Science Daily: Lightning identified as the leading cause of wildfires in boreal forests, threatening carbon storage
Most wildfires in boreal forests, such as those in Canada, are caused by lightning strikes, according to a study aimed at attributing fire ignition sources globally. Lightning is the dominant cause of ...
Lightning identified as the leading cause of wildfires in boreal forests, threatening carbon storage
The boreal forest is Earth’s largest terrestrial ecosystem and the last intact forest in the world. In North America, it covers much of Alaska and Canada and extend into the contiguous U.S. It stores ...
Science Daily: Boreal forest and tundra regions worst hit over next 500 years of climate change, study shows
Modelling climate change over a 500 year period shows that much of the boreal forest, the Earth's northernmost forests and most significant provider of carbon storage and clean water, could be ...

A new study has introduced a powerful tool for analyzing satellite imagery of boreal forests (also known as 'Taiga' in North America), offering unprecedented insights into the health and dynamics of ...
Phys.org: Satellite record shows boreal forests expanded 12% and shifted north since 1985
The boreal forest—the world's largest terrestrial biome—is warming faster than any other forest type. To understand the changing dynamics of boreal forests, Min Feng and colleagues analyzed the biome ...
