Net ecosystem productivity of temperate and boreal forests after clearcutting - a Fluxnet-Canada measurement and modelling synthesis
Download2010
Barr, A. G., Trofymow, J. A., McCaughey, J. H., Black, T. A., Margolis, H. A., Grant, R. F.
Abstract: Clearcutting strongly affects subsequent forest net ecosystem productivity (NEP). Hypotheses for ecological controls on NEP in the ecosystem model ecosys were tested with CO(2) fluxes measured by eddy covariance (EC) in three post-clearcut conifer chronosequences in different ecological...

The role of historical fire disturbance in the carbon dynamics of the pan-boreal region: A process-based analysis

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...

With climate change rapidly affecting northern forests and wetlands, mercury reserves once protected in cold, wet soils are being exposed to burning, likely triggering large releases of mercury to the atmosphere. We quantify organic soil mercury stocks and burn areas across western, boreal Canada...
