About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic collection we invite researchers to submit manuscripts along the following themes:
- Forest dynamics in temperate and boreal forests (recruitment, growth, mortality, successional dynamics, disturbances) as impacted by global change.
- Manuscript contributions that deal with global-change drivers at local, regional and continental scales affecting temperate and boreal forests and related to the following issues: functional diversity and responses to disturbances in temperate forests; extension, sensitivity to climate warming and carbon fluxes in the case of boreal forests.
- Interdisciplinary research, observational field studies, experiments or manipulations, meta-analyses, reviews or modeling approaches are also welcome.
Keywords: Temperate forests, Boreal forests, Forest ecosystems, Global carbon fluxes, Global Change, Climate change, Drought, Fire, Forest fires, Dynamics, Forest composition, Forest growth, Forest mortality, Successional dynamics, Forest disturbances, Climate warming
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
