Climate change-associated trends in biomass dynamics are consistent across soil drainage classes in western boreal forests of Canada

Abstract Background Consistent long-term declines in net aboveground biomass change have been reported in some boreal and tropical forests. Global change-type drought (i.e., demands of increased evapotranspiration exceeding soil water reserves) has been identified as the main driver for these declin...
