Boreal Forest Research
Boreal Forest Research focuses on studying the vast forests found in northern regions of the world, primarily across Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia. These forests, characterized by coniferous trees like pine and spruce, play a crucial role in the global ecosystem by storing carbon, supporting biodiversity, and regulating climate. Researchers examine various aspects, including the health of the forests, the impact of climate change, and forest management practices. The goal is to understand how to preserve these vital ecosystems while balancing human needs, ensuring sustainable use of resources, and protecting wildlife habitats.
