Wildfires in Arctic and Boreal Latitudes Impacting Ecosystems

Learn how wildfires are impacting photosynthesis rates in Canada and Alaska, leading to the transformation of boreal forests. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine are studying the effects of wildfires on black spruce forests and the rise of deciduous shrubs and trees in these regions. Find out how these changes could affect carbon dioxide removal and ecosystem functions in the Arctic and boreal latitudes.
