Will northern forests be able to stand the heat?
Boreal forests cover one third of the Earth’s forested area and have been estimated to contain up to 30% of all carbon stored in terrestrial biomes. The region is expected to experience more warming than equatorial zones and its temperature-limited forests will therefore particularly suffer. But will they be able to stand the heat?
At a Learning Event jointly organized by IUFRO and the European Forest Institute on 13 December 2009 during Forest Day 3 in Copenhagen, Denmark, a panel of renowned scientists and stakeholders discussed projected impacts of climate change on boreal and temperate forests, and how to reduce their vulnerability and increase their adaptive capacity.
