The 2023 wildfire season in Québec set records due to extreme warm and dry conditions, burning 4.5 million hectares indicating persistent escalating impacts associated with climate change. This study reviews the unusual weather conditions that led fires, discussing their extensive on forest sector, fire management, boreal caribou habitats, particularly profound effects First Nation communities. wildfires significant declines productivity timber supply, overwhelming management resources,...
Regional analyses assessing the vulnerabilities of forest ecosystems and sector to climate change are key considering heterogeneity impacts as well fact that risks, opportunities, adaptation capacities might differ regionally. Here we provide Integrated Assessment on Quebec's forests, a work involved several research teams focused commercial forests potential solutions. Our showed will alter ecological processes within forests. These changes result in important modifications landscapes....
Abstract Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate‐ and land‐use‐induced changes in landscape cause shifts vegetation composition, which affect entire webs. We used simulations of forest dynamics movements interacting species, parameterized empirical observations, to predict the outcomes a large‐mammal web boreal forest. demonstrate that climate‐ landscapes exacerbate asymmetrical...
Significance Despite the growing recognition that indirect interactions within species networks can determine food web dynamics, empirical evidence remains rare. We demonstrate how impact of insects on forest structure and composition reverberate across trophic levels by altering apparent competition in a large-mammal subjected to timber extraction. Spruce budworm outbreaks initiated flush deciduous vegetation benefited moose, which translated into between moose boreal caribou through wolf...
Logging is the main human disturbance impacting biodiversity in forest ecosystems. However, impact of harvesting on modulated by abiotic conditions through complex relationships that remain poorly documented. Therefore, interplay between management and climate change can no longer be ignored. Our aim was to study expected long-term variations assemblage bird beetle communities following modifications under different scenarios. We developed species distribution models predict occurrence 88...
The combination of climate change and anthropogenic disturbance significantly impacts forest bird assemblages. Assessing the cumulative effects management on biodiversity ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration storage provisioning wood products is key to informing conservation decision making. Specifically, we projected changes in composition structure according various strategies under a changing using LANDIS-II for two case study areas Quebec (Canada): hemiboreal (Hereford...
Abstract Age and sex dependent spatial segregation has resulted in limited knowledge of the ecology demography sperm whale adult males feeding seasonally high latitudes. This study focused on interacting with Patagonian toothfish ( Dissostichus eleginoides ) fishery operating off Kerguelen Crozet Archipelagos. Demographic parameters were estimated using a 10‐yr‐long photo‐identification data set paired multistate closed robust design capture‐mark‐recapture models. The examination 29,078...
Abstract Aim Despite an increasing number of studies highlighting the impacts climate change on boreal species, main factors that will drive changes in species assemblages remain ambiguous. We study how community composition would following anthropogenic and natural disturbances. determine drivers assemblage dissimilarity for bird beetle communities. Location Côte‐Nord, Québec, Canada. Methods quantify two climate‐induced pathways based direct indirect effects occurrence under different...
Single-species conservation management is often proposed to preserve biodiversity in human-disturbed landscapes. How global change will impact the umbrella value of single-species strategies remains an open question critical importance. We assessed effectiveness threatened boreal caribou as for bird and beetle under change. combined mechanistic, spatially explicit models forest dynamics predator-prey interactions forecast on survival forest. then used predictive species occupancy...
Abstract Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land use-induced changes landscape cause shifts in vegetation composition, which affect entire webs. We used simulations of forest dynamics movements interacting species, parameterized empirical observations, to predict the outcomes a large-mammal food-web boreal forest. demonstrate that climate- landscapes exacerbate asymmetrical...
Abstract Despite an increasing number of studies highlighting the impacts climate change on boreal species, main factors that will drive changes in species assemblages remain ambiguous. We quantify two climate-induced pathways based direct and indirect effects occupancy assemblage dis-similarity under different harvest management scenarios. The illustrate impact variables while are reflected through land cover composition. To understand causes dissimilarity, we analyze regional latitudinal...
La saison des feux de forêt 2023 au Québec, marquée par conditions extrêmement chaudes et sèches, a établi nouveaux records en brûlant 4,5 millions d'hectares. Cette situation est directement liée aux impacts persistants augmentation du changement climatique. étude examine les météorologiques exceptionnelles ayant mené évalue leurs significatifs sur le secteur forestier, la gestion feux, habitats caribou boréal, met particulièrement lumière répercussions profondes communautés Premières...
