Special Collection in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research

Submission deadline: 1 September 2027

This Special Collection in the Canadian Journal of Forest Researchwill highlight research presented at IBFRA 2026 to showcase advances in understanding disturbance processes, resilience mechanisms, and adaptive responses in boreal forest systems. IBFRA 2026 participants whose work is accepted for presentation at the conference, either as a poster or an oral presentation, will be invited to submit their work.

This collection welcomes reviews, methods papers, data papers, perspectives, notes, and regular research articles that advance knowledge of boreal forest dynamics in the context of disturbance and climate change. Submissions may address, but are not limited to, topics such as disturbance regimes and recovery processes, climate–disturbance interactions, carbon and biogeochemical cycling, biodiversity and landscape resilience, adaptive forest management, Indigenous knowledge and stewardship, monitoring and modeling approaches, and the social and policy dimensions of living with disturbance in boreal forests.
