.C., Girardin, M.P., Flannigan, M., Bergeron, Y.
Five independent multicentury reconstructions of the July Canadian Drought Code and one reconstruction of the mean July-August temperature were developed using a network of 120 well-replicated tree-ring chronologies covering the area of the eastern Boreal Plains to the eastern Boreal Shield of...

The role of historical fire disturbance in the carbon dynamics of the pan-boreal region: A process-based analysis
Download2007
Apps, M., Zhuang, Q., Burnside, T.J., Shvidenko, A., Flannigan, M., McAllister, J., Wirth, C., Clein, J.S., Balshi, M.S., Kurz, W.A., Kicklighter, D.W., Harden, J., McGuire, A.D., Kasischke, E., Melillo, J.
Wildfire is a common occurrence in ecosystems of northern high latitudes, and changes in the fire regime of this region have consequences for carbon feedbacks to the climate system. To improve our understanding of how wildfire influences carbon dynamics of this region, we used the process-based...
