Environmental Biology 2018-09-06T00:00:00Z In terms of sequestering carbon dioxide and contributing oxygen to our atmosphere, these boreal forests are as equally important as the tropical forests at lower latitudes. Readers Respond to the February 2022 Issue 2022-06-02T04:00:00Z As they point out, the boreal forests alone hold 1.8 trillion metric tons of carbon, the equivalent of an astonishing 190 years' worth of worldwide emissions at 2019 levels. Book Review: An Urgent Plea to Save the World’s Megaforests 2022-05-24T04:00:00Z Much of the simulated increase occurred in boreal forests of the north, where longer growing seasons and thawing permafrost help trees gain ground. Climate change could expand forests. But will they cool the planet? 2022-05-19T04:00:00Z Major ecological changes are afoot in western Canada's boreal forests, and they have scientists concerned.

Environmental Biology 2018-09-06T00:00:00Z While boreal forests — those found throughout the U.S. and Russia — have experienced tremendous losses due to wildfires, 96 percent of tropical forest loss is due to human-caused deforestation. Despite COP26 pledges, the world is losing way too many trees 2022-05-03T04:00:00Z Major losses were also seen in northern boreal forests, driven by more frequent and intense wildfires. Millions of Trees Were Removed in 2021, Hurting Climate Goals 2022-04-28T04:00:00Z In an early portent, Global Forest Watch reported earlier this year that boreal forests lost more than 8 million hectares in 2021, 30% more than in 2020, with wildfires mostly to blame.
