Boreal ecology is the study of ecosystems in the subarctic (boreal) zone of the Northern hemisphere. These areas are dominated by coniferous forest, generally have permafrost soils, and occur ...

The Western Arctic Caribou Herd, once the biggest in Alaska, is faltering, having fallen from a high of 490,000 animals in 2003 to only 152,000 as of 2023. But to the east, the Porcupine Caribou ...

The Arctic-boreal zone, historically a carbon sink, is now a carbon source, with 34% of the region emitting more CO 2 than it absorbs, increasing to 40% when fire emissions are included.

Grazing sheep under the panels of huge solar farms is proving to have multiple benefits. As well as maintaining the ground, it improves soil quality, reduces flooding, and makes the sheep happier ...

In the middle of Tasmania sits a 5,000-hectare property once used for sheep grazing and crop growing. Loading... It's known as "the Quoin" — an architectural term for the external corner of a ...

Michael Undi, a livestock scientist at the center, has completed research on how cattle perform on bale grazing and corn residue grazing, which show both to be viable options for cattle producers.

Solar shepherds, who manage sheep grazing under solar panels, are part of a growing movement that combines agriculture and renewable energy — and offers high incomes in the process. My recent ...

It is also home to many species at risk, including boreal caribou. Átl’ka7tsem / Howe Sound Biosphere Region (AHSBR) received its official UNESCO designation in September 2021, becoming Canada’s ...

A study published in Global Change Biology shows that caribou will optimize their migration path based on their collective memories. Caribou are the largest species on land in the Arctic.

Reduced forest density and shifting species distributions disrupt habitats and predator–prey dynamics. For example, boreal woodland caribou are losing critical habitat as forests thin, while wolves ...
