Happy to see this great new study on future #boreal tree cover changes! 🌲

#Paleoecology offers a complementary perspective: We previously found that open woodlands in E-Siberia during the Early Holocene coincided with higher #wildfire activity, proposing a potential future "open woodland-fire feedback" 🔥

Reconstructing past wildfires and vegetation coverage furthermore led us to hypothesize that present-day, dense larch forests may still mediate the full extent of climate-driven fire regime intensification in this region. You can find our #paleofire study from #Siberia here:

Because boreal trees grow slowly, it takes some time to see changes in the forest.
doesn't match the changing climate

"Forests growing at the southern boreal distribution range may not be able to maintain the current amount of trees as climate becomes drier & warmer. Therefore, they may become less dense. Other forests, in the cold north, could support more trees as conditions warm up, & in fact become denser than the forests we currently find there."

The disturbances are not limited to the cultivation of forests, but also the penetration of tree roots. Also, the white snow reflects most of the sunlight without absorbing it. Tree plantations in northern boreal or arctic regions will decrease albedo, resulting in net warming

Great big evergreen #trees are being cut down in North America's #BorealForest.

These magnificent trees are destroyed, just to become #tissues, #ToiletPaper and other #paper products.

The #boreal is the largest intact #forest in the world, but it won't stay that way if #logging continues to run rampant. We're urging Procter & Gamble (P&G) -- the parent company of #Charmin, #Bounty and #Puffs --
