Effects of Disturbance and Climate Change on Ecosystem Performance in the Yukon River Basin Boreal Forest

Effects of Disturbance and Climate Change on Ecosystem Performance in the Yukon River Basin Boreal Forest

A warming climate influences boreal forest productivity, dynamics, and disturbance regimes. We used ecosystem models and 250 m satellite Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data averaged over the growing season (GSN) to model current, and estimate future, ecosystem performance. We modeled...
