Under the projected global warming conditions, coniferous forest soils should release carbon into the atmosphere more readily than deciduous forest soils. » Laurentian Forestry Centre
Climate change - Predicting the effect of drought on tree growth
During a drought period, the soil moisture content declines. Soil moisture plays an important role in forests since it has a direct effect on tree growth and transpiration by controlling the leaves' CO2 uptake » Laurentian Forestry Centre

The DNA barcode: a unique identifier for pathogenic forest fungi
In the era of molecular biology, DNA barcoding is being used to fill gaps in taxonomy and confirm findings obtained through traditional approaches based on morphological differences between species. DNA barcodes can be used to correctly identify and classify any kind of living organism. » Laurentian Forestry Centre
