Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or ...

Wildfires in the northern boreal forests of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia may be more damaging to the climate than ...

Boreal forests are continuing to shift northward as they warm due to climate change, satellite images taken over the last several decades show. Boreal forests are the world's largest terrestrial biome ...

A pair of disturbances common in Western Canada's boreal forests, when combined, may have an unexpected benefit of limiting the spread of non-native plant species, a University of Alberta study shows.

Escalating wildfires, wind damage and insect outbreaks could threaten tourism, water supplies and biodiversity, a new study ...

Forests in the far north aren't standing still. A new analysis of 36 years of satellite imagery finds that the planet's ...

New research shows that fires in northern forests are releasing far more carbon than global climate models have been tracking.

Current climate models may be underestimating carbon emissions from soil fires, according to research published by UC Berkeley postdoc researcher Johan Eckdahl in affiliation with Lund University.

Northern wildfires may be unleashing hidden reservoirs of ancient carbon — and climate models are missing much of it.
