TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes early stand-scale studies of pristine boreal forest structures, disturbance regimes and successional patterns carried out in boreal Eurasia, and reveal, characterize and classify stand dynamic types that can be used as templates for nature-based management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new classification of legacies, which includes six categories: material legacies with above-and belowground, and biotic and abiotic categories, and information legacy with above and belowground categories, influenced by differential patterns of editing and conditioning by legacy syndromes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed natural disturbances in boreal and temperate forest ecosystems for the period 2001-2014, aiming to quantify their within-and between-biome variation and compare the climate sensitivity of disturbances across biomes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the literature on carbon dynamics of North American boreal forests after most common disturbances, stand replacing wildfire and clearcut logging, and show that after a stand replacing disturbance, live biomass increases rapidly leading to the maximal biomass stage, then stabilizes or slightly declines at old-growth or gap dynamics stage at which late-successional tree species dominate the stand.

TL;DR: The regeneration patterns in wind-damaged areas are largely influenced by damage severity and varied microrelief, and the seedling densities were lowest on mounds and highest in pits among microsites in heavily and moderately damaged sites.
