Impacts of daily weather variability on simulations of the Canadian boreal forest

- We test a forest gap model response to different temporal resolutions of meteorology.
- The model is applied along a bioclimatic transect crossing the boreal region of central Canada.
- Daily-scale weather variability improves predictions of present-day forest attributes, particularly at the forest ecotones.
- To predict boreal forest response to climatic change, plausible projections of future daily scale variability are necessary.
