Boreal Forests Could Hold the Key to Achieving Canada’s Climate Goals

Boreal forests could hold the key to achieving Canada’s climate goals

This article supplied by Troy Media. By Science and Technology Desk New study finds billions more trees than expected, making boreal forests a bigger carbon sink than we thought Canada’s boreal forests may be far more resilient to climate change than previously believed, with new research showing they contain billions more trees than past estimates, potentially boosting Canada’s natural defences in the fight against global warming. Spanning from…

Using RIEGL LiDAR to Understand How Forests Mitigate Climate Change

Using RIEGL LiDAR to Understand How Forests Mitigate Climate Change Understanding the impacts of forest disturbances on forest structure – and consequently, their capacity to buffer climate change impacts by regulating microclimates and mitigating climate extremes – is crucial for predicting how forests will respond to climate change. However, the full extent of these impacts remains poorly understood, especially across [...]
