NONLINEARITIES, SCALE-DEPENDENCE, AND INDIVIDUALISM OF BOREAL FOREST TREES TO CLIMATE FORCING
Changes in climate are affecting tree growth, fire regimes and the geographic ranges of species (Beck et al. 2011; Kelly et al. 2013). Increasing our understanding of how boreal tree species respond to climate warming is critical for predicting the future states of the boreal forest and assessing th...
