Canada’s forests are losing their ability to bounce back from drought—and we now have the data to show it - Using tree-ring data from 40,000+ trees across 4558 plots and 23 species, we explored how trees responded to drought over the past century In GCB onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It has now been a year since I stepped into the role of co-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Wildland Fire (IJWF). I find myself with a moment to reflect on this transformative experience. www.publish.csiro.au/wf/Fulltext/...

New paleofire study! Spring droughts have intensified over the past 250 years, reshaping fire seasonality in eastern Canada. Spring is now nearly as flammable as summer, driving infrequent but large and severe fires 🌲🔥 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper published in @NatureComms The 2023 fire season in Canada is a wake-up call: severe climate impacts on fire activity are arriving decades earlier than predicted. Building fire-resilient environments is now more critical than ever! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to announce that I’ve been appointed co-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Wildland Fire. It's an incredible opportunity to lead and support groundbreaking research in fire science! publish.csiro.au/wf

Congrats to Etienne Robert for this paper in GCB fusing tree rings & genomics in ecological forecasting: genetically differentiated boreal black spruce populations harbor variation that could play a crucial role in productivity and growth under climate change onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New study: The anticipated increase in Canadian #wildfire disturbances due to anthropogenic #ClimateChange will reduce the extent of the southern #boreal forest and hamper land use, mirroring transformations observed around 7,000 years ago www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Our new study examines how trees adjust drought and frost responses to local climates across Canada's vast forests. Some species adapt, others don't. More data needed to predict future impacts of climate change besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thanks Ben! But what do you mean about the species' proportions time plot being terrifying?

Our groundbreaking tree-ring study, just published in @NatureComms, uncovers compelling evidence of decreasing tree growth rates across Canadian forests from 1951-2018, linked to rising summer temperatures #Drought #TreeRing www.nature.com/articles/s41...
