Acclimation of Russian forests to recent changes in climate
Assessments made over the past few decades have suggested that boreal forests may act as a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, the fate of the newly accumulated carbon in the living forest biomass is not well understood, and the estimates of carbon sinks vary greatly from one assessment to another. Analysis of remote sensing data has indicated that the carbon sinks in the Russian fore...

متن کاملTransgenic aspen and birch trees for Russian plantation forests
Background Aspen(Populus tremula) and birch (Betula pubescens) are the fast-growing trees successfully used for the aim of plantation forestry. These species have the great potential in Russia to meeting the need for paper, timber and other wood-based products. However, enhanced growth rate, decreased lignin content and herbicide resistance are the required properties of new trees for plantatio...
متن کاملEvaluation of carbon sequestration service of forests – A Russian case-study
Prerequisites of a system methodology of evaluation of carbon sequestration service of forests (CSS) inter alia include: 1) need of assessment of the CSS in biophysical terms, in form of the Full Verified Carbon Account (FCA); 2) an ultimate proxy indicator of the FCA is Net Ecosystem Carbon Budget of forest ecosystems (NECB); 3) need of explicit spatio-temporal distribution of the service (in ...
متن کاملThe effect of climate anomalies and human ignition factor on wildfires in Russian boreal forests.
Over the last few years anomalies in temperature and precipitation in northern Russia have been regarded as manifestations of climate change. During the same period exceptional forest fire seasons have been reported, prompting many authors to suggest that these in turn are due to climate change. In this paper, we examine the number and areal extent of forest fires across boreal Russia for the p...
