Post-Disturbance Recovery Shifts in Boreal Evergreen Landscapes: Impacts on Carbon Dynamics and Land Surface Properties. Open
In the evergreen boreal forest, field studies show that vegetation does not always regenerate to its previous state after disturbance but instead transitions to systems dominated by deciduous trees or non-forest vegetation. Gaining a bette…
