Mixed‐wood boreal forests are characterized by a heterogeneous landscape dominated by coniferous or deciduous species depending on stand moisture and fire activity. Our study highlights the long‐term… Read more “Article: Coniferization of the mixed-wood boreal forests under warm climate”
Article: Integrating species-specific information in models improves regional projections under climate change
Vegetation responses to climate change are commonly simulated using models that generalize the characteristics of species and ecosystems to facilitate global–scale modeling efforts. In this article, we… Read more “Article: Integrating species-specific information in models improves regional projections under climate change”
Article: Guidelines for the use and interpretation of palaeofire reconstructions based on various archives and proxies
We present a comparative analysis of fire reconstructions from tree rings and from wood charcoal preserved in forest soils, peat and lake sediments. Our objective is to highlight the benefits and limits of… Read more “Article: Guidelines for the use and interpretation of palaeofire reconstructions based on various archives and proxies”

Article: Climatic drivers of large wildfires in boreal forests
Our paper in Environmental Research Letters studying the links between large wildfire events and climatic and/or meteorological conditions in coniferous boreal forest of north-eastern Canada. We find that… Read more “Article: Climatic drivers of large wildfires in boreal forests”
Project: Predicting circumboreal fires
I am a member of the EU project PREREAL (Improving PREdictability of circumboREAL forest fire activity and its ecological and socio-economic impacts through multi-proxy data comparisons)! All about… Read more “Project: Predicting circumboreal fires”
Article: Fire size alters vegetation trajectories in boreal forests
We wrote a paper about impacts of large-fire episodes in vegetation dynamics of boreal forests during the Holocene in Journal of Biogeography. We find that fire size… Read more “Article: Fire size alters vegetation trajectories in boreal forests”
