Data on precipitation and evapotranspiration — the transfer of water from soil and plants to the atmosphere — allowed the researchers to identify and map ... biomes, such as northern boreal ...

Today, the black hand sandstone and waterfall are surrounded by a biome that's even more special. It's a rare plant community, hosting a disjunct boreal habitat that's a ... long loop that takes you ...

The results indicate that global boreal forests might change to a more open type, with trees covering about 30%–50% of the area. "This is very different from what we see now, which includes both ...

which includes the treeless tundra and boreal forests, is now a source of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Warming temperatures, changes in vegetation growth and increased wildfires are ...

A synthesis of carbon flux and wildfire emissions data from across the Arctic-boreal zone between 2001-2020 found that 34 ...

"The most climate-stressed regions all contained permafrost, which is vulnerable to thaw as temperatures rise," researcher Sue Natali said.

After millennia as a carbon deep-freezer for the planet, regional hotspots and increasingly frequent wildfires in the ...

Map of areas that experienced ecosystem climate ... compared to 72% of Eurasian boreal forests. While some hotspots in Siberia and the Northwest Territories of Canada grew drier, the researchers ...

Boreal forests encircle the cold, northern regions of our planet. They host a diverse set of species, regulate global climate by storing huge amounts of carbon in the trees and soils, and provide ...

In northern regions, where forests are densifying, reduced albedo may exacerbate warming, potentially offsetting the benefits of increased carbon storage. Taken together, the boreal forest’s ...
