A recent study published in AGU Advances examines how the conservation and protection of two Alaskan forests, Tongass and Chugach, are essential in fightin | Earth And The Environment

<p>Analyses of U.S. national forests led by Oregon State University scientists shows that increased protections for two Alaskan forests is a key to meeting climate and biodiversity goals.</p>

The boreal region's soils have long buffered the planet against warming by storing huge quantities of carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere. Its remoteness has historically protected its forests and wetlands from extensive human impact.

Earth's boreal forests circle our planet's far northern reaches, just south of the Arctic's treeless tundra.

<p>Using satellite images, a team of researchers led by Northern Arizona University found that fires in North America's boreal forest may be changing the environment in ways that researchers didn't previously anticipate.</p>

In-person lectures return next month.

Our shifting climate could have big repercussions on Canada’s boreal forest. Drought, fire and insect stressors could mean a shift of boreal regions further north. So what would that mean for Alberta and Saskatchewan’s landscape?

New research from Northern Arizona University shows Earth’s most northern forests have begun to shift because of warming global temperatures. KNAU’s Melissa Sevigny reports.
