"Boreal Forest in Canada cover much of the southern region, they are usually very cold, wet, damp and sometimes it snows, but the average temperature melts snow preventing it from accumulating."

Why is this unsourced statement in the article? The Boreal Forest is covered in snow during the winter. I will remove this statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Will McRoy (talk • contribs) 19:53, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Wiki Education assignment: Applied Plant Ecology Winter 2024

Hello, I am adding two citations regarding carbon cycling in the boreal forests of Canada, specifically how the cold weather effects it and also the impacts made by large herbivores such as moose. I will be adding this under Life Cycles.

I am adding this text:

Kurz, W.A. et al. “Carbon in Canada’s Boreal Forest — A Synthesis.” Environmental reviews 21.4 (2013): 260–292. Web.

Due to cold temperatures, significant amounts of carbon stocks have been built up, this combined with the further increasing temperatures and disturbance rates will lead to the high net source of carbon that will remain for more than a hundred years. This will result in global impacts which researchers are still uncertain about.

Leroux, S. J., Wiersma, Y. F., & Vander Wal, E. (2020). Herbivore Impacts on Carbon Cycling in Boreal Forests. Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 35(11), 1001–1010. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2020.07.009

Direct effects of herbivores can lead to boreal landscapes as there may be decreased regeneration in some local forest patches. This is altering the input of soils, which could affect soil compaction, and density, or reduce microbial and nitrogen levels in the soil. At high abundance, large herbivores often choose palatable, fast-growing plants which keep keystone species in boreal forests juvenile, which changes these forests. This moose-led transition in forest age class distribution and composition causes slower increases in net primary production with lower large herbivore populations. This means that they are not only changing boreal forests from carbon sinks to sources over moderate periods. Samsam2102 (talk) 09:10, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
