It forms one of the world’s largest forest tracts and amounts to some 25% of the world’s forest cover. Boreal forest ecosystems developed under the influence of an active natural disturbance regime that created a complex and dynamic pattern of land cover. Species mix, patterns of succession, and the role of specific disturbance factors vary from region to region. Fire and insect damage represent two major natural disturbance factors, although the extent and patterns of these disturbances may partly reflect human influences.
