| Summary | The research goals were to a) evaluate the impacts of the changing fire regime on habitat composition and/or structure in the short- and longer-term; and b) assess the potential responses of terrestrial vertebrates to these changes based on our understanding of their reliance on key aspects of habitat composition and/or structure. The research offers a range of possibilities about the future land-cover and northern wildlife communities under changing wildfires, however uncertainties about feedbacks and future conditions of this vast, diverse, and remote landscape present the greatest challenges for forecasting and other supports for adaptation planning. |
| Local Relevance | This research is a comprehensive review of the impacts of novel wildfire disturbances on land-cover and wildlife in boreal NWT. |
